At Dunster Business School we apply Andragogy Principles.

Need to Know: Providing clear objectives and practical applications of the learning material is essential.

Self-Concept: Encouraging participation and offering opportunities for learners to take control of their learning journey.

Prior Experience: Effective learning incorporates previous experiences and relates new concepts to what learners already know.

Readiness to Learn: Learning should align with immediate challenges or developmental needs.

Orientation to Learning: Practical, real-world applications used in learning over abstract theories.

Motivation to Learn: Internal motivators, such as self-improvement drive mature learners more than external pressures like grades or mandates.

Respect and Collaboration: Mutual respect in the learning process with collaboration with facilitators rather than a hierarchical teacher-student dynamic.
