Differences of Andragogy and Pedagogy

The Significance on Adult Education
Knowing the differences between andragogy and pedagogy is significant on adult education. It is significant because adults learn different than children. If an instructional coach is not well-informed, they are essentially wasting both parties’ time. Adult learners want to retain information that will be beneficial to them and that it is fast. If taught the way children learn, adults are going to find presentations or trainings too long and unnecessary at their level of expertise.
