ANDRAGOGY: CONSIDERATIONS AND THE CHALLENGE OF TEACHING ADULTS

Abstract

This article aims to present Andragogy as an educational approach aimed at teaching adults, considering the particularities of the teaching-learning process for this age group, demanding a different treatment in relation to the pedagogical method used in the early stages and in adolescence. The andragogical model considers life experiences brought by the adult student to be important, as these aim to promote new forms of learning, adding knowledge that can be shared among all. Through a bibliographic study, carried out in books, scientific articles and other publications in the area, this research will show that adults learn better when they incorporate practical classes on the theory studied into the teaching method, allowing the content to be inserted in their practice. day by day, since the experiences of these students are important pieces of knowledge that can be shared by everyone in the classroom. The biggest challenge in adult education is to allow teachers to use Andragogy techniques, as well as new technologies that tend to bring motivation to classes, as well as conditions for access to more knowledge.
