Full textAbstract:
Adult learning principles develop through an analysis and synthesis of adult education, andragogy, teaching, and learning in higher education. This research investigates foundational assumptions relevant to the field of adult education with a focus on andragogy in higher education. Characteristics of adult learners and principles of adult learning in higher education bear focus through the lens of andragogy. As such, andragogy as the preferred learning style of adults, andragogy vs. pedagogy, and cognitive learning develop relational significance to adult learners in higher education. As a result, the implications of linking learning styles and reflections of andragogy as a learning style are considered.

Full textAbstract:
The term Andragogy does not seem so familiar to educators and teachers. Educators and teachers are more familiar with the term Pedagogy, because the term is used in education. If it refers to the meaning of the term Pedagogy is the education of children, while Andragogy is an adult education. Andragogy began to be known today by educational activists, this is because the emergence of the problem of education at this time is the number of adults who started learning material that the material should have been learned in childhood. The problem is how to adapt the educational methods used to adult-like adults. In learning Arabic there is a problem when adults begin to study the material that should be the same as madrasah tsanawiyah or aliyah. Teachers should treat like adults in the learning process, therefore adults as students should be treated appropriately. Teachers are no longer the main actors or as learning centers but teachers are only facilitators and students become learning centers. The learning process focuses on providing assistance to the participants to understand what is the focus of attention and problems. Arabic learning using Andragogi approach focuses on aspects of student self-concept in learning objectives, previous learning experiences about Arabic, readiness to learn new Arabic material with new environmental conditions, and orientation or ideals towards learning Arabic. Arabic learning model using Andragogi approach include the method of humanistic, constructiveness, and problem solving.

Full textAbstract:
Along with a discussion of andragogy, which is the concept that adults learn differently than younger learners, and therefore require different teaching methods, this paper also explores a specific set of exercises, called drama techniques, to increase the effectiveness of adult foreign language teaching and learning that can be employed within the framework of andragogy. Each of Knowles’s assumptions (see Knowles, 1984; Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007), which form the basis for the andragogy concept, will be analyzed in conjunction with specific drama techniques. Through this exposition it will be shown that drama techniques are effective tools for implementing the andragogical approach to adult foreign language teaching.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of writing this article is to reintroduce the concept of adult learning (andragogy). Because basically learning adults with children is different. It is said by adults, when physically, biologically, and psychologically mature. The method of writing this article uses the literature study method. Knowles explained that andragogy is an art of teaching for adults. According to Knowles there are four main assumptions that distinguish between andragogy and pedagogy, namely: self-concept, experience, readiness for learning, and orientation towards learning activities. The application into the learning process is to create a pleasant learning atmosphere, pleasant physical environment. Identification of the needs of learning citizens is identified together between learning citizens and tutors so that it can be known the real situation. Fourth, learning experiences are arranged together between learning citizens and tutors so that they will feel ownership of the material to be delivered.

Full textAbstract:
This article will examine specific films that portray events or phenomena of adult learning and development, and how adult learning and development can be explored by studying the lives of the fictional characters in film. It will demonstrate how the use of contemporary film by adult educators and adult learners can enhance insights about people, about life’s dilemmas, and about the growth and development in adulthood. To teach adults successfully, methods and techniques must be adapted to their skills and environments. Despite genre or popularity, film has the opportunity to tell a story and/or be a real-life recording. Film provides another strategy of telling stories to help adult educators and adult learners have further reflection, insights, emotional reactions, and enhance various life experiences and stages of development. Learners can use film to better understand narratives outside of their own and develop alternative interpretations, and film can also be used to observe social phenomena in a noninvasive way. The films discussed in the article were chosen by the author to draw the attention to examples of various aspects of adult learning and development.

