Abstract As new digital technologies, consumer demand, and social issues such as COVID-19 render workplaces increasingly data-centric, employers will require culturally and technologically adept workers who can utilize creativity in every stage of the production process. To prepare students for this demand, institutions of higher education must establish flexible programs that provide professional or technical curricula combined with a liberal arts education that fosters students’ abilities to build imaginations beyond conventionally accepted norms. The capacity for creative fantasy intersects with cognitive maturity and higher-order thinking and thus can be measured using models of adult development. Schools should develop knowledge platforms that can first assess a student's maturity stage and then design a personalized liberal and professional education plan that maximizes their creative abilities. This article therefore engages adult development theory to map possible trajectories toward students’ constructive use of innovative fantasy and to address ways educational institutions can reorient their approaches.

In today’s world, an adult faces many challenges, which determine the need to learn continuously, improve one’s skills, and sometimes even change one’s profession. The concept of adult education has been developed in the view of a number of issues, namely, natural aging of the population and demographic crisis; rapid external labor migration; labor market imbalance associated with a significant number of workers with higher education and shortage of workers; modern competencies by people aged “45+” insufficient for successful employment and active participation in public life; lack of state policy on adult education in Ukraine during all the years of independence, in contrast to the EU policy and practice in this area. Due to the lack of open, complete and reliable information on adult education, as well as its components, namely the professional growth of employees in general and lecturers in particular, sociological research on these issues. The issues of improving the professional growth of employees, the peculiarities of the organization of the process of professional growth of employees, self-education and the most effective forms of adult education are revealed. As a result of a sociological study, it was found that employees are ready for self-education and professional growth, but it should be supported by employers and officials at various levels. Investigating the issues of professional growth of lecturers of higher education establishments, a sociological study was conducted in 2020 and 2021. The study has revealed the issue of compliance with legislation and actual implementation of conditions for professional growth of lecturers; dependence on advanced training and career growth; self-education and skills gained as a result, as well as a rating of soft skills; self-education for development of soft skills; features of the combination of family and professional duties; satisfaction with working conditions and subsequent desire to change one’s job. The study has established that a high percentage of respondents are committed to advanced training in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine; half of the respondents believe that there is no correlation between one’s professional growth and career growth; the share of lecturers involved in self-education for development of soft skills is growing every year; a third are dissatisfied with working conditions, and half of the respondents are about to change their jobs.

Full textAbstract:
Financial education is an important area of study due in part to the need for improved understanding of how to navigate an ever more complex financial decision-making environment, thus the need for effective classroom instruction. The purpose of this study is to examine a “teacher-as-learner” professional development program that is rooted in both professional development and adult education fields of study as means of providing financial education. This program educates teachers on their own personal finance, ultimately better preparing educators to teach financial literacy education. Results showed significant improvements in self-reported financial behaviors between pre- and posttests. Results suggest using contextual learning for teacher professional development because it benefits personal finances and successful teaching practices.

Full textAbstract:
Opportunities for self-determined online professional development (OPD) are emerging, but their potential for increasing adult learners’ agency is not yet fully realised. Faced with the problem of successfully designing a self-determined comprehensive evidence-based online numeracy resource for educators who are often time poor and do not engage with online learning unless they are intrinsically motivated, we engaged in design research to conceptualise the Birth to Level 10 Numeracy Guide for educators and families. The Birth to Level 10 Numeracy Guide fosters educators’ and adult learners’ numeracy capability across numeracy focus areas from birth to level 10 (16-year-olds). This extensive OPD resource incorporates consistent design elements, double-looped learning, nonlinear learning, self-reflection, and metacognition activities to foster educators’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) through experiential learning. With a section dedicated to families, the resource provides suggestions and advice to parents and carers on everyday, authentic activities to develop children and young people’s numeracy understandings at home and in the local community. As education systems continue to grapple with the disruption brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Birth to Level 10 Numeracy Guide is a timely, freely accessed, viable, and scalable option for providing low-cost OPD.

