For adult learners, instruction needs to focus ................. .
Answer: C
Instruction for adults should focus more on the process and less on the content to be taught.
Andragogy, Malcolm Knowles' model of adult learning, holds that adults are self-directed, draw on their own experience and want learning that is relevant and problem-centred. The teacher acts as a facilitator who designs the process of learning (involving learners in planning, drawing on experience, applying ideas) rather than transmitting a fixed body of content.
Putting more weight on content describes the traditional pedagogical model for children, and the 'equal' options miss the shift in emphasis that andragogy makes.
