Integrating Andragogical Principles to Increase Motivation in the Adult Learner

• In Event: CLT - Andragogy, Learning, and Technology

Short Description

Andragogy proposes that adult learners differ from juvenile learners in numerous ways including social experiences and physiological brain development. It is a commonly held belief of human development that individuals become more self-motivated as they become lifelong learners. This presentation illustrates the natural relationship between andragogy and instructional design motivation theory. The researchers will also provide examples of the combined impact of andragogy and instructional motivation theory on adult learning outcomes.
