PECULIARITIES OF ANDRAGOGS TRAINING FOR SYSTEM OF ADULT EDUCATION IN THE USA AND CANADA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Peculiarities of andragogs training in the USA and Canada are singled out. Competence approach is analyzed. Competence approach is aimed at formation of readiness to use effectively knowledge, skills, values, psychological peculiarities of people and information, human and material resources for achieving aim. Concept “competence” is viewed. Department of education in the USA views competence as complex of skills, which are necessary for fulfillment of a certain assignment. In other sources competence is viewed as ability to fulfill individual or social requirements and successful fulfillment of tasks. Departments of educational establishments that train andragogs are classified. Professional training of andragogs is conducted at administrative departments, which are called colleges or schools. There is only slight difference between college and school. Some universities have at their structure colleges and schools. Levels of higher education in the USA and Canada are systematized. Training of specialists is conducted at three levels: bachelor, master, doctor of philosophy. Programs of andragogs training are classified. Taking into account content peculiarities all programs of andragogs training are subdivided into three groups: specializing in adult education, specializing in leadership in adult education, interdisciplinary programs. Peculiarities of program “Adult education” master and doctor of philosophy levels are singled out. Comparative analysis of master and doctor of philosophy programs is conducted. Bachelor, master and doctor of philosophy programs have not only differences, but also some common features. Common features are the following integration of theory and practice and taking into account results of scientific research. It is shown that various master's programs are distinguished by the number of disciplines, content, and requirements for the master's degree program are higher. It has been found that PhD programs aim at deepening knowledge and acquiring andragogical competencies, developing research skills, and the doctoral programs in adult education focus on training leaders and practitioners. Research results demonstrate that that US and Canadian colleges and universities carry out not only the professional training of future professionals in the field of adult education, but also provide their further professional development through the creation of professional associations of adult education professionals, resource education centers, trainings, etc

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
