ABSTRACT
From time in memorial,
learning as a construct has been a significant and fundamental part of human
growth, and development. But understanding and harmonizing the context of
learning in childhood and adulthood can present a complex scenario. This paper
reviewes three theories of childhood learning vs. adulthood learning and compare them to the theory of pedagogy
and andragogy in education. It finds using reflective discourse and document
analysis, that while there are distinction in pedagogy and andragogy, in the
same vain; both concepts can also connect and overlap in learning circumstances
and practical applications in education. This is important in understanding the
modern child and adult learner.
