Abstract

Educators have been criticized for limited resources in building capacity for continued growth through reflective learning. A large number of educational institutions concentrate on acquiring formal knowledge of the subject matter excessively, with theory being overstated and the practical realities of the classroom not being effectively addressed. There are a number of factors to increase student engagement in the classroom. It is also important to organize the environment in which adult learners learn eagerly. Two commonly used methodologies are pedagogy and andragogy. This chapter investigates the different methodologies found to be most effective with adult learners. This will enhance the field of education and course methodology and its influences on all aspects of modern educational institutions and society in general.
