Andragogy deals with the learning and teaching of an adult which is an emerging trend in the education system. The principles of adult learning depends on the underpinning theoretical framework for the adult learning. The present study deals with the comparative study of the self-directed learning for an adult involving the online learning as well as responsible conduct of research. This paper presents the principles of andragogy and also cover the recommendations for educators to reflect when planning research ethics education students. The main goal of the paper is to resonate the learning of adult and make it much more in use for the proper education guidance and most importantly the lifelong learning. Keywords: Andragogy, Theoretical Framework, Self-directed learning, ethics
Introduction
The teaching of an adults or we called as andragogy is one of the significant factor for both the social and economic reality. Malcolm Knowles in 1968 proposed a new technology of adult learning so as to distinguish from the pre-adult schooling. He basically coined the andragogy as the art and science of the helping adults learn and hence it became the supporting point for the one who those trying to define the field of adult education as different from the other type of education. Andragogy is defined as an art and science which help the adults to learn. It believe on the theory that an individual develops psychologically at the point of accomplish the self-respect of the necessary self-direction.
As per as the criticism of the andragogical theory right to support the theory assumptions lacks empirical evidence. It also failed as it also not insure the fundamental theory of the knowledge and the challenges that the adult learning exactly differs from child learning or not. The concept of andragogy is termed as the system of concepts as educational and theory which influence with the assumption that are evident (Chinnasamy, 2013)
