Carla A. Downing, Ph.D, Vice President of Product Development and Academic Support, discusses pedagogy and andragogy at the 16th Annual Sloan-C International Conference on Online Learning in November, 2010 in her presentation "The Importance of Pedagogy and Andragogy."
Dr. Downing compares and contrasts pedagogy and andragogy, discusses how needs for structure and autonomy differ between the two and how life's experiences are incorporated into learning. She also discusses how "true learning" can be facilitated and how students can be taught how to "connect the dots" when pedagogical and andragogical practices are successfully incorporated along with adequate time for students to reflect.
