But understanding and harmonizing the context of learning in childhood and adulthood can present a complex scenario. This paper reviewes three theories of childhood learning vs. adulthood learning and compare them to the theory of pedagogy and andragogy in education. It finds using reflective discourse and document analysis, that while there are distinction in pedagogy and andragogy, in the same vain; both concepts can also connect and overlap in learning circumstances and practical applications in education. This is important in understanding the modern child and adult learner.
