Introduction  
fixed period, confirming compliance with the current position  
or required for the next career step. An important initiating  
factor in adult education are the personal factors of each  
person  motivation to learn, the desire for career growth and  
development, changing the field of activity that requires  
retraining and/ or advanced training, etc. That is why the  
ability to effectively and successfully teach adults is  
becoming increasingly important in continuous professional  
education.  
A sufficient attention in psychological and pedagogical  
research is paid to the issues of adults’ education and  
development of andragogy in particular the purpose and  
mission of adults’ education; value aspects of adult  
education; the content of adults’ education; quality  
assessment of adults’ education (3,10,13,17,18,19,27,28,29)  
are examined.  
The appeal to the theme of mechanisms’ development of  
adult education is due to modern trends in education,  
especially the paradigm of continuous education throughout  
occupational life activity. Indeed, the current situation in the  
labor market is such that the competitiveness of the  
professional is constantly in need of increasing due to the  
acquisition of new unique qualities that determine  
compliance (even better advance) with respect to  
occupational tasks. The external working environment is  
subject to continuous updating, so the basic occupational and  
personal competencies must be continuously updated and  
improved through the expansion of knowledge, skills and the  
formation of a professional’s readiness for conditionally  
creative non-standard solutions that contribute to the  
development of commodity-money relations. In addition to  
the external properties, there are internal qualities of the  
467

The specificity of adults’ education, according to the  
researchers (10,11,15,20,21,22,24,25), consists in the  
following positions that have both conditionally positive and  
conditionally negative impact on the essential characteristics  
of the process and require a fundamental change in the  
approach to learning:  
Thus,  
a
significant increase in the motivational  
characteristics of adult learners contributes to the formation  
of new mechanisms of educational information’s perception  
and increase its educational opportunities. Therefore, the use  
of the mechanisms of contextual learning theory is promising  
in the didactic design of adults’ education. However, there is  
also a difficulty that arises under the circumstances - the  
existing images of activity in the minds of an adult can be  
negative. For example, stereotypes of actions and ideas,  
developed technologies for obtaining, memorizing  
information algorithms for solving problems can complicate  
the assimilation of new material, preventing new images,  
adequate to the modern realities of the profession, to become  
examples of occupational activity. This conclusion leads us  
to the need to expand the methodology of modern adults’  
education by addressing the cognitive mechanisms of  
education.  
Cognition, as a deeply developed psychological term, is  
generally explained from the standpoint of thinking, memory,  
consciousness and perception, acting as the ability to process  
new information. Since in conditions of high information  
saturation, the principal factor is the acquisition of  
knowledge through the screening of information, the  
cognitive nature becomes the leading characteristic and the  
basic resource of the individual.

persistent stereotypes;

) Willingness to learn, due to explicit motives and abilities;  
) Practical orientation in the analysis of new information as  
a search for grounds for its occupational implementation;  
) Multiple nature of learning conditions temporary,

personal, occupational, social, etc.  
Thus, the leading role of the adult learner fundamentally  
changes the approach to learning and puts forward didactic  
tasks of designing the educational process based on the  
design of special relationships and the nature of the  
interaction between the teacher and the learner. It is  
necessary to develop universal mechanisms, technologies and  
algorithms for designing the content and didactic  
organization of adults’ education, contributing to the increase  
of learning productivity.

