multibillion-dollar enterprise has arisen in response to adult learning
interests-an enterprice these spends more dollars than elementary school, high

continuing education is characterized by a bewildering array of program,
agencies, and personnel working to assist adults in their learning. It is
precisely the focus on adult as learners, how ever, that unites an otherwise
extraordinary diverse field. It is also the nature of adults as learners and
distinguishing charateristics of the adult learning process that differentiate
adult education from other kinds of education.
Preparation for
work with adult learners ranges from on the job training to formal graduate
course work, but key component of all the different modes of preparation is
understanding adult learners and how they lern best. To facilitate the process
of learning, it is especially importent to know who the adult learners is, why
adults are involved in learning ability. Learning adulthood addresses these
topic among others.[1]

B.DISCUSSION
Syllabus
and Content.
A group of
adult education, anxious to lern, can be a formidable one for a new and
experinced teacher to meet. Many of those helping in adult clases are not
teacher by profession and to begin with, at least, they will be unsure os
themselves. The most effective way of building up confidence quickly is to be
sure of one subject matters, have the demonstration, lecturer of course well
mapped out beforehand and have a few trick of the trade ready to hand to enable
the subject to be taught in the best and most understandable manner.
The different
ways in which student and subject can be grouped into lecturer, seminars,
weekend school. Some subject are best suited to one form of group organization,
others will be best suited to another form. When planning the course, careful
thought should be given to this framework within which the subject matter is to
be arranged and the appropriate one, which suits the students and tutor best,
should be chosen.
The problem involved
in the arragement of teaching matters vary from one type of adult education to
another.[2]
a
syllabus provides a focus for what should be studied, a long with a rasionale
for how the content should be selected and ordered.
Basic
Rules When Arranging a Syllabus.
It is worth mentionning some of most useful rules which experince
has shown lead to the most acceptable teaching result :
1.
Begin
with the known and work toward the unknown. Here the student is quickly able to
relate his new knowledge to that which he already has and it makes it more
understandable and useful.
Exsample from this basic
We
want to make syllabus for english lesson, the frist learning for the beginner
is knowing the vocab at english before going to sentence or story, the benefit
from this basic is to facilitate adult when learning at english lesson.
2.
Proceed
from the concrete to the abstract. Especially in fundamental education where
the level of student is such that theory cannot easily be grasped. Another way
of pharasing this is to proceed from the particular to the general, where
general principles are built up from individual cases.
Examples from this basic
3.
Move
from the easy to the more difficult. With ideas and teachniques, this rules
should always be followed. More complicated ideas and teachques can be
gradually introducted as those learning grasp the simplifed form first.
Examples from this basic
When a teacher teach khot lesson, obligation for teacher to start
from the easy to the more difficult, exsample, a teacher order the sutdens to
draw the letter so continue to draw the vocab, after that continue to draw the
two vocab and the last to sentence. For beginner, a teacher has to order them
to draw from the easy sentence to difficult sentence.
Relationship between androgogy and syllabus is education, a
education need a syllabus for planning when lern the adult, so that teaching
and learning activity run smoothly to acieve its objectives, as we know,
andragogy without syllabus it is nonsens there is not destination.
