Andragogy is the art and science of adult education that focuses on real-life application and problem-solving capacity (Knowles, Holton, & Swanson, 1998). This approach emphasizes that training effectiveness is enhanced through trainees' actual performance of the task. Workers learn better when they perceive that learning will help them perform tasks or deal with problems that they confront in their work. This article explores the domain of the elements and principles of training from the learner-practitioner's perspective by taking into consideration three basic elements: the work, the worker, and the workplace. Sound training programs can help an organization ensure the highest level of productivity among its employees. Such programs not only train workers to do their jobs correctly, but also make sure that time is not wasted on unnecessary or inefficient training. Overall, the workplace can provide an excellent atmosphere for facilitating individual learning through authentic, goal-directed activities and everyday engagement in problem solving.
