TEACHERS IN ADULT EDUCATION: CASES OF CROATIA AND SERBIA

Ideja obrazovanja odraslih potječe iz drevnih civilizacija. To je važna povijesna i civilizacijska pojava te prirodna karakteristika ljudskog društva kroz njegov rast i razvoj. Ključnu ulogu u obrazovanju odraslih imaju andragoški djelatnici. Njihove kompetencije mogu se podijeliti u dvije kategorije – generičke i specifične. U Hrvatskoj i Srbiji profesionalni razvoj andragoških djelatnika većinski se odvija u sklopu njihovog andragoškog rada i iskustva u praksi. U sustavu obrazovanja odraslih obiju država prevladavaju neformalni oblici obrazovanja. Zakoni o obrazovanju odraslih obiju država jako su slični jer imaju slične odredbe, ciljeve te programe obrazovanja odraslih.The idea of adult education comes from ancient civilizations.
