Knowles' Principles of Andragogy

Knowles' Principles of Andragogy focus on how adults learn best. He identifies key principles: adults need to understand why they’re learning something, bring life experiences to the learning process, prefer self-directed learning, are motivated by internal factors, and need practical, relevant content. Additionally, adults benefit from cooperative learning and require respect and recognition in the learning environment. Understanding these principles can enhance educational approaches, making them more effective for adult learners by acknowledging their experiences, needs, and motivations.
