Knowles' Theory, also known as Andragogy, focuses on the principles of adult learning. Developed by Malcolm Knowles, it emphasizes that adults learn differently than children. Key aspects include the need for self-direction, the importance of life experiences, and the motivation to learn for personal or professional growth. In this theory, Knowles identifies several assumptions about adult learners. Adults are more likely to engage in learning when they see its relevance to their lives. They prefer to take responsibility for their learning and benefit from collaborative, problem-solving approaches that relate to real-world situations.
