Descripción:This essay deals with the need to implement the principles of andragogy at Universidad Nacional in Costa Rica. Therefore, a general review is made about its regulations which supports the eventual inclusion of andragogy at the institutional level, and a comparative outline is presented on its scope with those of pedagogy, its general characteristics, its benefits for learning for adults and their basic principles. The purpose of the essay is to generate a reflection to develop actions and guidelines in which the academic work of the university is framed taking into account the characteristics of adult learning. A model is developed with four basic elements to be considered in any institutional model to know the general concept of learning, the role of the learner’s experience, willingness to learn and guidance to learn. To delve into the analysis, a holistic concept about the human being is proposed from the biological, social, psychological and legal dimensions, and its specific conceptualization pointing out the cognitive, physical, emotional, and personal dimensions. Finally, some conclusions are presented that confirm the need to implement andragogy in higher education and in the work of Universidad Nacional to ensure the approach in the educational processes of university students who are adults.
