Comunication in adult education: Vocatinal Training Institute case

The process of communication is the connecting link of all interpersonal, group or public interactions of a man. Knowledge of communication theory and the improvement of communication skills lead to the effectiveness of correct coding and decoding of the message. The evolution of communication between instructor and learner during the educational practice largely determines its successful outcome. Especially in the field of adult education, as it appears from relevant theories, the active participation of the trainees is foreseen, in order to achieve the learning, the crystallization and the reconstruction of attitudes, perceptions, opinions and beliefs. The goal of lifelong learning for individuals is to develop all the interrelated qualifications required to meet modern requirements. This paper attempts to approach the process of communication in adult education and those involved in it as well as possible obstacles that complicate the beliefs of adult learners. After reviewing the theories of adult education and the characteristics of those involved in it as well as the study of the communication process, the point of view of the trainees in Private Vocational Training Institutes was approached in order to investigate their point of view on the communication relationship between them and their trainers as well and the possible obstacles that make it difficult.
