And what??!! Exactly what I thought! Andragogy, pronounced Andra-go-gee, is basically all about teaching adults. It's not as confusing as it seems. Andragogy is all about how adults learn which is VERY different from children. As adults we need to know the what and why right off the bat! "Why do I need to know this?" "How is this going to benefit me?" When teaching adults, the presenter must answer these questions quickly so the audience doesn't "check out" before getting the point across.
I had a great opportunity to hear Dr. Moore from North Gaston High School share her knowledge on this theory. I was so engaged and could follow her very well. The entire room was honed in on what she had to say. It was evident she had androgogy down pat!