Methodological Framework  
At the same time, many pedagogical characteristics have  
cognitive nature, based on regularities in the processes of  
cognition  pedagogical models, technologies, components of  
competencies, diagnostic materials. The variety of  
possibilities of cognitive approach’s application to learning  
has generated a plurality of its interpretations in pedagogical  
and linguistic studies: communicative-cognitive autonomy;  
The theory of contextual learning of A.A. Verbitsky (30,31)  
in the simplified version can be stated in the following theses:  
The context is presented as a unit of measurement of the  
person internal features and the environment, which  
determines his/her perception and actions in the framework  
of training;  
the gap between the fundamental difference between  
cognitive  
competence;  
cognitive  
skills;  
cognitive-  
educational and occupational activities is significantly  
reduced in the modelling of the subject, social and moral  
content of education (semiotic, simulation and social  
models), contributing to the unity of the theory and practice  
of education and the formation of real readiness for the  
occupation;  
communicative skills, cognitive management (5,12). Thus,  
there is a certain instrumental base, reflecting the subjective  
essence of the learning process, which fully meets modern  
ideas about the intellectualization and individualization of  
education, transforming didactic relations.  
Any occupational sphere continuously recreates a number  
of occupational situations, the synthesis and analysis of  
which, built on the basis of human cognitive resources,  
determines the level of professionalism of the employee's  
actions and his/her social responsibility for the  
implementation of occupational actions. This implies the  
existence of a certain ideal (pattern of actions, image), taking  
into account personal abilities, opportunities for personal,  
intellectual and physical development, necessary for modern  
society. The established target qualities become the  
educational reference point, being realized in educational  
programs, the content of education, educational and  
methodical maintenance of educational process.  
Moreover, here there is a natural question how in  
modern conditions to provide effective occupational training  
of adults, taking into account social needs of society and  
cognitive features of the personality? Obviously, it requires a  
fundamentally new organization of the pedagogical process  
and the creation of conditions for the development of  
personal cognitive mechanisms, the formation of universal  
social qualities, the totality of which will determine the  
solution of occupational problems. The methodological basis  
for the resolution of the existing contradiction can be socio-  
cognitive approach, interpreted by us from the point of view  
Unification of pedagogical management and self-  
management of the student through a joint system of goal-  
setting and gradual achievement of each goal by learners;  
Emphasis on the functionality of training through the  
continuous resolution of ambiguous subject situations, as  
close as possible to a holistic occupational activity.  
This psychological and pedagogical theory, created more  
than 40 years ago, firmly occupies its place in the Russian  
pedagogical practice. The introduction of the competence  
paradigm in all levels of education, to some extent caused a  
new round of actualization of the theory due to its functional  
activity of the student through the maximum approximation  
to future practice. At the same time, the theory of contextual  
learning allows us to preserve the Russian traditions of  
formation through the formation of moral experience of not  
only subject-technological, but also social and moral  
competencies, that is, training and education within the  
educational process (32).  
The pedagogical potential of this theory in adults’ education  
is obvious: 1) there is an activity of students, acting because  
of motivation to learn; 2) there is a space-time context past–  
presentfuture, when there is a past experience, mastered  
new material and a model of future activity; 3) there is a clear  
understanding of their place in the occupation and its social  
role, determining the process and results of learning.