Full textAbstract:
At this point, there are no systematic studies on the problems of adult education as a field of scientific and theoretical elaboration and its transformation in andragogy in Ukraine. The article aims to conduct a holistic and systematic analysis of establishing and developing andragogy as a theory and practice of adult education in Ukraine between the late 19th century - the 20th century to use the positive historical experience in modern andragogy. The article justifies the periodization of andragogy development in Ukraine (the 1850s-1917 - the emergence of theory and practice of adult learning in the context of developing adult education as a form of social and educational movement and out-of-school education; 1918-1940 - the establishment of scientific principles of adult learning in the system of illiteracy elimination and political education; the 1950s-1980s - the scientific elaboration of andragogical problems in the light of the Soviet concept of adult pedagogy; the 1990s - the early 21st century - the development of andragogy as a science, academic subject, social practice). The periodization of andragogy development in Ukraine has made it possible to identify the system-forming processes in adult education at the level of structural and organizational forms. A historiographical analysis of the problem under study shows that Ukrainian scholars pay much attention to adult education as a socio-cultural phenomenon with deep historical traditions and heritage. Despite the growing interest of scholars in this particular problem, the term “andragogy” is not commonly used in the context of their research. At the same time, almost all authors are interested in the theory and practice of adult learning.

This study aims to find out whether the English lecturer study program, in other words, has applied andragogy as teaching to people who have been considered adults. The lecturer uses andragogy as a good guide in conveying a knowledge that is focused on student experience, student needs and related to student personalization. Andragogy is instruction for adults to be more focused on the process and to reduce less on the content taught in learning. This article adopts the instruments of the victor cx wang article published in 2015. These findings indicate that lecturers are more directed towards students who become students-centered which are characterized by group discussions, lecturers only direct through lectures and encourage students to dialogue. This teaching method is in line with teaching andragogy which directs adult students to be independent in learning.

Full textAbstract:
Nurse educators need to be cognizant of their instructional methods to ensure they are using appropriate techniques to effectively teach students as adult learners. Andragogy is the practice of teaching adult learners; its role and application in concept-based nursing education in the online, classroom, and clinical teaching contexts are explored in this reflective literature review. Concept-based curriculum is a method of teaching that utilizes active learning strategies to aid in developing critical thinking skills and knowledge comprehension. Reflections on incorporating andragogy to teach in a concept-based curriculum in nursing by a novice educator is also presented along with selected teaching techniques that has been utilized to solidify nursing students learning. It has been shown that non-traditional teaching techniques such as simulation, case studies, debates, and creating a “flipped” classroom can be effective in applying andragogy in a concept-based curriculum model. Incorporating andragogy within the concept-based curriculum is vital for equipping nursing students with necessary critical thinking and reflection skills required for nursing practice.

In the field of adult education, one of the better known concepts is that of the Six Assumptions of Malcolm Knowles. These assumptions, according to Knowles, divide the world of pedagogy, defined as the art and science of teaching children, from that of andragogy, conceived as the art and science of helping adults learn. In the realm of education for older learners, myriad schools and programs dot the educational landscape, but one particularly unorthodox institution of adult education, the Highlander Folk School, led by activist educator Myles Horton, stands out for its teaching roles in the Union Labor Movement of the 1930s and 1940s, and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. This paper looks at Myles Horton of the Highlander Folk School, his background, education and preparation for establishing his lifelong dream of using alternative education among the “common uncommon people” for learning how to solve social and economic justice problems, and this paper then focuses on the extent to which the philosophy and teaching actions of Horton correspond to the Six Assumption Framework of andragogy as delineated by Malcolm Knowles.

Full textAbstract:
Adult learning and phenomena of stress and trauma are not often connected within scientific entities or integrated into practical teaching. However, adult education theory and multidimensional model of coping - BASIC Ph - have a mutual subject: work with humans. During the process of learning and teaching adults gain insights and self-insights, which often lead to behavioral change and BASIC Ph insists exactly on the fact that humans can learn about coping strategies and therefore can support self-development. Based on comprehensive study on quality of communication with chronically ill children, their families, schools and medical staff, two dissertations and postgraduate pedagogy studies, with different research tasks, have applied the same theoretical concept and brought valuable insights on practical use of BASIC Ph in work with ill children. Thus this paper interprets the results of all three studies from the perspective of adult education and aims to demonstrate the utilization of BASIC Ph model in adult learning and teaching.

