Considerations for Andragogy in Leadership Education at HBCUs

Educating adult learners for decision-making in reflection of differences, fairness, and comprehension concerns will be best served through the use of andragogy, the application of unlearning theory and through self-awareness.In an oftenunrecognized space for differences, fairness, and comprehension, this proposed tutelage will leverage students positioned at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).As Black college students advance in their HBCU environment, they are also developing their psychosocial Black-awareness, a theoretical process called Nigrescence.The differences, fairness, and comprehension challenges can be reduced in intensity by addressing the implicit biases.Leadership education at HBCUs remains important.Differences, fairness, and comprehension of student leadership education using the principles of andragogy within an HBCU environment is a unique perspective that allows for leveraging as much opportunity for training as possible.The self maturing student in personal development and in the experiential learning from HBCU professors applying andragogy techniques will dissect and tackle implicit biases.
