    Main Results:

    • Standard instructional theory often overlooks adult learning characteristics.
    • Andragogy emphasizes self-direction, experience, and relevance for adult learners.
    • Misapplication of traditional theories can hinder adult radiologic technology students' engagement and comprehension.

    Conclusions:

    • Andragogy offers a more suitable framework for radiologic technology education.
    • Educators should adapt their methods to align with adult learning principles.
    • Implementing andragogy can enhance the educational outcomes for adult learners in this field.