Full textAbstract:
The education level of many adult people generally is low. The result of examining towards a considerable body of literature on the concepts of andragogy shows that now many of practices of adult education and training have been conducted by using a pedagogical approach. Their practices are not effective since the orientation toward learning for adult people is one of subject-centeredness. Consequently, the education and training for adults should be promoted by using andragogybased learning and the orientation toward learning is one of problem-centeredness.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to link recent findings in cognitive neuroscience to better understand how andragogically informed instructional practices impact cognition and learning. Design/methodology/approach – The research questions guiding the study is in what ways can the recent findings in cognitive neuroscience help to inform adult education theory, including andragogy in particular, to deepen our understanding of how andragogical instructional principles and practices can improve learning? We adopted Torraco’s (2005) integrative literature review approach of providing enough details regarding the selection of the literature and the identification and verification of emerged themes of main ideas. Findings – The core assumptions of andragogy (self-direction, prior experience, readiness to learn and immediacy of application) have a connection to the neural networks related to memory and cognition. Research limitations/implications – First, this study provides fundamental foundations for combining cognitive neuroscience and adult learning to illuminate how cognitive neuroscience contributes physiologically to adult learning. Second, the findings in cognitive neuroscience related to the four assumptions for andragogy help to provide scientific explanations and interpretations for adult learning theories influencing human resource development (HRD), such as self-directed learning, experiential learning and role theory. Practical implications – First, HRD practitioners could use the integrative approach between andragogy and the cognitive neuroscience to reduce the issues of learning activities in generation differences. In addition, cognitive neuroscience research may contribute to improving teaching and instructional techniques. Originality/value – The contributions of this study is that it provides an integrative review about why and how anagogical principles work through the lens of cognitive neuroscience. Based on the findings, we suggested a model of adaptive cognitive neuroscience-adult learning structures.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the actualization of andragogical learning strategies for higher education in disruption era. Disruption era as an effect of globalization demands optimal integrity of an individual so that they can live their lives well. College students as adult learners are expected to be able to interpret and work around so that the learning they do can run effectively for their future. The library research qualitative approach is chosen in order to compile various relevant references related to andragogical learning strategies in a holistic manner. Based on studies from several references, it can be concluded that andragogy is very relevant to the needs of college students as adult learners. Desire to learn, ability to learn, means to learn, and need to learn become the consideration of the relevance of the concept of andragogy to the needs of college students. On the other hand, the principle of andragogy is also very synergistic with the development of learning independence from a learner. The development of a very rapid disruption era led to changes in learning patterns, from teacher centered to student centered. The andragogical learning process must consider the learner's needs and some aspects of individuality as uniqueness and potential that must be developed. The assumptions that underlie andagoogical learning strategies in tertiary institutions are that students must understand their learning orientation, have a responsible self-concept, learn their life experiences, realize their readiness to learn, learn in concrete, and strengthen their intrinsic motivation. The actualization of andragogical learning strategies can be maximized by studying the learning process contextually, increasing participation in learning, and utilizing the advancement of science and technology. The internet must be optimized as a learning aid so that college students can understand the current conditions of the environment that they will face in the real world. Thus, the demands of the disruption era can be overcome through the actualization of andragogical learning strategies.

