This article examines the fundamental differences and interconnections between pedagogy and andragogy
within the context of modern education. It analyzes key theoretical perspectives and highlights how teaching approaches
vary depending on learners’ age, experience, and level of autonomy. The study is based on analytical and synthetic
methods, involving a detailed review of works by leading scholars in the field of education. The findings reveal that pedagogy
is primarily teacher-centred, while andragogy emphasizes learner independence, intrinsic motivation, and experiential
learning. The article concludes that an integrated application of both approaches is essential for effective and flexible
educational practice.