The motivation to constant knowledge update is due to the dynamic scientific and technological progress, which affects the change of all spheres of human activity. Employees of many organizations are in need of both professional development as well as obtaining a new specialty in order to maintain and improve their own competitiveness. In these conditions, higher educational institutions focused on adults training, are looking for new ways that will improve the formation of adult students competence. The purpose of the article is to analyze the experience of modern technologies implementation in the process of adult education. The article reveals the possibilities of innovative educational technologies, their essence and role in modern professional education. The role of continuous adult students education is emphasized, their functions are highlighted. The authors have identified the features on which the teacher relies in the process of adults training, which helps to make the training more effective. The implementation of modern adult education is based on the following principles: problematical character (the teacher should remember that adult students may feel uncomfortable in a group, they may be unaccustomed to feel like students again, for this it is necessary to "immerse" them in favorable conditions of communication. Role-playing, "brain storm" (which is more often referred to as discussion technologies, but in gaming it also takes place), blitz games contribute to the removal of emotional tension and the formation of effective cognitive motivation; the principle of dialogical communication.The study conducted among students of professional development courses from the age of 32 to 45 showed the need for further introduction of modern educational technologies in adult education. Their capabilities make the learning process more intense, active, and at the same time contribute to the rapid achievement of positive results.

Full textAbstract:
The author identifies four key trends in the development of non-formal adult education in Ukraine. The first trend is the division of non-formal adult education into two areas: general cultural and professional. The first direction means the development of the need for education, the formation of the ability to learn independently, to know themselves and their capabilities, to meet intellectual and aesthetic needs. The second direction is related to the development of corporate education and in-house training. The second trend is characterized by the emergence of new institutions of non-formal adult education. These are public organizations and unions, women's organizations, interest clubs, cooperative professional associations, cor-porate universities and academies, etc. The third trend is related to the expansion of the content, forms and methods of non-formal adult education. The author gives a classification of forms of organization of non-formal education: didactic, socio-pedagogical, professionally-oriented, language-linguistic, cultural-artistic. The fourth trend has developed over the past few years. This is the transition of non-formal adult education to an online format. In the domestic market, the number of providers offering mass open online courses is growing. Among them are the Ukrainian online platforms Prometheus and VUM (Open University Maidan)

In this paper we discuss the professionalisation of adult education and learning in the territory of former Yugoslavia. The rationale behind the paper is based on the presumption that the process of professionalisation represents a reflection of social conditions, tradition, culture, development of higher education institutions, the scientific/knowledge base for a certain field on the main elements of the profession. Our aim is to critically discuss professionalisation in the field of adult education and learning with a threefold focus (on the profession, representing the sociological dimension, on professionalism, representing the philosophical/ethical dimension, and on professionalisation, representing the andragogical dimension). The findings indicate that in the territory of former Yugoslavia significant but insufficient progress has been made when it comes to shaping the field of professional practice and in the professional preparation of andragogues/adult educators at universities, including improvement in continuing professional development. On the other hand, when it comes to establishing professional associations, licensing, and the development of professional code(s) of ethics, the process of professionalisation has been very moderate and slow.

Comprehensive analysis of scientific studies of national and foreign scientists showed that the problem of the teachers’ professional development improvement has been represented in theoretical and practical philosophical, psychological and pedagogical science. The analysis of development of the postgraduate education tendencies, life-long professional education of adult learners, long-term scientific and pedagogical experience have revealed the relevance of research in the improving of the teachers professional development. This research has been appropriated by the increased requirements for postgraduate education and traditional approaches to the development of the teachers’ professional competences and by the necessity to cope with the existing stereotypes, changing attitudes and approaches to the teachers’ professional growth.The aim of the research is to identify the spheres of improvement for the professional development of teachers in the system of postgraduate education.The interpretation of the teachers’ professional development has been defined as an increase of their professional competence in the result of practical experience and prolonged purposeful and coordinated self-education in the conditions of formal, non-formal and informal adult education.The main directions of improvement of Ukrainian teachers’ professional development in our in-service teacher training include: 1) systematic implementation of educational innovation in postgraduate education content; 2) development of the blended forms of teacher training for providing educational possibilities for various special optional courses, trainings and seminars on full-time training conferences, consultations, participation in online conferences, electronic forums, chats on the distance remote basis; 3) creation of a system of the various modular courses and teacher trainings, which provides a clear definition, diagnosis and monitoring of professional competence components, based on a modular educational technology and which is one of the modern innovations in adult education; 4) development of partnership subject-subject interaction in in-service training, where the participants of training activities are oriented to the professional development, personal and professional growth.The results of studies have stated that a comprehensive personal training for teachers should be oriented to the development of their willingness to increase the effectiveness of the professional activities. In the further researches we consider the necessity of studying and generalization of international and national databases on the teachers’ continuous professional development.

