Didactic predisposition: montage of adult education courses

Abstract

In all instruction plannings there exist some presuppositions which determine the didactic model. The ensemble of presuppositions conform the “didactic predisposition” and, although we analyze some incidents in the permanent formation of adults, we are conscient of many others. Therefore, it is an approximative study and does not in any way pretend to be exhaustive. The two first necessary categories in a pre-didactic model for the formation of adults are: a) the interest-necessity of this age. b) the accumulated experience for its vital circumstances. The content resources and strategies which summarize the instruction processes are determined by the interest-necessity category. But it could occur that in a case of an interesting instruction objective for the social group, there is no individual interest: if this is the case, there is a need to create first the need of dominating the objective and reinforce the interest afterwards. The second category -the experience- determine the method and as consequence, the technics. The common characteristic of the method is manifested in the empirocentric spacing method: from simple to complex and from the nearest to the furthest; both in the field of vital experience of adults. In the combination of interest-necessity and experiences are born also the types of courses of permanent education for adults. In general, and according to the OIT there are 4 types of courses: a) basic knowledge,b) professional and technical formation, c) socio-economic instruction, d) cultural and scientific instruction. In practice, there is a big difference between countries which cover the basic schooling period in a 99% level and those which are defined by a high level of illiteracy. The former can start the formation beginning from the second type; developing countries have to invest all its potentials to cover basic education. From this, the implications which the adult members of the communityhave, on the level of equal opportunities among peoples can be deduced, depending whether they pertain to developped or underdevelopped country.
