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, and encourages practical, real-world applications of knowledge. Key principles of andragogy include the importance of life experiences, readiness to learn, and motivation. Adults are more likely to engage in learning when they see its relevance to their personal or professional lives. This approach fosters a collaborative learning environment, allowing adults to share insights and learn from one another.