In this article we present the findings of an investigation on how primary school teachers at 3 independent primary schools in Johannesburg experienced continuous professional teacher development (CPTD). There is a wealth of literature available on planning, organising and implementing effective CPTD. Such literature also highlights the importance of applying adult learning principles in CPTD contexts in order to promote teachers’ learning and development and in turn contributing to a positive effect on learning in the classroom. Exploring the value and usefulness of adult learning principles in CPTD can enhance primary school teachers’ learning opportunities to update their knowledge and skills. Effective CPTD is important in South Africa as there is an urgent need to improve literacy and numeracy levels across primary education levels. Using qualitative data, we explore teachers’ perspectives on how they learn and develop effectively, and what hinders their own learning and CPTD. Data collection methods included interviews, open-ended questionnaires, observations and document analysis. Fifteen primary school teachers, 3 primary school principals and 4 adult/teacher trainers participated in this investigation. A major finding of this research suggests that adult learning principles such as community of practice (CoP) are often omitted from CPTD practices. Thus, a disparity exists between literature on effective CPTD practice as compared to the everyday CPTD experiences of teachers. With this article we aim to contribute to current literature about teachers’ experiences of CPTD and propose suggestions for planning, organising and implementing CPTD that also incorporates adult learning principles and would be valuable and useful to teachers.

The focussed professional development of teachers ensures the quality of modern education. In the context of life-long education, each teacher has to develop their professional and personal competence, to ensure the development of general and professional skills and for teachers to be able to face new challenges and undertake their tasks in non-traditional, but well argued ways, because education strengthens intuition, confidence and the ability to knowingly transform acquired experience into innovation. The issue in the research establishes the contradictions seen within society between the goals set in education and their implementation in the teaching process. Attention has been focussed in this research on the current national situation in the professional development of teachers, gathering information on what is offered and researching the improvements needed for a modern adult learning process. The importance of the research was established by the need for changes in general education and the implementation of sustainable development principles. The main strategic principles, the observation of which could significantly increase the possibility of development are prescribed by the “Sustainable Development Strategy of Latvia until 2030”. They are – innovation, tolerance, co-operation and participation, which should also be included in the content of teachers’ professional development courses, in this way directly influencing the improvement of the quality of education as well.

Full textAbstract:
Adult educators employed in steel mill career development programs offer the field a unique glimpse into the relationship between context and career trajectories. This article explores the lives of these adult educators against the backdrop of contemporary theories of career development, situated learning, and continuing professional development as a function of career identity. In particular, this article reports on a study that examined how teachers reflected on their practice and the implications this may have for the development of their professional identity. The specific questions this research addressed included: How did the teachers acquire the knowledge they feel they need to teach in the classroom or work in an adult education setting? How do they come to see themselves as adult educators'? What does this mean to them? To what extent does reflection on practice lead to the development of identity as adult educators ? Evidence suggests that although the field of adult education has explored career paths of its members in numerous contexts and theorized about how these elements come together, it has yet to describe, much less theorize, the path of those who locate themselves within and contribute to the practice of adult education outside of the mainstream.

Full textAbstract:
The object of the study in the article is corporate foreign language teaching. The subject of the study is the specificity of this process, understood as a set of its features, caused by social and psycho-pedagogical features of adult professionally successful students. The authors view corporate teaching as a special type of adult education, where „adulthood” is manifested not only on a formal age basis but also as having substantial social, professional and academic experience. Special attention is paid to psychological and pedagogical characteristics of adult learners and taking them into account in the methodological context of foreign language teaching. The research methodology involves a multidisciplinary deductive reasoning. From the interdisciplinary justification of the relevance of the investigated process in modern socioprofessional space, the authors move to psycho-pedagogical characteristics of adult learners in the context of continuous development and attitudes of adulthood. Analysis in a strictly pedagogical space allows to identify the potential of foreign language knowledge and its role in human development in the study stage of its life trajectory. In the final part of the article, there is a fusion of psychological and pedagogical areas in the context of specific methodological features of corporate teaching of foreign language in the business environment. The authors come to the conclusions about the significant qualitative differences between the investigated types of training compared to other types of professional education (e.g. University), as well as the need of the training system for working in this field.

