“…Adults need to be in control of their learning; they will learn if the subject has meaning for them and they can see its applicability in their future careers (McGrath, ). Adults tend to want to discover information for themselves rather than be spoon‐fed facts and told to accept them (McPherson and Lorenz, ). Adult learners should be intrinsically motivated to learn with no limitations placed on them (Knowles, ).…”

Assessment serves the primary function of determining a student's competence in a subject. Several different assessment formats are available for assessing anatomical skills, knowledge and understanding and, as assessment can drive learning, a careful selection of assessments can help to engender the correct deep learning facility required of the safe clinical practitioner. The aim of this review was to survey the published literature to see whether higher education institutions are taking an andragogical approach to assessment. Five databases (EMBASE, ERIC, Medline, PubMed, and Web of Knowledge) were searched using standardized search terms with two limits applied (English language, and 2000 to the present). Among the 2,094 papers found, 32 were deemed suitable for this review. Current literature on assessment can be categorized into the following themes: assessment driven learning, types of assessments, frequency of assessments, and use of images in assessments. The consensus is to use a variety of methods, written and practical, to assess anatomical knowledge and skill in different domains. Institutions aim for different levels of Bloom's taxonomy for students at similar stages of their medical degree. Formative assessments are used widely, in differing formats, with mostly good effects on the final examination grade. In conclusion, a wide variety of assessments, each aimed at a different level of Bloom's taxonomy, are used by different institutions. Clin. Anat. 30:290-299, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Developed mostly in Europe, andragogy is currently being used in the United States by instructors, particularly Malcolm Knowles, working with adults. Andragogy is taken from the Greek words that mean &dquo;leading man,&dquo; and is defined as the art and science of helping adults learn (McPherson and Lorenz, 1985). Knowles (1978) outlined the five basic principles of adult learning theory:…”

Educators have historically supported the position that learning is a lifelong procedure, but few have acknowledged that learning is accomplished in different ways at various stages of life. Research indicates that a child seven years of age has a different learning pattern than a high school senior, or an adult. Until re cently, however, the same principles of learning, or pedagogy, were applied to all learning situations regardless of the learner's maturity.

The Pedagogical and Andragogical Principal—The Consummate Teacher

Abstract: Too many principals have abandoned their teaching role, and few have learned how to teach adults effectively. Consequently, it is unlikely that they will be effective instructional leaders, according to these writers.
