What Teachers Need To Know About Andragogy

Andragogy is a theory of adult learning that focuses on the ways in which adults learn best. This type of theory was created in 1968 by Malcolm Knowles, and it differs from pedagogy, which focuses on how children learn. Andragogy focuses on self-direction and personalization in the classroom. It aims to give students opportunities to explore their own interests while also challenging them to take responsibility for their own education. This can be accomplished through various methods such as project-based learning or independent study.

I’ve worked with leaders for over 20 years, and there are some common themes that come up again and again. For example, we all tend to learn best when we learn in small doses versus large chunks of information all at once. In fact, research shows that if we receive too much information at once, our brains tend to shut down—that’s why so many people have trouble remembering what they read on Wikipedia or Google (not to mention their own emails). However, if you break down key concepts into smaller pieces and then practice them over time with repetition… well then suddenly it becomes much easier to gain mastery at any given skill set!

Leadership is best taught in small doses.
