Opis

There is a general notion that adult education literature supports the idea that teaching adults should be approached in a different way than teaching children. Adult learners include working adults with family responsibilities, older workers who may not feel confident about returning to school and people who are currently in the workforce that need to upgrade skills and knowledge. Demonstrates the view that Information and Communication Technologies should not be considered as a neutral teaching medium, but instead be implemented under pedagogical conditions, aiming at the development of critical thinking through their creative integration into the social and cultural context.
