Pedagogy vs. Andragogy

The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it. – Debbi Fields


My sociology teacher recently used the word "pedagogy" and I had no idea what that word had meant, so I looked it up in the Merriam dictionary, finding out that it is a word used to describe "the art, science or precession of teaching."  With this new word, I looked up different articles about the subject of pedagogy in our nation.  There are actually two opposite sides of this term.  Andragogy and pedagogy. This chart explains both words so perfectly.  In my thoughts the two terms seem to match up perfectly.  I personally would describe myself as an andragogical person because I am a self-motivated person.  I think which ever category you place your self under you should be able to succeed the best under and work with opportunities that only allow you to grow in school to become the best.  Motivation to do well in school will come from factors that you, yourself can only gauge.  So be proactive and accomplish goals you set.  Anything is possible!
