Implementation of the Andragogy Approach in Educational Settings: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

The andragogical approach is a method of teaching adults. Through the andragogy approach, learners do not feel lectured but are given the freedom to explore their learning needs so that they become more independent, active, and motivated to learn. With this in mind, the researcher in this study conducted a review of articles discussing the andragogy approach in educational settings. The method used is a systematic literature review of articles published between 2018 and 2023. The final results of the research conducted answer 3 research questions which include: 1) Implementation can be done in aspects such as curriculum innovation, learning implementation, and teaching models such as problem-based learning, e-learning, and blended learning. 2) The form of implementation includes changing the center of learning from teachers to learners (student-centered learning), starting to be applied in several subjects and specific courses, through peer tutors, as well as innovations in teaching methods. 3) The impact of implementation is very positive, especially for students to be active, to have high analytical power, to be able to think critically and independently in the learning process and in solving their personal problems.
