ADULT LEARNING INTRODUCTION

Democracy can succeed only when the general public is adequately educated in the principles and implications of the same. This is possible only when the people are literate. So after the achievement of independence our leaders planned to promote education of the illiterate adult who were entitled to vote.

PHILOSOPHY OF ADULT EDUCATION Adult education does not imply only to make adult literate. In fact, it means to educate total personality of the adult and adult literacy is of fundamental importance for the all round development of the country. We make them literate in other words we help them to acquire command over the tools of knowledge or reading, in acquiring this command, we strive to educate them into economic, social and political problems of the day in order that they may become intelligent citizens for taking right decisions when they are faced with a number of alternatives. If they fail to acquire this skill, the mean and self centered people will exploit them for their own interest. Consequently, the democracy will fail and will yield place to dictatorship. From the above it is clear that the purpose of adult learning is not merely to impart bookish knowledge. In fact it aims at education of the total personality of the adult. This will possible only when we try to develop in them various types of skill with a view to make them successful and socially useful members of the society. We have to help the adult to acquire useful knowledge in professional, political, economic and social spheres.

ADULT LEARNING IN INDIA

Adult education must e taken up earnestly and systematically. Much has been done in the area of adult education in many Western countries. In their comparison e have done very little in this field. In the Western countries adult education has been made available to laborer, women and a many service-class people. Though adult education they have not been made only literate, but they have also further developed their professional skills in commerce, industry, technology and science. They are given free education evening and part-time day classes and University extension classes have been arranged for the benefit of these people. So far we have been able to do a little in this field.

PHILOSOPHY

Continuing nursing education is concerned with the development of the nurses as a person, a practitioner and a citizen. These are closely interrelated, but each must be considered in indentifying philosophy of education. Nurse’s philosophy of life, nursing and education, belief, etc. will influence the philosophy of continuing nursing education. It focuses on individual learner. Philosophy provides a direction for action, it is useful to think through one’s personal philosophy. The educator has to think through his personal values and belief. One’s personal philosophy of education is expresses not by what he says he believes, but by what he does, what one believes about learning. Philosophy is based on values social change. The thoughtful teacher recognizes that one’s philosophy of education is always an emerging one, rather than a static one. Learning must be a continues process throughout the lifespan, not limited to formal courses of study. Facts are more meaningful and more readily learned when there is an opportunity for immediate application.

ELEMENTS The philosophies of continuing nursing education recognize the 1) Learner as a person, as a nurse and as a citizen. Thus continuing nursing education is seen as a totality, a sound philosophy of education recognizes all three aspects of lifelong learning.  Diversity is a part of learning process and contributes to the development of the individual so the teacher has to make the learner to involve in nursing and non-nursing courses, e.g. music, dance, participating in extra-curricular activities.