Artikel ini mengkaji aktualisasi strategi pembelajaran andragogis bagi pendidikan tinggi di era disrupsi. Era disrupsi sebagai efek globalisasi menuntut integritas optimal dari seorang individu agar mereka dapat menjalani kehidupan dengan baik. Mahasiswa sebagai pembelajar dewasa diharapkan mampu memaknai sekaligus menyiasati agar pembelajaran yang mereka lakukan dapat berjalan secara efektif demi masa depan mereka. Pendekatan kualitatif berjenis library research dipilih dalam rangka merangkai berbagai referensi yang relevan terkait dengan strategi pembelajaran andragogis secara holistik. Berdasarkan kajian dari beberapa referensi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa andragogi sangat relevan dengan kebutuhan mahasiswa sebagai pembelajar dewasa. Desire to learn, ability to learn, means to learn, serta need to learn menjadi pertimbangan relevansi konsep andragogi dengan kebutuhan mahasiswa. Di sisi lain, prinsip andragogi juga sangat sinergis dengan pengembangan kemandirian belajar dari seorang pembelajar. Perkembangan era disrupsi yang sangat pesat mendorong perubahan pola pembelajaran, dari teacher centered menju student centered. Proses pembelajaran andragogis harus mempertimbangkan kebutuhan pembelajar serta beberapa aspek individualitasnya sebagai keunikan dan potensi yang harus dikembangkan. Asumsi yang mendasari strategi pembelajaran andragoogis di perguruan tinggi diantaranaya yaitu mahasiswa harus memahami orientasi belajarnya, memiliki konsep diri yang bertanggung jawab, mempelajari pengalaman hidupnya, menyadari kesiapan belajarnya, belajar secara konkret, serta menguatkan motivasi intrinsiknya. Adapun aktualisasi strategi pembelajaran andragogis dapat dimaksimalkan dengan cara mengkaji proses pembelajaran secara kontekstual, meningkatkan partisipasi dalam pembelajaran, serta memanfaatkan kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi. Internet harus dioptimalkan sebagai alat bantu pembelajaran agar mahasiswa dapat memahami kondisi terkini dari lingkungan yang ia akan hadapi di dunia nyata. Dengan demikian, tuntutan era disrupsi dapat diatasi melalui aktualisasi strategi pembelajaran andragogis.

Today, the world is changing, re-establishing the role of education to have a developed society. This article aims to explore the practical application of Andragogy as a key element for creating a sustainable lifelong learning society, to propose strategies for developing a lifelong learning society using andragogical concepts, to enhance ‘andragogy' as a scientific academic discipline and to expand on the horizon of andragogical assumptions and processes put forth by Malcolm Knowles. The literature on andragogy demonstrates the need to consider the future of andragogy, which may strengthen the theory and allow for the assumptions and processes to further guide this aspect of adult education. While the journey towards a lifelong learning society will continue to evolve, the lessons learned may help to identify key facilitating factors as well as pitfalls to be avoided in formulating more comprehensive lifelong learning society development strategies in the future.

The essence of social entrepreneurship is the ability to initiate, lead and implement problem-solving strategies, through cooperation with others in all types of social networks. The purpose of this study analyzes: 1) entrepreneurship training, 2) adult education assumptions, and 3) community empowerment. This study is discussed by using a comparative theory analysis method that related to entrepreneurship training, andragogy, and community empowerment from various literary sources. Analysis is conducted to find conclusions that can be justified scientifically. The results of the study conclude that: 1) social entrepreneurship training is an organized learning process from planning, implementation, and evaluation on non-formal education path aimed at enhancing community knowledge, attitude and skills for learning and endeavor, 2) entrepreneurship training based on andragogy conducted through a learning process that implements adults’ assumptions of self-conceptual, learning experiences, learning readiness, and learning orientation. 3) Community empowerment is a process of empowerment or strength to community to have the ability of individuals who completely agreed with the community in building social and economic empowerment of the community.

The article analyzes a new education paradigm based on the concept of e-learning, which relates to the ideas of andragogy. The article deals with the openness of education for each individual, that is confirmed by the fact that each individual is provided with the conditions for free development of his/her educational, intellectual and activity opportunities throughout his/her life. The article presents the main differences between the traditional education and e-learning. The most appropriate andragogical platform means continuous, student-centered adult education, there are significant changes in the purpose and the content of teaching, social roles, forms and nature of communication between the teacher and the student, based on e-learning.

