Just to clarify: Knowles claimed (in his updated work) that the principles of andragogy are better applied to self-directed people rather than to adults per se. Children or adults who are relatively independent would be best served by an andragogical approach. Children or adults who are relatively dependent may be better served by a pedagogical approach.
Six Assumptions of Adult Learners 1. The Need to know 2. Self Concept 3. Experience 4. Readiness to learn 5. Orientation to learning 6. Motivation to learn
Wow so applicable SEE learning 1. Need to Know 1:23 2. Self Concept 1:57 3. Experience 2:35 4. Readiness to Learn 3:23 wow so interestingly true awesome
I have utilized adult learning theory in my teaching face to face as well as in online teaching. What I enjoyed about this video was a walk through the history of thought related to androgogy as well some critiques of the theory. Very specific attributes detailed a few concepts I have not previously associated with androgogy.
I enjoyed the video. It is really an extension of the theories that I was introduced to in my last class (Adult Theory). It is really an introduction and a framework for teaching and creates an atmosphere for good teaching practice. I recognized many of the six assumptions in myself and how they affect me as an adult learner.
Thank you for creating this introductory video... I agree with the narrator's comment that this appears to be a framework for teaching and that factors cane applied to adults and children. I appreciate this resources as a good starting point for learning more.
@GoodbuJ Thanks for letting us know this is available - don't think it was when we uploaded the video. Have now changed to a CC licence. Let us know how you use it - it would be useful for our project.
Very interesting information while I study adult learning and instruction. I just got 4 hours of sleep and woke up because I have to study and turn in assignments that are late. I'm watching this video. Trying not to fall asleep because I am sleepy.
@Nina2663 Thanks for the feedback and for pointing out the typo in the video - we had missed that but will get it fixed as soon as possible. All the best.
As an educator and scientist, I can appreciate the growth from the research and knowledge from educators that was put into learning the true meaning of "Andragogy." The process of learning andragogy leads from one generation to generations of study. Amazing Kim Fisher
As a therapist who utilizes Reality Therapy, these 6 assumptions of adult learning could "tie in" to Glasser's 5 basic needs theory...do adults choose to learn for power, independence, survival, belonging, or fun?
Glasser's Choice Theory is used heavily in the educational field. I would say that while both children and adults are motivated by these five goals, I would hypothesize that children tend to be more motivated by fun, adolescents by belonging, young adults more by independence, middle-aged adults more by power, and finally, a return to fun and belonging in retirement. This is just my intuition, combined with Erikson's developmental stages.
Adult learners must be self-concept readiness to learn must be motivation to learn and focusing on ready to learn pedagogy dependent on teacher decision few life experence Andragogy and pedagogy adult learning is important because the focus is to help educators understand the learners they teach understand . pedagogy literally means the art and science of educating children pedagogy few life experience dependent on decision adult are self directed in their learning and planning adult may be viewed as professionals and individuals with personal responsibilities adult share some of the following cognitive characteristics want control over their own learning are intrinsically motivated .
Really interesting. However, don't these principles now apply to young people too as the difficulties of engaging young people with current pedagogies becomes more apparent? Just sat in on a global online debate where a New York student called on educators to ditch teacher-focused curriculum and added: "I think we need to switch from pedagogy to to andragogy."
This is a great video but I would like to know what the PC3 team is. I am sharing this video with my class on Instructional Design and Professional Development and would like to provide them with references for the PC3 team.
Great, but I wished the titles of each concept where written on a slide. As a primarily visual learner, I missed one of them while writing notes. (Or have a list at the end of the presentation).
Hi there, if this video is licensed under creative commons attribution license, can you change your standard you tube license to creative commons? This option is now available. Makes it hard to use otherwise :)
ANDRagogy has nothing to do with adult learning! ANDR (ἀνδρ) is the root of anér (ἀνήρ) which means "man" (male human being). So the word means "men's learning" as opposed to women's learning. Ancient Greek does not have a term for what we call an adult, but andragogy just makes no sense. Do not mess with what you do not know!!
