Teaching Methods in Adult Education. An Appraisal of the Effectiveness of Methods Used in Training Future Teachers

This paper's focus is to emphasize the most effective methods in educating adults to become teachers. By attending a teaching program in universities, participants experience intensive courses in a short period of time – one or two years depending on high school and university teaching requirements. The general assumption of the study is that interactive methods - focused on practice – create better learning situations then classic lectures. The study is focused on identifying the techniques that match with the desirable initial formation of adults to become teachers.