Full textAbstract:
While the traditional approach to education views the student as a passive receptacle of knowledge, the model of adult learning known as andragogy views the learner as an active learner in the process. In this article, educational outcomes and student satisfaction were reported for three sections of an introductory research course at the undergraduate level. Two of these sections employed a text that was organized according to the principles of andragogy while the other section used a traditional text. Modest support for the model of adult learning (andragogy) was revealed in the qualitative data analyzed because more students evaluated this model as positive than as negative. The quantitative analysis of data failed to provide support for this model because there was not a statistically significant difference between the three sections on knowledge, satisfaction, or change in psychosocial variables such as willingness to participate in research activities.

Full textAbstract:
Students in today’s college classroom are diverse in age and work, leadership, and life experiences; hence, students transitioning into adulthood may understand and relate core leadership knowledge to their own experiences differently than mature adults. As such, we call upon andragogy, a theory of adult learning, to inform our approach to teaching leadership. We employ andragogy and its six assumptions (the learners’ self-concept, the role of experience, readiness to learn, orientation to learning, motivation, and the need to know) as a guiding framework for the selection and development of leadership instructional tools, thus creating an individualized learning experience for emerging and full-fledged adults that bridges the leadership theory and practice gap. We offer examples of leadership instructional tools that align with andragogical assumptions and provide suggestions for scaling these assignments and activities to address students’ learning needs at different stages of adulthood.

ntroduction. The problem of lifelong learn-ing is not only the impact of scientific and technological revolution and globalization processes that significantly affect the socio-economic development of the world, but also the need for qualified personnel capable of lifelong learning, because investing in human capital brings the greatest and most profitable effect. not only to man but also to the economy as a whole. This question poses a new challenge to society – the urgent need for teaching staff to work with adults. As it turned out, free economic zones are not quite ready to train specialists for the sys-tem of non-formal and informal education.Analysis of publications.In the works of domestic sci-entists (O.

Attention is paid to the preparation of masters at SHEI "Donbass State Pedagogical University" in the specialty 011 Educational, pedagogical sciences. The important achievements of educators in developing a standard of higher education in Ukraine are indicated: the second (master's) level, field of knowledge 01 Education / Pedagogy, specialty 011 Edu-cational, pedagogical sciences. Conclusion. Thus, in the analyzed scientific works, the authors unanimously point out that there is an urgent need for specialists in adult education. We agree with the statements of the scientists of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine about the lack of monitor-ing between the existing inquiries of consumers and the proposals of institutions for the provision of educational services. We see that it is education that should be advanced in order to be able to predict the needs of mankind in the new specialists and prepare them in advance. It should be noted that teachers of public and private free economic zones must have a higher pedagogical education or the qualification of a teacher of a higher educational institution, an andragogue

Health insurance literacy is an emerging concept in the health education and health promotion field. The passage of the Affordable Care Act highlighted the link between health insurance and health outcomes. However, the law does not specifically address how the public should be educated on choosing an appropriate health insurance plan. Research shows adults, regardless of previous health insurance status, are likely confused and uncertain about their selection. The University of Maryland Extension developed and created health insurance Smart Choice Health Insurance™ to reduce confusion and increase confidence and capability to make this decision. Andragogy, an adult learning theory, was used to guide the development of the program and help ensure best practices are used to achieve desired outcomes. Using the six principles of andragogy, the team incorporated reality-based case studies, allowed adults time to practice, and emphasized choice making and many other elements to create an atmosphere conducive to adult learning. Results from Smart Choice indicate the program is successful in reducing confusion and increasing confidence. Furthermore, feedback from participants and trained educators indicates that adults were engaged in the program and found the materials useful. Based on program success, creation of new health insurance literacy programs grounded in adult education principles is under way.

In the realm of Christian education, the topic of adult spiritual formation has been broadly considered from the philosophical, theological, and practical viewpoints in order to aid spiritual formation practitioners in the design and execution of spiritual formation endeavors. Paralleling this body of literature is the vast topic of adult learning theory, examining the various ways adults learn. While the two disciplines seem to have potential commonalities, few works overtly identify them. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate connections between principles of spiritual formation and principles of adult learning theory found in the literature that have not previously been articulated, focusing on missional spiritual formation and the adult learning theories of andragogy and transformative learning.

