Andragogy is the theory and practice of education of adults. The word is a combination of andro (from , ''anēr'', genitive , ''andros'', "man") and (''ágō''), meaning "to lead", it arose from the practice of pedagogy to address the specific needs in the education of adults as opposed to the education of children. ==Definitions== Two primary understandings of ‘andragogy’ currently exist: # The science of understanding (= theory) and supporting (= practice) lifelong and life-wide education of adults. # In the tradition of Malcolm Knowles, a specific theoretical and practical approach, based on a humanistic conception of self-directed and autonomous learners and teachers as facilitators of learning. Interpreted broadly throughout the academic literature, the term also invites such definitions as ‘adult education practice,’ ‘desirable values,’ ‘specific teaching methods,’ ‘reflections,’ and ‘academic discipline,' with many authors claiming it to be better than traditional adult education. The term has been used by some to allow discussion of contrast between self-directed and 'taught' education.〔(Hansman (2008) ) Adult Learning in Communities of Practice: Situating Theory in Practice〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「andragogy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
