다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Theory is important. A theory is a set of assumptions or beliefs that we have about an idea or an activity. Theories can be simple or complex; however, we cannot escape theories. Theories are powerful forces in teaching and learning situation. All Christian adult educators have some theories that guide how they teach others to learn. A quality theory of teaching involves a quality view of learning. Christian adult educators cannot teach effectively if they do not have a clear understanding of the principles of Christian adult education and learning process.
This study explores four concepts related to adult education including: (1) a general overview of andragogical teaching and learning theory as related to adult learners; (2) the modern practice of adult education; and (3) the Principles of Adult Learning Scale(PALS). (4) The idea of Christian higher education
