Abstract

This study is aimed to analyze the application of the theories of Andragogy at applied science universities and at the professional institutions. To achieve this goal, No. 5 Center of the university was applied to investigate as a case study and the teachers and professors of this university participated in the research this research was carried out through a descriptive method, and the students of this academic center were used for sample. For this study, 40 teachers and 40 students were randomly selected and responded to the questionnaire of Adult Learning theories formulated previously by Conti (1998). For analysis of the data, t single sample and two sample t tests were applied. The results showed that the application of these theories is not at the appropriate level and is lower than average level. Also, there is significant differences (significance level of 5%) between professors and students' viewpoints regarding the application of the theories of Andragogy such that checking the students’ perspectives reveal the application of these theories to a level well below that of the teachers’ perspectives.