Full textAbstract:
The Department of Aging and Geriatric Research at the University of Florida College of Medicine has established online education programs to provide healthcare professionals with advanced training in the field of gerontology to establish proficiency in providing quality care to older individuals. A major barrier to creating our online education programs was the challenge of transitioning our faculty from a traditional face-to-face learning environment to an online platform. A current trend in this type of professional development is to treat the faculty themselves as adult learners. Meyer has made several recommendations for professional faculty development specific to online education based on an extensive literature review. Here we present a reflection on how we addressed these various recommendations in the professional development of our faculty. We focus on our team’s ability to mentor the faculty through the course creation process by piloting an adult learning/transformative theory approach to instruct the faculty to think as online educators. Our intent is to inform other educators creating similar programs so they may learn from our experiences and use our methods for creating their own online education programs, especially with a “lean team.”

The article offers a theoretical and practical analysis on the problem of formation and improvement of a university teacher’s professional and pedagogical skills. The authors reveal theoretical approaches to the problem of defining the concepts of «education», «blended learning», «distance learning». Based on the theoretical analysis on the essential features of modern society in general and the education system in particular the following issues are highlighted: forced isolation and migration of a significant part of citizens, search for new directions of formation and improvement of teachers’ professional skills; identification of forms and methods as well as determination of the main factors of formation and improvement of a university teacher’s professional skills. Peculiarities of mixed and distance mode of educational process organization are indicated. System principles of open education are listed (mobility of the whole educational process, equal access to educational systems, provision of quality education, formation of structure and realization of educational services). The need to create a single information and educational space for the educational process of student’s training is noted as the article describes its main features. In the context of improving the professional skills of a university teacher, different approaches to the interpretation of the skills of a university teacher are proposed; the research on the system of adult education is closely related. The tasks of the state policy in the field of adult education on the basis of normative-legal documents are listed. The leading factors of formation and improvement of a university teacher’s professional skills (self-motivation, mobility, self-satisfaction and self-encouragement) are singled out; their thorough characteristic is given. Emphasis is placed on the creation of a single digital educational environment of the educational institution. Significant benefits are identified for all participants, including teachers. Particular attention is paid to the teacher’s personal educational portfolio, which is a set of information about the documents on personal achievements.

Full textAbstract:
After many months of research and course design, an initial distance learning course offering was delivered in early 2011 called, “Introduction to Canadian Common Law for Land Surveyors”. The course was designed to expose foreign trained professional land surveyors to the study of boundary law. Many present candidates for articles and licensing in professional land surveying have been welcomed to Canada as permanent residents as part of an immigration screening process that recognizes foreign education and credentials. In meeting its obligation to offer learning opportunities for such candidates to gain admission to the practice of professional surveying in Ontario, AOLS undertook the development of adult learning courses in all disciplines, including survey law. This presentation will describe the issues surrounding development and delivery of survey law learning. The challenges are usually daunting enough when the subject matter is law. What has made the development of this series of courses novel is the use of a Learning Management System (LMS) which allows for the integration of reading resources, external references, video vignettes, and a replay of past learning sessions. The course design has been internet based and allows for learner participation from a distance through the internet. For adult learners who are working, have families, and live away from the teaching venue, these courses offer new opportunities in the education of the geomatics professional. For existing members looking for professional development, the full suite of courses promises to be a rich resource for staying current and in touch with new developments in boundary law.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Although continuing education is required for athletic trainers (AT) to maintain their Board of Certification credential, little is known regarding its efficacy for advancing knowledge and improving patient care. Continuing professional education (CPE) is designed to provide professionals with important practical learning opportunities. The purpose of our literature review is to provide ATs with an understanding of the primary evaluation models for CPE programs and identify how athletic training compares to the current models. We then explicate how adult learning theories can influence both CPE program development and evaluation. Data Sources: We conducted a review of pertinent literature from 2005–2008 using the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) with the following search terms in various combinations: andragogy, adult education, continuing education, continuing professional education, lifelong learning, and evaluation. This search resulted in approximately 190 hits. Data Synthesis: We reviewed research studies that examined CPE effectiveness and the application of adult learning theories in program development. Our findings revealed that most CPE programs fail to assess acquisition or retention of knowledge in allied healthcare professions. To date, no studies in athletic training have investigated the extent to which CPE influences patient care. Conclusions/Recommendations: We suggest conducting learning outcome studies to examine how ATs acquire and retain CPE program content and then apply it to their professional practice. Furthermore, we recommend incorporating adult learning theory into all CPE practices, including conference planning.

