Interview with Professor X
Unit 3 Blog
Thea Leonard
HE521: Teaching Adult Learners
Prof. Margaret Heater
December 30, 2013
Educational setting
• Large, on-line university
• Small, on-ground liberal arts college
Program description
On-line university:
• Asynchronous classroom
• Psychology associate’s
degree program

On-ground college:
• Night courses
• Accelerated adult degree
completion
• Human development
bachelor’s degree program
Why did you become an instructor?
• Intended to go into teaching, but followed path of
counseling into private practice instead
• Obtained Master’s degree, opening doors into
teaching as well
• Teaching lets Professor X keep up to date on latest
theories and research
• Counseling practice provides good application
examples to use in classes
Teaching adults (andragogy)
• Both programs Professor X teaches are primarily
older adult learners returning to school after many
years
• Occasionally students are right out of high school
• Once taught a “regular semester class” but did not
enjoy the classroom full of younger students
Best parts of your job?
• Hearing student’s thoughts
• Watching students have insightful moments
• Being asked questions Professor X has to look up
new answers for
• Sharing knowledge of humans’ amazing capabilities
• Hearing how learning is helping students in real life
Worst parts of your job?
Pay doesn’t match the hours and personal investment
Biggest challenges?
• Grading: tedious and time consuming
• Student excuses: takes the fun out of teaching
• Student entitlement: E.g., “I paid for this class so
you can’t give me a failing grade”
• Program requirements: Restrictive or limiting
syllabus or course requirements
Learning moments?
• “I learn every time I teach”
• From research
• From students
Describe effective teaching of adults
• Set firm and reasonable boundaries and clear
expectations
• Personal responsibility to meet or not meet
expectations
• Adults have many priorities
• Keep learning tangible and applicable to real-life
• No busy work
Advice for new teachers of adults?
The instructor is a person of authority, not a peer.

Ask a lot of questions:
• Why do you want to teach?
• Why is teaching important to you?
• What feels meaningful about teaching?
• What do you think will be most fun?
• What do you think will be most challenging?
Summary
Professor X is clearly passionate about teaching.
However, many of her responses about being “in
charge” seemed very teacher-centered or pedagogical
in nature. That written, Professor X clearly noted adult
learners bring valuable life experiences to class and
have many roles and responsibilities (andragogy) as
compared to younger students. Professor X made no
mention of the concepts of heutagogy (self-directed
learning).

Leonard Unit 3 Blog

  • 1. Interview with Professor X Unit 3 Blog Thea Leonard HE521: Teaching Adult Learners Prof. Margaret Heater December 30, 2013
  • 2. Educational setting • Large, on-line university • Small, on-ground liberal arts college
  • 3. Program description On-line university: • Asynchronous classroom • Psychology associate’s degree program On-ground college: • Night courses • Accelerated adult degree completion • Human development bachelor’s degree program
  • 4. Why did you become an instructor? • Intended to go into teaching, but followed path of counseling into private practice instead • Obtained Master’s degree, opening doors into teaching as well • Teaching lets Professor X keep up to date on latest theories and research • Counseling practice provides good application examples to use in classes
  • 5. Teaching adults (andragogy) • Both programs Professor X teaches are primarily older adult learners returning to school after many years • Occasionally students are right out of high school • Once taught a “regular semester class” but did not enjoy the classroom full of younger students
  • 6. Best parts of your job? • Hearing student’s thoughts • Watching students have insightful moments • Being asked questions Professor X has to look up new answers for • Sharing knowledge of humans’ amazing capabilities • Hearing how learning is helping students in real life
  • 7. Worst parts of your job? Pay doesn’t match the hours and personal investment
  • 8. Biggest challenges? • Grading: tedious and time consuming • Student excuses: takes the fun out of teaching • Student entitlement: E.g., “I paid for this class so you can’t give me a failing grade” • Program requirements: Restrictive or limiting syllabus or course requirements
  • 9. Learning moments? • “I learn every time I teach” • From research • From students
  • 10. Describe effective teaching of adults • Set firm and reasonable boundaries and clear expectations • Personal responsibility to meet or not meet expectations • Adults have many priorities • Keep learning tangible and applicable to real-life • No busy work
  • 11. Advice for new teachers of adults? The instructor is a person of authority, not a peer. Ask a lot of questions: • Why do you want to teach? • Why is teaching important to you? • What feels meaningful about teaching? • What do you think will be most fun? • What do you think will be most challenging?
  • 12. Summary Professor X is clearly passionate about teaching. However, many of her responses about being “in charge” seemed very teacher-centered or pedagogical in nature. That written, Professor X clearly noted adult learners bring valuable life experiences to class and have many roles and responsibilities (andragogy) as compared to younger students. Professor X made no mention of the concepts of heutagogy (self-directed learning).
