Andragogy and Pedagogy as Foundational Theory for Student Motivation in Higher Education

Abstract

I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn." -Albert Einstein Difficulty arises when pedagogical methods and practices are applied in whole or in part to situations that require andragogical dynamics. A misunderstanding or misapplication of these critical issues may result in situational, temporary, or unsustainable models of motivation that guide lifelong learners and perhaps undermine the entire process of student motivation.
