1. The use of the term “andragogy” to mean education of adults and the term “pedagogy” to mean education of children is etymologically inaccurate. Although pedagogy derives from “pais,” meaning child, from antiquity pedagogy also has stood for education in general–without reference to learners’ ages. Andragogy derives from “aner,” meaning adult male and not adult of either sex. Given current efforts to purge English of sexist words, introduction of a term that excludes women is nonsensical. A new term based on the Greek could be coined. “Teleios,” not aner, is the Greek word for the English “adult.” Andragogy could be replaced by “teleiagogy,” a term that includes adults of both sexes.(Mohring, Popie M., 1989)