The article presents the results of the comparative analysis of the formation and development of adult education in Ukraine and the Slovak Republic. The general (globalization, democratization, individualization of adult education) and specific (establishment of the legal framework, the introduction of an andragogical model of education in formal education) trends in the development of adult education in both countries.
It has been proved that the Slovak Republic as a member state of the European Union has a well-established tradition of adult education through legislative provision, an effective system of preparation of andragogues as adults in adult education, and didactic provision of adult education in formal and non-formal education institutions. In particular, the actual direction of using Slovak experience in the development of adult education in Ukraine is to promote the continuous professional development of adults through the advisory mechanism (poradenstvo) – personalized professional counseling. The analysis of the specialties that is training the personnel in the field of adult education in Ukraine has shown that andragogical counseling is tangent to such specialties as information management; management of personnel, organizations, socio-cultural activities, management of public organizations, public institutions, international educational projects, innovations in education, psychological counseling, etc. However, in Ukraine, unlike Slovakia, it does not have a clear focus on the andragogical aspect of counseling, but it has a clear focus on management. This makes it impossible for an interdisciplinary approach to the counseling system that we see it in the Slovak Republic, with a clear distinction between the andragogical context.

Full textAbstract:
Maintenance of professional competence remains an exercise of permament learning and an essential requirement for evidence –based medical practice. Physicians attend continuing professional development (CPD) programs to acquire new knowledge. Often CPD programs remain the main source for updates of information. CPD organizers have a considerable responsibility in determining appropriate curriculum for their conferences. Organizing an effective CPD activity often requires understanding of the principles of adult education. Prior to deciding on the curriculum for a CPD, course organizers should conduct needs assessment of physicians. CPD planners should create activities that would consistently improve physician competence. CPD sessions that are interactive, using multiple methods of instructions for small groups of physicians from a single specialty are more likely to change physician knowledge and behavior. The effectiveness of a CPD program should be evaluated at a level beyond measuring physician satisfaction. CPD planners should incorporate methods to determine the course attendees’ improvement of knowledge, skills and attitudes during the CPD activities. Pre and post conference evaluations of physicians using multiple choice questions may form a useful method of assessment.

En este artículo se estudia una serie de variables vinculadas al desarrollo profesional de trabajadores jóvenes y adultos desde un enfoque de género. Se analizan las percepciones de mujeres y hombres trabajadores respecto al éxito profesional subjetivo de sus carreras, dentro del contexto español, atendiendo a la satisfacción e identificación de patrones de género. Se combina una metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa (enfoque mixto), aplicando un cuestionario a una muestra de 205 trabajadores, así como entrevistas a una submuestra de 32 personas. Los resultados permiten describir una marcada dualidad en la percepción de la progresión de la carrera, la satisfacción laboral y las expectativas de logro, en relación con el género, pero también con la edad. Las barreras percibidas en el desarrollo profesional presentan igualmente patrones diferenciados. Se derivan implicaciones prácticas, a fin de mejorar las estrategias de orientación de las carreras de trabajadoras y trabajadores tomando en cuenta esta realidad. This paper examines a series of variables related to the profesional development of young and adult workers from a gender perspective. It analyses, within the Spanish context, how working women and men subjectively perceive their professional success, paying attention to the identification and following of gender patterns. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies are combined in a mixed approach that uses a questionnaire (given to a sample of 205 workers) and interviews (with a subsample of 32 individuals). Their results enable us to describe a marked duality in the perception of career progression, job satisfaction and achievement expectations in relation to gender but also age. The barriers perceived in professional development also present differentiated patterns. Practical implications are derived with a view to improve career guidance strategies for working women and men, taking this reality into account.

Full textAbstract:
The article reveals global innovations in the field of adult vocational training. The world experience in the field of organization of professional training of adults is also covered. It is proved that the professionalization of adult education requires the training of teachers in this field. In accordance with the research of foreign researchers, a role map and functions of an andragogy specialist have been developed, which help to build an idea of one's problem and make decisions about the educational and professional choice of an adult. The most rational ways of development of the system of training and improvement of pedagogical staff for work with adults abroad are characterized. The importance of the development of adult education in Ukraine based on foreign experience is emphasized. It is proved that the practice of organizing vocational education in foreign countries is based on various forms of non-formal and informal education.
A new program aimed at changing approaches to adult education - New Adult Learning Movement (NALM) - Movement for the renewal of adult education. It is noted that the NALM program can be used for adult education in almost any field of education (technical or humanities, higher or postgraduate education), as its goal is to form a universal culture through the awakening of purposeful human will and development of independent judgment.
Special attention is paid to «validation of non-formal and informal education» (VNIL or VNFIL). Translated from the Ukrainian language as "confirmation / recognition of the results of non-formal and informal education."

