Bridging New Technology with Andragogy: Adult Learners in Aviation...? Bridging New Technology with Andragogy: Adult Learners in Aviation After the first flight made by the Wright brothers in 1903, landing facilities were constructed to service the growing need for air travel. This need was bolstered during World War I for the base, repair and refueling of warplanes, and the mail route after the war. Laws were earlier passed to promote air transport and later to regulate the commercialized industry. Safety must be maintained despite the ground traffic and movement increase in the airports. Existing literature revealed that runway incursions, as well as injuries, and ramp accidents and incidents continually occur. These occurrences can be attributed to training deficiency, human error or violation... Bridging...

Andragogy and Pedagogy...In Pedagogy, the concern is with transmitting the content, while in Andragogy, the concern is with facilitating the acquisition of the contents. The learning processes of pedagogy and andragogy approaches differ, even though both aim for acquisition of learning. This is the predominant thinking today although subject to some debate. The topic is too complex to discuss. Thus, a scrutiny of the presentation of each as well as the nature of each learner involved is necessary. From these, the concern for transmission and acquisition of learning in them will be explained. This paper concludes that both are part of a single process, taking much cue from contemporary literature.

Critical Evaluation of Andragogy against Other Learning Theories in Relation to Adult...Critical Evaluation of Andragogy against Other Learning Theories in Relation to Adult Learning January 7,
There have been numerous theories about adult learning by scholars including the Behaviourist, Humanist, Cognitivist, but the one to gain most prominence in recent years is Androgogy for its individual-centred propositions encompassing new dimensions of human learning which, they offer, is affected mostly by one's cultural experiences, individual achievement and life changes.
In the early 20th century, the Behaviourist school of thought played a central role in explaining human learning by mainly focusing their attention on overt behaviours that can be observed objectively and measured as indicators of...

Increasing or restricting Andragogy...Increasing or restricting Andragogy An Overview of Adult Education in the Twentieth Century The first problem that we may encounter in understandingand analyzing the development of adult education in the twentieth century is the problem of definition. There have been so many diverse definitions proposed by leading educationists and philosophers in the twentieth century in relation to adult or continuous education, that it is extremely important to isolate the sense in which the term 'adult education' will be applied in this study. This problem of definition is two-pronged. First, there is the problem within the nomenclature itself, problematized by both the terms 'adult' and 'education' that constitute it. Secondly, there...

Increasing or Restricting Andragogy..., different terms like ‘continuous education’ and ‘andragogy’. What really adds to our problem in this respect is the fact that we have to approach this problem at a time when an unprecedented complexity within the social formation itself has rendered educational institutes and education, both in definition and practice, complex. Therefore, we have to take into account both the objective semantics of the term as well as try and locate it within a specific twentieth century educational context.
Definition of Adult Education
The term ‘adult education’ is a comparatively new one, coined much after it was actually in practice. It is a result of many years of evolutions, and its meaning, even now is far from simple and...

Andragogy...Andragogy Andragogy The learning process needs to be centered on the learner. The learners, on the other hand, need toassume the primary role of the learning process through a self-directed process. In the thought of Knowles, Holton & Swanson (2005), adult learners can become self-directed in the event that they are provided with the appropriate facilities, experiences, resources and are encouraged to learn. In the case of the adult learners, Merriam, Caffarella & Baumgartner (2007) indicate that the educators have no alternative, but to use resources that will help the adult learners master the concepts taught in class. Through andragogy, Knowles, Holton & Swanson (2005) indicate that...
