One of the major mistakes that instructors can make in the classroom is to consistently teach course content without varying their teaching techniques. The term "andragogy" means "the art or science of teaching adults." According to that definition, then if we are to be effective instructors, then we need to become in essence, "artists."
Mortimer Ardler states “The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live.â€
Our objective as instructors should be to encourage and participate in the continuous learning of our students.