Full textAbstract:
The changes taking place in the modern world and in the education system in particular are characterized by continuity and abruptness, but they have a strong impact on people. Modern education is designed to help adults be resilient to change and capable of reactive adaptation based on lifelong learning. The actualization of non-formal and informal education is associated with a change in the social role of education in the information society, the transition from the implementation of the compensatory function to a comprehensive individual personal development. Active life position, participation in social projects, awareness of one's own life and educational goals are important components of ensuring the quality of life of modern man.
The modern concept of quality of life emphasizes the need to implement an authentic way of life, creating opportunities for the development of interpersonal relationships, conditions for various types of leisure, providing those needs that can’t be met only by material values, including educational. An adult during life has a steady need for education, due to the need to realize professional inclinations and abilities, personal interests and aptitudes. In this context, adult education is a tool for ensuring the quality of human life.
In today's world, improving the quality of life is inextricably linked with the development of education, which is a prerequisite for the country's competitiveness in the global division of labor. Successful are those countries that invest in education, its development and long-term growth. Therefore, education is a significant component of the process of ensuring the quality of life of the individual. Participation in trainings, professional communities, workshops, seminars contribute to the formation of an active life position and life trajectory, personal development of an adult and his goal-setting.

Findings from research syntheses of adult learning and in-service training studies identified the importance of professional development as a factor influencing practitioner use of recommended and evidence-based intervention practices. These relationships were used to test the hypothesis that practice-specific evidence-based capacity-building professional development would be related to early childhood practitioners’ reported use of recommended early childhood intervention practices. The participants were practitioners working with birth to 3-year-old, 3- to 5-year-old, or birth to 5-year-old children with identified disabilities, developmental delays, or at-risk conditions in home-based or center-based programs or both. The predictors included three practitioner background variables (e.g., years of professional experience) and three professional development variables (e.g., evidence-based professional development practices). Results indicated that the three professional development practice variables accounted for significant amounts of variance in the practitioners’ reported use of 10 different practices beyond that accounted for by the three background variables. The findings highlight the importance of evidence-based capacity-building professional development as a factor influencing practitioners’ judgments of their use of recommended practices.

The article deals organizational and content aspects of providers of adult education functioning in the USA and Canada. Comparative analysis of understanding of concept «content of education» by Ukrainian and foreign scientists is conducted. Content of education is experience, which is acquired by personality and becomes subjective. Peculiarities of concept «curriculum» are analyzed. In Ukrainian pedagogics content of education is viewed a system of knowledge, practical skills and ways of activity, experience of creative work, outlook, moral and aesthetic ideas. Specifics of Canadian and American centers of education functioning is analyzed. Every state in the USA and every province in Canada have center of adult education and center of knowledge spreading. Interconnection between centers of adult education and centers of knowledge spreading is traced. Centers of adult education are aimed at creating conditions for personal and professional development of every man. Functions of adult centers of education are singled out. The main functions are the following: monitoring and analysis of adults’ educational needs. Differences between programs of general education and programs of professional training and career development are traced. Five blocks of programs of corporate education are analyzed. Programs of general education are aimed at acquisition of knowledge that was not obtained at school in reading, counting and writing. Programs for professional development of adults are aimed at workforce training, development of small business, increasing opportunities for skills development, integration of practical skills and theoretical knowledge at workplace, training of adults for changes in their career. Peculiarities of programs for professional and career development are practical orientation, personalization, openness, binary adaptation. Key components of programs of corporate learning are the following: development of basic skills and knowledge, training of managers and administrative personnel, investigation of science and technologies, selling of commodities and work with clients, general education. Basic skills presuppose not only reading, writing and counting, but also knowledge of sciences, skills of reading, writing and critical thinking. Second block is aimed at training of managers and administrative personnel. The third block is aimed at learning science and technologies, which is rather important in conditions of information society. The fourth block is aimed at teaching how to work with clients in coordination with technical and management education. The fifth block presupposes personal and professional development of workers.

