motivation, learning styles, needs, interests or different objectives).
The chapter brings into focus three categories of methods used in working with
adults, emphasizing the importance of specific knowledge and how these methods work,
adaptation to the specific content and learners particularities.
What the theoretical support and the practical applications of this chapter aim is the

CHAPTER SUMMARY
The chapter addresses issues considered relevant to adult education. Through four
chapters, there are important theoretical and practical aspects proposed for working with the
adults.
The first chapter aims to achieve some differentiation based on the main concepts of
adult education. Having clarified these issues, you go to identifying the aims of adult
education and surprise the domains for action of adult education and the areas that can be
exploited by them. The theoretical and practical applications of this chapter concerns the
proper use of specific conceptual apparatus of adult education and also the skills training and
practice in educational practice applying the concepts and theories of adult education.
The second chapter proposes a comparison between two models of education: for
children and for adults, highlighting the strengths and the weaknesses, the values and the
limits of their use in educational practice. The theoretical and practical applications of this
chapter aim the training students' ability to adapt quickly to new context and to assume
responsible roles working with adults, but also new roles and competencies. They also
6
practiced their communication skills with adults and their approach depending on the
particularities of the educational process.
The third chapter outlines the three variables that confer specificity to adult learning
and differentiates it from child learning. The theoretical and practical applications of this
chapter aim to stimulate thinking and design of educational activities with adults, given the
specificity of these stages of life. There are also trained the skills to work with adults, taking
into account the characteristics of this category of learners.
The fourth chapter brings into focus three categories of methods used in working with

methods, adaptation to the specific content and learners. The theoretical and practical
applications of this chapter aim to develop effective strategies to practice in teaching /
learning in adulthood, adapted to the specific content and learners. There are also practiced
skills in working with teaching methods and strategies appropriate to the purpose and
features of adult groups.
