[edit] Temp page made

I'm not the original author, but I stumbled across this while surfing the Wikipedia. I've made a temp page because I think this would be a useful thing for the Wikipedia to have in it. Jimhutchins 13:04, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Andragogy and Motivation

Andragogy also covers motivational aspects of the adult learner.

This will need to be further elaborated with content and references. In particular, andragogy indicates that Adult learners are not motivated the same way as young learners. In particular they want that what they learn is related to their experience. Nabeth (talk) 12:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Needs fleshing out

Andragogy is a complex issue. Should add the work of Karen Kitchener (Kitchener, King, & DeLuca), which tends to support and expand upon both Knowles and Piaget. See Merriam & Cafferella 3rd ed. for capsule discussion of critics of Knowles' andragogy. One claim is that andragogy itself is not a theory. However, critics have not been able to say what andragogy *is* if it is *not* a theory. Moreover, the word "theory" desperately needs disambiguation when it comes to this topic. 24.99.207.164 (talk) 23:15, 30 March 2008 (UTC) kc64