Teorias CríticasReflections on teaching young and adult learners: dialogue among critical theories and andragogyABSTRACTLearning takes place when human beings establish dialectical processes of deconstruction, construction, and reconstruction of values and their identity, in the challenging process of producing knowledge in their life trajectory. This study aims to reflect on the critical theories of education that are implicit in the principles of Andragogy, a theory that studies the learning process of young people and adults, establishing relations with learning styles and strategies used in the perception and organization of information. It uses the (auto) biographical method for data collection, the case study for its organization and discourse analysis to interpret the information produced. Thus, it is believed that Andragogy considers teaching from the perspective of young and adult learners, which highlights theoretical interests that, although at times seem different, both defend the reality in which they need to rely on so as to recognize learning as a singular and complex process, interconnected to its material condition of existence, which allows for the emancipation of the learner, that is, education for life.Keywords: Learning.

In this rapidly changing world of technology and economic conditions, it is essential that practicing engineers and engineering educators continue to grow in their skills and knowledge in order to stay competitive and relevant in the industrial and educational work space. This paper describes the results for a course that combined the best techniques of andragogy to promote active learning in a curriculum of chemistry education, in particular, chemistry laboratory education. This experience with two separate correspondence classes with similar demographics are reported on. Questionnaires and oral open-ended discussions were used to assess the outcome of this effort. Overall the approach received positive reception while pointing out that correspondence students have full time jobs and active learning in general requires more effort and time.

Full textAbstract:
Using narrative inquiry as a relational methodology and as andragogy, the research puzzle was to deepen understanding of the experiences of women, living with limited literacies and as they engaged in tutoring. This work animates the temporal, curriculum and life making experiences of a tutee and tutor within the context of adult literacy with a focus on learning to write. As the study progressed and as trust developed, tension filled stories were experienced, shared and reimagined. Thinking through the lens of Dewey’s continuity of experience we demonstrate the links between literacies, curriculum making, and efforts to shift identities. Field texts provided textured and nuanced descriptions of narrative inquiry as andragogy, while supporting the tutee to expand her literate identity and the tutor to become more relational. This work invites readers to reimagine the ways in which educators practice alongside adults who are described as struggling readers and writers.

Full textAbstract:
The authors of this article consider Western teaching and learning alongside Confucian teaching and learning through reviewing the literature. The paper emphasizes that we must teach lower order thinking skills first before we teach higher order thinking skills, and confirms that rote learning and memorization precede critical thinking and creativity. It further confirms Brookfield's theory that cultural differences put a strain on the beautifully, well-reasoned theory of andragogy, which has brought a revolution to adult education and training in North America. Educational implications for instructors in North America who are involved in helping learners from the Confucian culture are such that these instructors should consider incorporating pedagogy into their everyday classroom practice. Andragogy alone may frustrate learners from the Confucian culture. Likewise, Western instructors who wish to practice andragogy in the Confucian culture may find that their practice may be limited by the aforementioned factors. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: Firstly, to contribute to a culturally sensitive discussion of teaching and learning and raise awareness that teaching and learning practices and beliefs are culturally embedded; Secondly, to draw attention to the complementary nature of what initially may appear to be two disparate approaches to teaching and learning. By comparing Western and Confucian teaching and learning perspectives, and reviewing pertinent literature, the authors seek to highlight some important ideas about teaching and learning that should be promoted to achieve the best learning outcomes on the part of all learners placed in this global economy and competition.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to apply adult-centered learning theories to online information literacy tutorials. Design/methodology/approach – This is a conceptual paper that examines the application of adult learning theories to online information literacy tutorials. The application is supported by examples from the literature of libraries and higher education, and from the writers’ own experiences with designing online tutorials informed by adult learning theories. Findings – As online learners continue to be a growing population on our campuses, and as those online learners continue to be older than our traditional students, librarians must be prepared to design information literacy objects tailored to the unique learning styles of adults. Building from Knowles’ theory of andragogy, online tutorials that are informed by adult-centered strategies can be powerful tools for engaging with the adult online learner. Practical implications – This article gives a useful and comprehensive overview of adult learning theory as applied by education and library researchers. It also provides a specific example of how those theories can be implemented in online tutorials through the Information Literacy Toolkit the authors created. Originality/value – While there is literature on applying adult learning theory to library environments, little of it addresses how to do so in an asynchronous, self-paced tutorial. This is a contribution to the literature on asynchronous learning environments and suggests concrete ways to incorporate an adult-centered approach to digital learning objects.

