Our
training is based on years of experience training in private, corporate,
and government sectors and the application of the latest theories in Adult
Learning. This page contains links reflecting the various Learning Theories
that have been incorporated into our training approaches.
The selected references for Learning have a significant bias towards the
current revisions of the concepts originally advanced
and promoted by Malcolm Knowles
in his 1973 book The
Adult Learner: A Neglected Species. Knowles referred to his concepts on
learning as Andragogy (and-rè-go´jê) or the "the art and science of helping adults
learn". Since then debates regarding
the differences (or lack of differences) between Adult and Child learning
have raged and "the term has taken on a broader meaning since Knowles'
first edition. The term currently defines an alternative to pedagogy and refers
to learner-focused education for people of all ages." (LearnActivity.com: An
Introduction to Andragogy) This Andragogical bias exists
in our training because much of what Knowles' presents has been validated
in my own training experiences over the years, working with students of all
ages and capabilities.
