Abstract (AI)
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.
Key Findings
1
Applying pedagogical methods to contexts requiring andragogical dynamics can create difficulties in higher education.
2
Foundational distinctions between pedagogy and andragogy are important for supporting lifelong learners and sustaining motivation.
3
Ineffective alignment between teaching approaches and learner needs may undermine the broader process of student motivation.
4
Misunderstanding or misapplying pedagogy and andragogy may produce temporary, situational, or unsustainable student-motivation models.
