Andragogy is the art and science of helping adults learn. Unlike traditional education, which often focuses on children, andragogy recognizes that adults have different learning needs and experiences. It emphasizes self-directed learning, where adults take responsibility for their education, drawing on their life experiences to enhance understanding. Key principles of andragogy include the importance of motivation, the relevance of learning to real-life situations, and the need for a collaborative learning environment. This approach encourages adults to engage actively in the learning process, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential in both personal and professional contexts.
