I don't see any connection between the idea of Androgogy and the pseudoscience
of learning styles. Androgogy is simply a set of suggested teaching methods
for adults who most likely are in a different stage of life and are probably
approaching their experience as a student with a different set of expectations,
goals and capabilities than are college age and younger learners.
Adults have less time to waste than younger folks due to family and work
obligations and most are more able to work independently than your typical
college student. Taking this into account when the teacher sets up her course
seems like a good thing. I don't see more to it than that.
