Tipsters,
Because I am currently enrolled in a tutor certification course through the
National Tutoring Association, I had the opportunity to learn more about the
andragogical approach (like Jim I was not aware of this distinction either).
Andragogy is distinguished from pedagogy with the former emphasizing the
role of teacher as tutor, coach, or guide. Whereas the teacher is more in
control of learning objectives, class structure in a pedagogical model, the
andragogical teacher / tutor works as an equal partner where learning goals are
mutually determined and negotiated, teaching methods individualized according
to the needs of the learner (idiosyncratic), with problem solving and Socratic
questioning as dominant approaches to material delivery. Not surprisingly,
tutoring takes the andragogical approach, but it is used with all ages and not
limited to adult education.
Andragogical goals include developing an increased understanding of the
material (common to all instruction), become a self-directed / independent
learner (present in many pedagogies), through individualized 1:1 or 1:few
interaction (usually limited by class size, time constraints, curriculum
requirements, etc.).
Hope this helps... rene