conditions) with constant verification of the accuracy of this  
approximation. In this context, the implementation of the  
iteration principle provides support for the balance (internal  
balance of the person, the balance of the educational  
organization, the balance of the education system as a whole)  
in achieving the planned goals, compliance with training  
standards and labor market requirements in the event of  
significant changes of external and/or internal conditions of  
existence. With each iterative cycle, there is a movement to  
achieve the target results on the chosen trajectory of  
professional development, which allows the projection of the  
established mission of professional development.  
(4,23). One of the main provisions of this approach is that the  
person acquires meanings in the above-mentioned realities of  
the objective world, culture and speech through social  
interaction, understanding the sociality as a system that forms  
its life -many effective manifestations in a variety of life  
situations, including occupational. Thus, the base of activity  
is the initial social attitudes that determine the boundaries of  
action  there is a transfer of established forms of behavior,  
adaptation and development of the individual. The initial  
context of training influences semantic formations,  
developing them, and determines any transformations of the  
personality, formation of its new qualities. No less important  
in the design of the pedagogical process is the understanding  
of the conditional interval to achieve the goal  cognitive  
abilities determine the upper limit of possibilities, and  
properly organized conditions of educational and  
occupational activity the lower limit.  
Since adults’ education is a mass phenomenon and not an  
individual one, it is important to rely on stable pedagogical  
regularities and connections when designing the content of  
education taking into account cognitive mechanisms.  
Differentiation and individual approach should be present  
when students independently choose educational trajectories,  
scaling and interpretation of learning outcomes for  
pedagogical diagnosis and correction. The influence of  
society and the necessary return from the profession has a  
significant impact on the cognitive development of the  
individual. Subjectivity, thus, will refer only to the internal,  
personal environment of professional’s formation, and will  
determine the conditional rank of its success in occupational  
activity based on cognitive characteristics.  
The principle of integration, which involves the  
interconnection and interdependence of the components of  
the adult learning system and personal cognitive  
characteristics of learning. Integration is considered by us,  
firstly, as the degree of connection between the components  
of the adults’ education system and the system of  
occupational growth of the student; secondly, as the process  
of formation of professional growth integrity in the unity of  
personal, occupational, economic, educational and other  
needs of the student, initiating professional growth; thirdly,  
as a way of designing the content of occupational training in  
the integration of subject (branch), pedagogical and personal-  
developing training. At the same time, the development of  
the system is reproduced by the duality of structures  from  
the level of totality to individuals and from the level of  
individuality to the level of totality, that is, cyclically from  
differentiation to integration and back.  
The principle of activity, involving the positioning of the  
adult learner as an equal subject of the learning process and,  
consequently, determining its full involvement in the  
education process. This principle is reflected both in the  
method of choice of forms of training and in the nature of  
training: the content and methods of work. The main  
characteristics of such training is the leading role of the  
student in the construction and implementation of the training  
program within their own cognitive styles, and at the same  
time the joint activities of the student and the educator in the  
preparation and implementation of the educational process.  
Defining in this process are the relationship and the nature of  
the interaction between the teacher and the learner expressed  
in practice in the justification and selection of productive  
educational technologies.  
Contextual theory of education and socio-cognitive  
orientation set the following principles for the design of  
adults’ education:  
The principle of continuity based on the active role of the  
adult learner in the educational process and the possible  
diverse trajectories of his/her career. Continuity determines  
the integrity of the system, consisting of separate discrete  
stages of professional growth, and is completed only at the  
end of employment, emphasizing the lack of discreteness  
between the points of professional growth of the teacher.  
Thus, continuity is considered as the prevention of empty  
spaces between coming knowledge, formed competencies  
and potential development of the educational process, which  
determine the interconnection of transitions from one point of  
professional growth to another;  
The formulated methodological position and didactic  
conditions of the institution of adults’ education determined  
by these principles form the boundaries of productive  
learning technologies’ design. An important measure of  
interaction is the educational and occupational experience  
that determines the projection of social interaction on the  
cognitive development of the student, which allows the use of  
individual reserves and mechanisms of self-organization in  
the educational activities of adults.  
The principle of self-development, focusing on  
personality-oriented positions and the ratio of cognitive  
activity of the adult learner, its self-development and  
overcoming internal barriers. Self-educational need not only  
meets the needs of human creative development, but also  
works on the ideology of the modern world, when the  
intensity of obsolescence of knowledge and methods of  
action is proportional to its information content. In these  
conditions, nothing can be compared with the speed of self-  
education, taking place here and now, and requiring only an  
internal personal organization, becoming the most important  
source of professional growth;

tasks as the main practical educational technology in adult  
education. Here all the mentioned methodological positions  
are actualized: external context as subject, socio-cultural,  
spatial-temporal and other characteristics of the situation, and  
internal context as individual psychological features,  
cognitive style and the presence of the image (ideal) of goals  
and professional actions. This determines the implementation  
of the basic idea of contextual learning and socio-cognitive  
approach assignment of new competencies through the  
images of mastered occupationally practical practice.  
Stage 2. Construction or choice of a situation model that  
reflects the studied activity. Here, the drama of the situation  
and the plot of the problem are fundamental, the formulation  
with mutually exclusive conditions requiring moral or  
occupationally significant choice is possible.  
Stage 3. Analysis of information in the subject area regarding  
the model of the situation. The reality of the situation is  
necessary, it is important that the number of conditions was  
necessary and sufficient to describe the situation or leave a  
variety of choice for the student. In addition, the position of  
the task is fundamental  the search for new knowledge or  
development of existing skills, which affects the typology of  
the task, its characteristics, consequences, ways of solving.  
Stage 4. Diagnostics of validity of a situational problem. We  
are talking about conducting a methodical educational  
experiment, built on a particular scheme, to determine the  
effectiveness of the situational problem, which allows  
determining the characteristics of the structure of the  
situation, its functions, interaction with the surrounding and  
the internal environment. In the presence of multiple  
solutions to the problem, it is important to clarify the  
conditions that define the limitations of the context of the  
solution, the choice of the most optimal way out of the  
situation.  
Situational tasks in the most General case are  
a
problematic occupational meta-subject situation, close to  
professional practice, characterizing its functional  
dependencies, resource conditions, requirements for decision-  
making or possible limitations (1,2,16,26). The solution of  
this problem is to develop an occupationally value solution  
that optimizes the proposed situation.  
Pedagogical potential of situational problems is the need  
to compare the requirements, conditions, known-unknown,  
multifactorial occupationally significant and moral choice,  
reproductive, productive, intensive creative activity of the  
student. In the most General case, the formulation of  
situational objectives should include the following  
components:  
The presence of the target;  
Stage 6. Preparation of the final version of the situational  
problem and the introduction of situational tasks in the  
practice of training. This stage requires the preparation of  
didactic materials and development of recommendations on  
the forms of interaction between students and the teacher

