Specificity of the organization of the educational process in working with adults

Abstract

In this work, the authors study the features of adult education in advanced training and retraining courses. The purpose of the study is to specify the specific features of the organization of the educational process in working with adults. The object is the methodology of organizing the educational process in working with adults. The subject is the specific features of the content of adult education. The relevance of postgraduate education is due to the requirements for a specialist's professional competence: the novelty of knowledge, the perfection of skills, high professionalism, and competitiveness. Such qualities can be developed through continuous education, but it is important to pay special attention to the organization of the educational process, taking into account the specific characteristics of adult learners, who are already engaged in professional activities and have certain knowledge and experience. The study focuses on the methodology of teaching not only course participants but also various forms of adult education (seminars, higher education, and postgraduate education). The educational process is based on a competence-based approach, which focuses on developing the competencies necessary for practical activities, as reflected in this publication. The authors emphasize the specific features of adult audiences when organizing the educational process in the context of ongoing professional activities and the importance of learning for their effectiveness.