Full textAbstract:
The argument that adults deserve to be treated differently in the teaching/learning milieu has been brought to the forefront by many researchers and adult educators, spearheaded by Malcolm Knowles’ notion of andragogy. Knowles asserted that adults require certain conditions to learn. Generally, literature has also supported the idea that teaching adults should be approached differently from that of adolescents. There are several adult education programs in the Lagos State of Nigeria. This study examined the level of awareness of, and factors that affect the use of andragogical principles in these programs; facilitators and learners’ perception of their roles in teaching/learning, as well as method used. Some 361 participants from six different Adult Education programs and 132 facilitators were used for the study. Interviews and Sit-in-observations, together with the questionnaire, were used to gather data. Chi-squared statistical analysis revealed that facilitators were mostly aware of, but did not make use of andragogical principles in helping adults to learn due to several factors. Suggestions made for improvement include that appropriate training for adult educators be encouraged, as well as expanded use of technology to facilitate adult learning towards national development.

AbstractThis article analyses the studies of adult learning in Africa, where they exist, often draw uncritically on Western theoretical and methodological frameworks such as andragogy, experiential learning, and transformative learning. These frameworks are informed by individualistic conceptions of learners and learning, shaped by industrial and postindustrial political economy, liberal democratic politics and consumerist culture. Such structures are then imposed on African ‘territories’ of learning, much like a colonial template for carving up the continent, for and under Western eyes. This article, based on a study conducted in a rural village in South Africa, challenges the appropriateness of these frameworks. It adopts an Afrocentric research paradigm which understands research as a collective and collaborative humanizing project which is contextually sensitive and culturally informed. The article presents four community learning places, defines the nature of learning in each place, and concludes that learning in the village is still informed by values of interdependence, interconnectedness, and spiritual values.

AbstractWith the rapid onset of an unprecedented lifestyle due to the new coronavirus COVID-19 the world academic scene was forced to reform and adapt to the novel circumstances. Although online education cannot be regarded as a groundbreaking endeavour anymore in the21st century, its current character of exclusivity calls for deeper understanding of, and a sharper focus on the “end-consumer” thereof as well as more cautious procedures to be exercised while teaching. While millennials are no longer thought of as being born with a silver spoon in their mouth but with an iPad or any sort of device in their hand (irrespective of their social status), adults are more hesitant when coerced to alter course unexpectedly and turn to new methods of attaining their learning goals. This is why proper communicative approaches need to be thoroughly considered by online instructors. This article aims at presenting teachers with a set of strategies to employ when the beneficiaries of online academic education are adult learners.

Full textAbstract:
The traditional principles of adult learning are being subject to critical reconsideration from new adult teaching approaches and a growing use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). ICTs in adult learning have an ambivalent effect. On the one hand, they offer potential improvement in online communicative activities and the transmission of codified or explicit knowledge. On the other hand, they can reduce socially and interactive-mediated tacit teaching and learning. Thus, the crucial criterion for effective and complementary use of ICTs in adult andragogy is whether they enable time and social space for the tacit dimension of teaching and learning. This article analyzes these issues by comparing how two young universities in Spain have dealt with these effects of ICTs in relation to the tacit dimension of learning and teaching.

