Summary:
ABSTRACT
Physical Education Instructors, who are integrated in the workforce of the Ο.C.S.Y of the municipality of Athens, are directly involved in the adult Education field, as they are employed to train adults, despite the fact that no systematic effort has been made on behalf of the municipality to educate them on the this specific scientific field. The trainees that participate in the athletic programs, which are designed and actualized by P.E. Instructors, are adults with different needs, experiences and theoretic concerns. Therefore, it is of great importance that P.E. Instructors are familiar with the basic principles and the methodology of Adult Education, since they are orientated towards adults.
Aim of this research is to canvass the educational needs of P.E. Instructors on the field of Adult Education so as to develop an Educational Program that corresponds to the basic principles and the methodology of Adult Education.
The participants in this research are 100 P.E. Instructors of the Ο.C.S.Y of the municipality of Athens, who were asked to fill in a questionnaire, which was the basic research tool. Additionally three personal interviews with professors were conducted so as to confirm the validity of the questionnaire.
Based on the results of the research, the instructors are aware of the learning principles of adult students, they adopt them and accept them since these principles are related to the requirements of effective learning and the basic characteristics of adult learners. The Instructors take into account the way adults learn, they face difficulties as far as the methodology of Adult Education, the development of modules, the first session, and the role of the trainer are concerned. The vast majority of the Instructors/ Trainers seek to Adult Education on themes such as ‘Adult Education Methodology’, ‘Participatory Educational Techniques’ and ‘Adult Education Course Development’. They prefer short term and intensive seminars held by members of Universities and members of H.O.U.
