Abstract

Pedagogy can be a highly effective approach to teaching and learning for children and young learners. The key principles of pedagogy, such as teacher-directed learning, scaffolding, and active learning, are well-suited to the developmental needs and interests of young learners. Andragogy, on the other hand, is the study of teaching adults, and it focuses on the learner as the primary source of knowledge and information. In andragogy, the learner takes responsibility for their own learning, setting their own goals and objectives, and choosing their own learning activities. This approach assumes that adults are self-directed learners, and that their life experiences are a valuable resource for learning.