Full textAbstract:
Coaches working with Masters Athletes (MAs) are tasked with facilitating learning and enhancing performance and quality of experience specifically for an adult cohort. In education, the Andragogy in Practice Model (APM) characterizes adult learners and provides teachers with principles for how to best facilitate learning (Knowles, Holton III, & Swanson, 2012). The purpose of the current study was to explore how coaches describe approaches with their MAs to discover how they align with andragogical principles. Eleven coaches were interviewed regarding their approaches in working with Masters swimmers. Data were thematically analyzed according to the six APM principles. The results revealed the bidirectional pattern of communication between the coaches and MAs, the coaches’ awareness of the athletes’ matured self-concept and prior experiences, the personalized goal oriented approach, the various approaches coaches used to motivate, and strategies that the coaches used to prepare MAs for training. The findings suggest that coaches who reported approaches in keeping with andragogical principles more effectively accommodated their MAs’ interests. When their approaches countered the principles, there appeared to be a disconnect between the coaches’ approaches and the MAs’ preferences. Together, these results provide evidence of the importance of coaches’ understanding of adult learning principles when coaching MAs.

The theory has a dialogue with three perspectives: andragogy, sociometry and neuroscience. The community power learning process builds a close connection with Morenian approaches of using sociometry, peer support and spontaneity and creativity in a group learning process. Spontaneity and creativity are seen as an essential part of adult group learning. Four main categories were found: participation, communality, creativity, and tutoring. The core category was identified as the community power learning process. This study has been carried out using grounded theory research methodology.

ABSTRACT: Adult learning, or andragogy, provides a novel way of appreciating using food analogies as an effective learning tool in veterinary pathology. Facilitation of adult learning requires that new concepts be presented in a way that draws on the learner’s experience. Because veterinary students will have had considerable experience with a plethora of food items prior to enrolling in a pathology course, food analogies can provide an easy conduit for incorporating key learning concepts regarding veterinary pathology. In this paper, many of these analogies are presented, along with the mechanisms responsible for each of the characteristic lesions, in the hopes that their usefulness in the classroom can be highlighted to create a more engaging and facilitated learning environment.

The de-ideologisation of Czech higher education was accompanied by many other changes after 1990 in the Czech Republic. In the context of local and global educational policy, this paper presents three periods of development of the educational sciences including andragogy in Czech higher education after 1990, showing how changes influenced university teaching quality. In the research part, the study concentrates on changes made by the actors – notably professors/associate professors – involved in the development of the educational sciences in the Czech Republic since the 1990s. The analysis of the semi-structured interviews shows that the change in educational sciences was framed by limited access to foreign literature and significant personnel changes, including the return of qualified academics. The promotion of andragogy in the Czech Republic demanded the development of methodology and a critical approach to adult learning. For individual academics, the new focus privileged research over teaching, though interaction with students remains central for the interviewees.

The general aim of this study is to find out the views of academic staff working at universities on lifelong learning and adult education. While finding out the views of academic staff, the 6 principles of Andragogy Approach, which includes the characteristics of adults about learning, were taken as basis and the professional or personal development trainings academic staff received were analysed separately within the framework of these principles. Interview technique, one of the most frequently used in qualitative research methods, was used in the study. Interviews were made with a total of 20 academic staff who had received training within the scope of adult education and lifelong learning. The interviews were recorded with a voice recorder and transcribed. The transcribed data were evaluated with descriptive analysis method and then they were coded. Interpretations were made by using the codes. As a result, it was found that the academic staff in general had received education on lifelong learning and adult education voluntarily and it was concluded that they received these trainings for professional or personal development, to increase their quality of life, to gain experience, to advance academically and for similar reasons.

Full textAbstract:
This literature review explored areas that are often manifest in adult classrooms but insufficiently addressed or overlooked in preservice training and in-service professional development for educators of adults. Three overarching themes emerged: (a) educational background considerations (e.g., significant interruptions in formal education), (b) disability considerations (e.g., learning disabilities and students on the autism spectrum), and (c) status considerations (e.g., domestic violence and mental health issues). This overview of the identified themes was contextualized within andragogy, which posits ways that adults learn differently from children. Recommendations to enhance instructional approaches were interwoven throughout the review. Following the overview and instructional recommendations, preliminary assertions for strengthening preservice training and ongoing professional development for educators of adults and areas for future research were advanced.
