Final answer:

The 'Social Cognitive aspect' is not one of Knowles's four assumptions of adult learning theory, which includes being self-directed, bringing work-related experiences, readiness to learn, and seeking immediate application of knowledge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to Knowles's assumptions of adult learning theory, also known as andragogy. According to Malcolm Knowles, the four assumptions of adult learning theory include the following: adults are self-directed learners, they bring work-related experiences into the learning environment, they are ready to learn, and they seek immediate application of knowledge. Therefore, the option that is NOT one of Knowles's four assumptions of adult learning theory is "Social Cognitive aspect." This is not listed as one of the core assumptions in Knowles's theory, which rather emphasizes self-concept, experience, readiness to learn and an orientation to learning that is problem-centered and applicable to life situations.
