U-Blog 4

I have always wonder why college education was so different from high school.
After reading about adragogy and pedagogy I know the pivotal difference. It
really is the way professors teach their students. In K-12 most teachers used
the teacher directed experience approach for learning new subject matter. In
the world of higher education, the practical task orientated approach is used.
The professor’s expect you as a student to read and research your studies more
own your own. For me this was the biggest adjustment I had to make. But that
understand the point and the logical behind it; i feel like I will also be a
better student for it.
