Professional Expression of Adult Education in Modern Society

Journal Title: Jaunųjų mokslininkų darbai - Year 2013, Vol 39, Issue 1

Abstract

The modernity theories of western-type societies are understood as a process, when a developing society approaches developed societies, reaching a certain level of economic growth, a certain level of public participation or a certain phase of democratic development, giving access for more individuals to the physical, social and economic mobility. In modern societies, the educational institution has become one of the key factors to ensure the stimulating and securing mobility of individuals. The modern world gives the education prominence in modern societies. Today we can meet the elements of andragogue’s activities in various sectors and social fields: vocational education and training, continuing vocational training, professional and social integration, institutions and organisations providing in-service training for staff, adult education, various administrative structures, associations, leisure clubs, health education, social work, colleges, universities, institutions that are dealing with informally or non-formally acquired learning outcomes validation, providing counselling or information services, etc. Thus, the andragogue’s profession is not legitimized yet and there is no andragogue’s position, we have to discuss the roles that are really performed and their expression in other positions.
