ANGRAGOGY AND PEDAGOGY

Abstract

Adult education is a practice in which adults engage in systematic and sustained self–educating activities in order to gain new forms of knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values (Merriam, Sharan, B. & Brockett, Ralph, 2007, p. 7). The paper reveals the differences between pedagogy and andragogy. The science and art of helping adults learn, the practice of adult education is referred to as andragogy, to distinguish it from the traditional school-based education for children pedagogy. Unlike children, adults are seen as more self-directed, rather than relying on others for help.
