Lifelong learning plays an important role due to the actual needs that we have in terms of knowledge-based economy. It provides education both to working and non-working people who want to be part of this developing society. In this study, two different levels of the Spanish Adult Education are assessed but not only from an individual point of view, but also from the point of view of cooperation between them in order to improve the teaching-learning process. Both the Education Centre of Olmedo (Olmedo, Spain) and the University of Burgos (Burgos, Spain) are described deep inside and likewise, the activities that they two are developing to interconnect both the two centres and the educational levels so that the learning process is never interrupted. Activities such as seminars, web pages management, oral presentations and questionnaires showing different aspects of the educational process will be discussed in the present study. The use of the new Information Technology and Communication (ICT) should be enhanced for effective learning of our adult students. From our results, it will be demonstrated that adults can be part of the education system and therefore gain new skills and knowledge that let them succeed in their lives. Key words: adult education, developing society, lifelong learning, teaching-learning process, teaching methodology.

Abstract. The article is devoted to the current problem of the development of critical thinking technology; innovative technologies for the development of critical thinking, consisting in the practical implementation of a person-oriented approach  in training are considered; the methods of forming critical thinking, which contribute to the formation of foreign language communicative competence, are considered too. The author shares practical ideas about the development of critical thinking in the context of teaching the Ukrainian language as a foreign language at the preparatory faculty.Examples of using technology through reading and writing are shown already in the first weeks of studying the general literary Ukrainian language; in the course «Country Studies» (discipline «Ukrainian as a foreign language», second semester of studying the Ukrainian language). The possibilities of developing critical thinking in the process of project implementation are demonstrated.Examples of the implementation of pedagogical technology for the development of critical thinking during classes are presented. The author substantiates the possibility and necessity of applying the critical thinking technology in teaching the Ukrainian language as a foreign language at the initial stage of study.It is noted that the most effective form of teaching critical thinking is the implementation of group work, which allows developing the qualities of independence, curiosity, the ability to make an independent assessment, provide reasoning for one’s opinion, and prove or refute one’s decision. The study gives the author grounds for certain conclusions that the technology of critical thinking development, creating a motivating favorable environment in the classroom, maximally adapts the learning process to the individual characteristics of foreign students.

The use of effective study strategies is important for academic achievement, yet research indicates that students often use relatively ineffective learning strategies. Though potent strategies to promote durable learning exist, there is a lack of theoretical and empirical work on how to train students to self-regulate use of these strategies successfully. We summarize a novel framework to do so: the knowledge, belief, commitment, and planning ( KBCP) framework. The assumptions are that learners must develop knowledge about a strategy and how to use it, believe that the strategy is effective for the individual learner, commit to the strategy, and create an action plan for carrying it out. We then describe an example of the KBCP framework as applied to a college course on teaching students effective learning strategies and self-regulation of these strategies in their college coursework. Lectures on specific learning strategies conveyed knowledge about the strategies, in-class demonstrations illustrated their efficacy (to support belief), and assignments required students to develop a plan for applying them to their courses and to implement the plan (to ensure commitment). Discussion focuses on the implications of including training in how to use learning strategies in psychology courses and curricula, and on the possible extension of such training to the teaching of other psychology content.

Native Teachers

There was an argument that native English teachers have many advantages than non-native English teachers and students preferred native to non-native teachers; however, the argument had to be assessed. Many researchers had been exploring students’ perceptions of native and non-native English teachers worldwide in formal education institutions. This study aimed to explore students’ perceptions of native and non-native English teachers in a non-formal education institution. This was a qualitative study based on a descriptive approach conducted using three instruments: close-ended questionnaire, semi-structured interview, and documentation. The study revealed that native and non-native English teachers had their own specific roles in the Indonesian context. Students needed native more than non-native teachers because the latter were bilingual having the same mother tongue as them, and they enabled a successful learning process because of the effective learning strategies they shared. Also, non-native teachers helped students deal with difficulties and challenges in their learning process.

This research aims to identify the learning styles of Portuguese higher education students in business administration, and in return to enable the identification of effective ways to foster the teaching-learning process. The research is divided into two parts: a theoretical approach and the analysis and discussion of the results obtained in light of the learning style of these students as characterized by the Felder-Silvernman model. The data were collected from 3 Portuguese Higher Education Institutions and seek to contribute to the improvement of the learning process in business management courses and to provide for adequate planning of learning strategies aimed at educational success. The statistical analysis of the data was performed with SPSS version 25.0 for Windows and included both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the study are consistent with the findings in the literature in similar contexts, suggesting that learning styles vary according to the individual. Regarding gender, a variable that has been studied relatively little to date, there is also evidence in the study that female students seem to use cognitive strategies significantly more than their male counterparts.

The success of learning in school is determined by the ability to find and use effective and creative learning strategies. Creativity is not only an important element in solving problems, but also an indicator that individuals have higher levels of excellence functions. Creativity character is one of the issues that has not been widely discussed and actualized in the context of education, especially in the focus of creating an effective learning process. A systematic review was used to examine previous research on creativity in the context of education. This study reviewed 450 scientific papers based on the analysis of the three experts who participated in the study. The results show that creativity has a specific model based on aspects of definition, characteristics of creative subjects, supporting factors, inhibiting factors, domain of creativity and creative strategies in school. Creativity is also a very important character and has a particular model both for students and teachers, and for the principals.

Principles Of Andragogy

The learning experiences of 740 University and Community College students from various programs have been examined from the andragogical perspective. Through the analysis of fifteen aspects of the learning process, discrepancies of real and expected learning experiences were traced to institutional, program and individual characteristics. While the principles of andragogy remain valid as instructional guidelines for postsecondary institutions, the present findings draw attention to the importance of intellectual maturity as a basic source for organizing meaningful learning for adult students.
