PAGE 2 New program, new methods introduced with Andragogy
Walk into a class in Andragogy, and you just might sense that some thing different is going on. There won’t be any of the traditional ar rangement or rows with a professor holding his traditional position in the front. Instead of the “classroom” atmosphere, what exists is a "learn ing com m unity” in which students take responsibility for their own learn ing, and learn from each other. This is Andragogy, the teaching of adults, as opposed to Pedagogy, the teaching of children. The new degre program in Andragogy offered by Loyola’s Evening Division has been developed to meet the expressei needs of adult educators in all fields. Doug Potvin, Director of the Evening Division, maintains that "as the number of adults seeking new educa tional experiences continues to ex pand, the difference between adult learners and younger learners becomes increasingly more dis cernible, and the need for adult educators becomes more apparent. The Degree Program in Andragogy has been designed to meet this need” . Dick Arima, who teaches An dragogy 301, Introduction of Adult and Continuing Education, points out that the set of principles is not new, that is was used by Socrates, Plato, Doug Potvin involved in discussion group of adult educators in Andragogy course.
