Adult Learners Adult Learning Adults develop their learning processes in a number of ways: Lasts the entire life span of each individual Allows an individual to acquire, renew, upgrade, or complete knowledge, skills, and attitudes for functioning effectively in a constantly changing society Allows adults to pursue learning throughout their lives, and is a way in which people supplement (and, at times, find a substitute for) learning received in formal settings Equips individuals with skills and competencies for completing their "self- education" beyond learning in a formal setting Acknowledges the contribution of all available educational influences, including formal and informal. PCC Community Education Center Faculty Development Workshop

Adult Learners Educational Models of Adult Learning There is a distinct connection between the historical development of educational models, including the evolution from the pedagogical model to the andragogical model. Pedagogy means literally "the art of teaching children." It developed between the 7th and 12th centuries in the monastic schools of Europe. Secular schools in the 19th century followed the pedagogical model, which was the only one available. The basic assumption of the pedagogical model is that the teacher is fully responsible for imparting knowledge, primarily through lecture, while the student's role is that of a passive receiver of knowledge. PCC Community Education Center Faculty Development Workshop

Adult Learners Educational Models of Adult Learning Recent educational theorists (mostly Malcolm Knowles) have developed an andragogical model based on the following assumptions: a) Adults need to know why they are learning; b) Adults need to be seen as competent; c) Adults want their knowledge and skills acknowledged in the classroom; d) Adults need to be self-directed and experientially involved in their learning; and e) Adults want learning to be life-centered and applicable We should base our model based on andragogical assumptions. Facilitation methods allow students to be active and self-directed in their learning. PCC Community Education Center Faculty Development Workshop
