Ana Šuran, Anita Zovko

Abstract


Adult education is an important part of the life of every individual and community because the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies ensures the progress of society. Every state that strives for the development and creation of a knowledge society is aware of the importance of providing educational opportunities for people at all periods of human life. Croatia has long recognized the importance of adult education in the concept of lifelong learning. Following that, qualitative research was conducted to examine the opinions of 154 students of the teacher's module on adult education. Among other things, answers were given to questions related to student notions of adult education, the importance, and functions of adult education, the role of educators in adult education, the position and prospects of adult education in Croatia. Although it was expected that students-future professors will express positive opinions, perceptions, and expectations related to adult education, some of the students' answers are quite indicative and suggest that teacher education programs should certainly include content that deals with adult education to academic citizens became fully aware of its importance and acquired certain competencies for working with adults.
