Have you ever wondered why the process of adult learning is so different from that of children? In children's education, the focus is on acquiring basic knowledge, fostering curiosity, and developing skills for the future. But when it comes to adults, the process becomes much more complex, requiring consideration of each person's individual needs and experiences. At COACHING.UP, we use an approach that takes into account adult learning and their unique characteristics.
One of the key aspects of this approach is andragogy—the science that studies the principles of adult learning. It acknowledges the rich life experience of an adult, their individual needs, and intrinsic motivation. At COACHING.UP, we actively apply andragogical principles in our educational programs, ensuring deep immersion in the process and creating an environment for continuous growth.
The uniqueness of andragogy lies in its emphasis on the practical application of knowledge. Adults seek to learn what they can directly use in their lives—to solve professional or personal challenges. This approach not only allows for acquiring new knowledge but also integrates it into everyday activities, ensuring long-term results.
At COACHING.UP, we design learning programs with a focus on a personalized approach. We consider each participant's experience and needs, allowing the learning process to be tailored to the individual characteristics of the students. This makes learning more effective and relevant for everyone, providing opportunities for self-development and unlocking potential.
We also actively engage students in discussions, group work, and practical tasks. This form of learning not only helps to gain a deeper understanding of coaching competencies but also develops essential communication and collaboration skills. At COACHING.UP, we encourage open dialogue between participants and trainers, which promotes the exchange of experiences and knowledge, creating a rich educational space for new ideas.
One of the innovative methods we use is the Green Pen method. This approach focuses not on students' mistakes but on their achievements. The Green Pen helps to highlight successes, increasing motivation and enhancing material retention. The method is based on an andragogical approach, taking into account the life experience and internal need for self-development in adult learners.
COACHING.UP programs are built on the P.A.D.S. principle, which integrates personalization, active participation, dialogue, and sharing. Each element of this system is aimed at creating the most effective learning process that meets the needs of modern adult students.
P.A.D.S. stands for:
Personalization – personalized learning, taking into account the needs and experiences of each participant
Activity – active participation through discussions, practical tasks, and group work
Dialogue – open dialogue between participants and the trainer, where everyone can share their thoughts and ideas
Sharing – exchanging experiences and knowledge among participants
We offer an innovative format of P.A.D.S. online meetings, which combines the principles of andragogy and the Green Pen method.
Thus, the Green Pen method is an essential part of our philosophy at COACHING.UP, but it is not the only one. We offer a wide range of innovative approaches that help our students not only acquire new knowledge but also integrate it into their lives, achieving sustainable and meaningful results.
The andragogical approach promotes deep and lasting knowledge retention because it is oriented toward the internal motivation of adult learners. This enables them not only to acquire new knowledge but also to effectively integrate it into their everyday lives, fostering long-term change and personal development.