Conclusions: MOPS is a quality assurance (QA) project that is now outdated and needs review. Current thinking about how doctors learn suggests that what is needed in its place is an educational program based on continuous quality improvement (CQI) and adult learning principles. Such a program would be practice-based, self-directed, peer-supervised and locally managed. This would provide flexibility in meeting the ongoing educational needs of individual Fellows in a way that the current system does not.

Full textAbstract:
Areas and approaches to professional foreign language teachers’ development at higher education institutions are discussed in this article. Teaching foreign languages requires from teachers not only the methodological and pedagogical competences development, but also constant work aimed at maintaining the required level of foreign language proficiency. Maintaining language competence requires systematic learning of language skills (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar) and aspects of speech activity (speaking, listening, reading and writing), which puts the teacher in need of interaction with native speakers or those who use the language taught to track new linguistic phenomena. The directions and opportunities for professional foreign language teachers development in the professional development context at a higher education institution are considered. Advanced training can be carried out in the direction of support of language and speech skills; preparation for the international exam and/or mastering the format of the international exam in order to prepare students for these exams; development of methodological and pedagogical competence; acquaintance with new documents (standards, regulations, rules, etc.) and innovations. The modern Internet resources which allow to solve various problems for a professional level increase of foreign language teachers are allocated. It should be noted that knowledge of a foreign language opens up opportunities for professionals in various fields. Distinctive features of the adult education format in the context of advanced training at a higher education institution are: openness (access to courses is provided via the Internet); multimedia (video, audio materials and other technological solutions are widely used in the courses); interactivity (active interaction of participants in the educational process with each other through participation in forums and chats); free or conditionally free training (most often the training materials are publicly available, but the receipt of documents is carried out for a fee); leading institutions of higher education are engaged in the development of courses.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To present the principles of adult learning and mentoring to help clinical instructors better educate athletic training students (ATSs) during their clinical experiences, with the end result being a better prepared, competent entry-level practitioner. Background: The principles of adult learning must be applied to ATS clinical education in order to develop more task mature and knowledgeable entry-level practitioners. Because clinical instructors are typically educated as clinicians rather than educators, they are generally not well-versed in the principles of adult learning, and generally do not spend a great deal of time designing learning experiences, appropriate supervision techniques, or mentoring strategies within the students' clinical experiences. Description: Concepts of adult learning, such as task maturity, self-concept, and self-directed learning, are keys to the development of competent practitioners. As espoused by Knowles, the Dreyfus five stage model of skill acquisition supports the concepts of adult learning and is easily applied to clinical education of the ATS. Modifications of this model and other adult learning models place students along a learning continuum where their progress can be enhanced or delayed depending on the instructional strategies employed by their clinical instructor (CI). Clinical Advantages: If instructional strategies are changed to correctly match the learner's progression, the learner will continue to move toward becoming a competent entry-level practitioner. These instructional adjustments will also allow the student to become more competent and self-confident in his or her clinical and decision-making skills.

Socio-economic changes in the late 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, technological and socio-cultural transformations at global and local levels had a significant impact on de-termining the role of adult education for modern Ukrainian society and outline its further development vec-tor. The need for mass professional retraining of adults to ensure socio-economic reforms, as well as the for-mation of Ukraine’s civil society, is prompted by the development of an adult continuous education flexible system to respond to the whole society’s challenges and the demands of its specific layers. The author states that Ukraine has a rich historical experience of adult education (from weekend schools, re-education schools, part-time universities, universities for workers and peasants to the creation of research institutions in the system of the National Academy of Educational Sciences, engaged in research and theoretical analysis of an-dragogy and departments of andragogy at higher education institutions). Contemporary landscape of adult education in the country has been analyzed. According to the author, the situation is ambiguous and charac-terized by both positive (awareness of the role of adult education) and negative (reduction of terms of study, commercialization of many adult education pathways, funding cutbacks) features. However, positive changes prevail: branching of goals and education fields; diversification of educational services, development of adult education flexible structures that can meet modern requirements. The system of adult education in Ukraine has been analyzed. According to structural features, it has formal and informal components. The emphasis is placed on the role of non-formal education. The author concludes that adult education in Ukraine is gaining more importance in modern society.
