Abstract
Using andragogical theory developed by Malcolm Knowles as a foundation as well as a counterpoint, this article presents a new framework for teaching clinic students. Frustrated by tensions they encountered in teaching students whom they expected to have all the qualities of “adult learners,” the authors developed a new theory that blends humanistic as well as developmental theory. The article describes this new theory and evaluates why it works in clinical teaching.
