UNDERSTANDING ANDRAGOGY

Train the Trainer program-MIDAS


2/26

Objectives of the TTT programAfter assimilating this TTT,the trainers will be

able to

Understand the dimension of science behind

training.Relate better to the diverse needs of different

trainees.

Innovate ways to educate people.TAKE LEARNING TO THE NEXT LEVEL.


3/26

The broad goal of the trainer

is to meet the needs of trainees with diverse learning styles and

preferences.

to have an eye on the pragmatic aspect of learning and transferability

of the learning

and

creating a synergy between the two.

But how?

Why to discuss Andragogy?

Andragogy is an answer to this HOW?


4/26

What is pedagogy/andragogy?

the study of being a teacher or the process of

teaching. The term generally refers to strategies of

instruction, or a style of instruction

Generally associated with child learning.

When the focus is on adult learning the term

which comes in to play is Andragogy.


5/26

Andragogy consists of learning strategies focused on adults.

It is often interpreted as the process of engaging adult learners

with the structure of learning experience.

Five assumptions related to motivation of adult learning:

1. Need to Know: Adults need to know the reason for learningsomething.


6/26

2. Foundation: Experience (including error) provides the basis forlearning activities.

3. Self-concept: Adults need to be responsible for their decisions on

education; involvement in the planning and evaluation of theirinstruction


7/26

4. Readiness: Adults are most interested in learning subjects having

immediate relevance to their work and/or personal lives

5. Orientation: Adult learning is problem vs. solution-centered rather than

content-oriented.

What is MIDAS??

MIDAS is one more tool by which lends a trainer an insight to

andragogical aspect of functioning i.e. it helps in understanding the

assimilation patterns of a participant.

It stands for Multiple intelligence developmental assessment scales.

MIDAS provides pathways into and out of our participants brains.

It challenges conventional ways of teaching like

lectures.


11/26

Defining intelligence..

Gardner refers to the intelligences as ways of knowing andunderstanding yourself and the world around you.

"the ability to solve problems, or to create products, thatare valued within one or more cultural settings".

He explains that he was seeking to undermine the commonnotion of intelligences as a general capacity or potentialwhich every human being possessed to a greater or lesserextent.


12/26

The use of the wordMultiple

in MIDAS

MIDAS is based on the premise that our intelligence hasmultiple layers..

Gardner states that the ways in which intelligences combine

and blend are as varied as the faces and personalities ofindividuals.

Genetics influences this development, but a nurturing,positive, and stimulating learning environment is also

important.Intelligence is changeable not stagnant.


13/26

Respecting different dimensions of intelligence

Studies show that many individuals who dont absorbconventional learning, are turned on to learning when

classroom experiences incorporate artistic, athletic, and

musical activities.

Midas In Training??

Why?


14/26

You will provide opportunities for authentic learning

based on your participants' needs, interests and talents.

The multiple intelligence workshops acts like the "real"

world.

participants become more active, involved learners.

Line manager and / or HOD - employee involvement tends to

increase.This happens as employees demonstrate work before panels

and audiences.

Midas In Training??

Why?


16/26

participants will be able to demonstrate and share their

strengths.

Building strengths gives an employee the motivation to be a"specialist."

This can in turn lead to increased self-esteem.

How can applying M.I. theory

help employees absorb better?

1. Participants begin to understand how they are intelligent.

2. In Gardner's view, learning is both a social and psychological

process.

3. When participants understand the balance of their own multiple

intelligences they begin

To manage their own learning

To value their individual strengths


18/26

Trainers can get a hands on experience of the status of intellectual

pool of the employees. This knowledge can be tied up with

PMS/appraisals. (though the idea needs to be explored with a more

pragmatic outlook)

For e.g. knowing which employees have the potential for strong

interpersonal intelligence, will help you create opportunities wherethis strength can be fostered professionally or the other way round

also holds true.

However, multiple intelligence theory is not intended to provide

trainers with new IQ-like labels for their trainees.


19/26

Trainees approach understanding from different angles.

The problem, "What is communication?" has scientific,

poetic, artistic, musical, and geographic points of entry

The accomplishment of the lawyer is in winning a casethrough research and persuasive argument, more than in

having passed the bar exam.


20/26

Participants become balanced individuals who can function asactive members of the corporate.

Meticulously designed training activities that address different

layers of the intelligences foster deep understanding about the

essential questions of work life, such as:

1. What are my aspirations?

2. What interests me?

3. What have I achieved?

4. What can I achieve?

5. How does one lead a good life?
