Thesis Abstract

This project aims to explore the key differences between andragogy and pedagogy - the approaches to teaching adults and children respectively. It will discuss the underlying assumptions and principles of andragogy as proposed by Malcolm Knowles, focusing on adult learners being self-directed, drawing from their experience, and being problem-centered in their orientation to learning. The principles of pedagogy will also be examined in the context of educating children. The paper will analyze how these differences influence teaching methodologies, learning environments, curriculum design and learner-teacher relationships when working with adult learners versus children. Case studies and examples will be used to illustrate how these theoretical frameworks translate to practice. The findings of the project hope to provide useful insights for educators on tailoring their instruction based on the age and experience of their learners.
