Re: [tips] Andragogical Education anyone?

2011-09-20 Thread Michael Britt
I agree with you completely Robert - there is no evidence for learning styles 
(in fact, I interviewed Dr. Willingham - researcher/debunker of learning styles 
- on my podcast about this very thing) I was just wondering whether the 
concepts of learning styles and androgogy are two apples, or an apple and an 
orange.

Sorry, Mike, but I think that your definition "a set of suggested teaching 
methods for adults who most likely are in a different stage of life and are 
probably approaching their experience as a student with a different set of 
expectations, goals and capabilities" is exactly what the belief in different

Re: [tips] Andragogical Education anyone?

2011-09-19 Thread Jim Clark
Hi Michael

I think Robert's point was that Andragogical principles were perhaps as lacking 
in empirical evidence as learning styles ... not that they are equivalent or 
related in any other way.  

You mention some of the assumptions made about "older" learners.  Ignoring for 
a moment the definition of older, is there evidence for these assumptions?  Or 
are they simply based on common sense and intuition?   

Thinking about the "less time" assumption, for example, would it be true of 
retired people?  And what about younger people who may work long hours outside 
of school?  Or students who take a full or more course load, rather than a 
single course?

One of the principles you do not mention, but I read somewhere was that 
andragogical teaching would be more a negotiation and collaboration between 
teachers and learners, as more mature learners would be better able to 
contribute to deciding what they need to learn.  When I think of teaching 
something like statistics, I don't see the validity to this assumption.  And I 
wonder about other substantive courses as well ... how are learners suppose to 
know what they need to know about subjects that they haven't already learned 
about?  Seems somewhat paradoxical to me.

And to again draw an analogy to the learning styles literature, is there 
evidence that adapting one's teaching along the lines of adragogical principles 
is in fact more effective for mature learners (and not for younger learners)?  
Isn't one criticism of the learning styles literature that such studies tend to 
NOT support the idea of "different strokes for different folks"?

Take care
Jim

of learning styles.  Androgogy is simply a set of suggested teaching methods 
for adults who most likely are in a different stage of life and are probably

Tipsters,
   Because I am currently enrolled in a tutor certification course through the 
National Tutoring Association, I had the opportunity to learn more about the 
andragogical approach (like Jim I was not aware of this distinction either).
   Andragogy is distinguished from pedagogy with the former emphasizing the 
role of teacher as tutor, coach, or guide. Whereas the teacher is more in 
control of learning objectives, class structure in a pedagogical model, the 
andragogical teacher / tutor works as an equal partner where learning goals are 
mutually determined and negotiated, teaching methods individualized according 
to the needs of the learner (idiosyncratic), with problem solving and Socratic 
questioning as dominant approaches to material delivery. Not surprisingly, 
tutoring takes the andragogical approach, but it is used with all ages and not 
limited to adult education.
  Andragogical goals include developing an increased understanding of the 
material (common to all instruction), become a self-directed / independent

Re: [tips] Andragogical Education anyone?

2011-09-19 Thread Rene Verry
Tipsters,
   Because I am currently enrolled in a tutor certification course through the 
National Tutoring Association, I had the opportunity to learn more about the 
andragogical approach (like Jim I was not aware of this distinction either). 
   Andragogy is distinguished from pedagogy with the former emphasizing the 
role of teacher as tutor, coach, or guide. Whereas the teacher is more in 
control of learning objectives, class structure in a pedagogical model, the 
andragogical teacher / tutor works as an equal partner where learning goals are 
mutually determined and negotiated, teaching methods individualized according 
to the needs of the learner (idiosyncratic), with problem solving and Socratic 
questioning as dominant approaches to material delivery. Not surprisingly, 
tutoring takes the andragogical approach, but it is used with all ages and not 
limited to adult education. 
  Andragogical goals include developing an increased understanding of the 
material (common to all instruction), become a self-directed / independent 
learner (present in many pedagogies), through individualized 1:1 or 1:few 
interaction (usually limited by class size, time constraints, curriculum 
requirements, etc.).
Hope this helps... rene
