The Five Tenets of Andragogy Adults have a deep psychological need to be self-directing. Adult learners have an experience base which is a rich resource for learning. Adults want to learn what they need to know to fulfill their roles and responsibilities. Adults prefer problem-centered learning vs. subject-centered. Adults are more motivated to learn by internal factors than external.
Implications of Andragogy for HRD Find out what life events employees are coping with. Developmental activities should be contextual and just-in-time. Workplace learning should be participative. Learning environment, both physical and psychological, is critical.
Cross (“Adults as Learners”) Suggests: Presenting new information only if it’s meaningful and practical (contextual) Allowing mastery. Presenting concepts one at a time to allow integration with existing knowledge. Giving feedback and frequently summarizing to aid transfer.
Who should be a Learning Facilitator? Someone who wants to facilitate learning (career motivation) ?
