A THEORY OF ADULT
LEARNING: ANDRAGOGY
Presented By:
Jossa Mae Liu
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Explain Knowles’ Five Assumptions and the Principles of
Andragogy in adult learning.
Appreciate the importance of the assumptions and
principles in creating effective learning experiences for
adults.
Evaluate the impact of learner-centered approaches on
motivation, engagement, and emotional growth in adult
learners.
Knowles’ Assumption
1. Self-Concept

2. Past Learning Experience

3. Readiness to Learn

4. Practical Reasons to Learn

5. Motivation to Learn
SELF-CONCEPT
As we grow older, we shift from being

dependent to being more independent.

Therefore, how we prefer to learn

changes from being instructor-led to a

more self-directed approach.


PAST LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Adults have lots of experience from

which they draw knowledge and

references. We can take from these

experiences and learn from them.


READINESS TO LEARN
Adults want or are ready to learn when

there is a reason, such as when it’s

directed towards growth and

development related to their work.


PRACTICAL REASONS TO LEARN
As adults, we want what we are learning to be

applicable to our everyday lives, instead of

being general learning about a subject. We

want to learn practical skills that help us solve

problems and work better.


MOTIVATION TO LEARN
As children, we learn because of external

factors, like parents and teachers. However,

as adults we want to learn for our own

reasons, for example, to progress in work or

to boost self-esteem.
PRINCIPLES OF ADULT
LEARNING THEORY
Need to Know

Adults need to understand the purpose

and relevance of what they are learning

before they engage.


Self-Directed Learning

When it comes to learning, adults want or

need to be involved in how their training is

planned, delivered, and executed. They want

to control what, when, and how they learn.


Leveraging of Experience

Adults gain more when they can pull past

experiences into the learning process. They

can draw on what they previously know to

add greater context to their learning.


Readiness to Learn

Adults are more engaged when learning is

connected to their current life situations,

roles, or professional needs.


Problem-Solving Approach

Memorizing facts and information isn’t the

right way for adults to learn. They need to

solve problems and use reasoning to best

take in the information they are being

presented with.
Intrinsic Motivation

Adults are primarily motivated by

personal growth, self-fulfillment, and the

practical benefits of learning.


Adults learn best when learning is relevant, self-
directed, and experience-based. Therefore,
educators & trainers should create engaging,
problem-solving learning experiences.
