26. Andragogy
The Art & Science of helping
people to Learn
Assumes the Student’s
ability, need and desire to
take control and
responsibility of their
Learning. Assumes a move
to an independent Learning
environment with Students
building on their
experiences. Learning time
changes from ‘postponed’
to ‘immediate’ and
curricula changes from
‘Subject-Centric’ to
‘Performance-Centric.
PEDAGOGY
Pedagogy
The Art & Science of Teaching
Most dominant form of
instruction in Western
Europe & North America
based on the Monastic
approaches to Learning.
Teacher is in control of the
Learning process and puts
student in a submissive role
within the Learning
environment. Equally
applied to Children & Adults
and based on the
assumption that Learner
need only know what the
Teacher teaches them.

44. What learners want?
I want a LEARNING ENVIRONMENT that provides me with the
equivalent tools and services as my social environment. One that:
supports my media-rich creativity and expression,
encourages me to collaborate with others and work as a team,
adapts to my individual learning style and needs,
and that accommodates my mobile lifestyle.
