Blending Andragogy and Pedagogy for Adult Learners explores how educators can bridge the gap between traditional pedagogy and andragogy (the science of adult learning).
This book demonstrates how andragogy, with its focus on learner autonomy and practical application, can not only enhance student engagement but also cultivate the problem-solving and analytical skills essential for success in today's dynamic job market. Using key research combined with practical applications, it highlights the potential benefits of andragogy for enhancing student motivation and learning outcomes. Providing key adaptable strategies for instructors to integrate andragogical principles into their teaching repertoire, it advocates for a balanced approach that leverages the strengths of both pedagogy and andragogy to create a more effective and learner-centred educational environment.
Ideal reading for all those teaching in higher education, crucially, this book doesn't advocate for abandoning pedagogy altogether. Instead, it proposes a balanced approach, providing practical strategies and frameworks for instructors to effectively blend pedagogical and andragogical methods.