Situational problem is the result of reflexing of  
We give examples of the developed situational tasks for  
occupational experience. The plot and facts of the situational  
problem should be as close as possible to real life, to involve  
not only real working situations, but also extra-working  
moments (especially for socially important professions). It is  
extremely important to have many options for action due to  
the level of professionalism, morals, requirements of the  
profession, maintaining security, etc. The educational  
purpose of the situational problem can be reduced to the  
consolidation of knowledge, skills and behavior (decision-  
making) of students in this situation or be a model for  
obtaining new occupationally-oriented knowledge and  
behavior in the situation.

also possible to involve in the preparation of tasks  
practitioners). We present an algorithm for constructing  
situational tasks that contributes to the technologization of  
the process of developing didactic materials for adult  
education, taking into account their experience.  
Stage 1. The formation of educational goals. This stage  
includes determining the place of the situational problem in  
the structure of the training course (mini-problem, individual  
or group project, direct solution or solution in the preliminary  
preparation, the level of complexity). It is recommended to  
solve problems at the first stages of training in the presence  
of a teacher to develop skills to solve them. It is also  
important to analyze the experience in the analyzed area, the  
level of occupational skills and corporate culture. It is useful  
to solve the same problems (or solve the same situation with  
the replacement of conditions) at different stages of training.

When formulating tasks based on the theory of contextual  
learning (setting occupational boundaries), socio-cognitive  
approach (taking into account the ideal images and cognitive  
style of the adult learner) and the selected principles of  
learning (forming the subject activity of the teacher and the  
student), it is important to check the situational problem of  
pedagogical modeling (resolution of the situation). It seems  
efficient to use the cyclic model of D.A. Kolb, R.E. Boyatzis

and Ch. Mainemelis (2001) as a method of testing the  
hypothesis of the legitimacy of the development of the  
situation (9). Positive answers to each of the questions will  
determine the accuracy of the formulation of the situational  
problem:  
(diligence, competitiveness), moral (feeling like a person,  
mastering the skills of cooperation and partnership), mental  
(ability to listen, memorize, analyze the situation, to  
comprehend a large amount of information), motivational-  
volitional (strengthening the will, mobilization of their forces  
and capabilities, defending their point of view, recognition of  
others’ opinion).

We propose a universal algorithm for step-by-step  
diagnosis of solving situational problems, based on  
pedagogical experience and expert ranking of the stages’  
importance and effectiveness for students’ solving problems  
(table 3). Each of the components of the situational task is  
aimed at the actualization, formation or development of

. Deducing of output knowledge.  
Thus, the starting point of adult education is the acquisition  
of specific experience, which provides material for cyclic  
occupational and personal development.  
From the pedagogical point of view, the principle is not only  
the conditional correctness of situational problems’ solution,  
but also the mechanism of its solution, creative approach,  
non-standard answers. No less important is the motivation of  
moral choice, isolating the system of values of the adult  
learner and demonstrating the full range of his/her  
occupational and cultural competencies in the context of  
occupational difficulties. Therefore, pedagogical diagnosis of  
solving situational problems’ course is an important element  
of training, bearing it and self-reflective nature, contributing  
to the main directions of personal development: occupational  
respectively, the implementation of each of the stages should  
be evaluated. The basis of the diagnosis is necessary point  
scaling; the resulting sum is the result of situational tasks’  
decision.  
7
An important factor in the productivity of the presented  
diagnostic system is the analysis of each step and its  
importance for training. Thus, even if the result of solving a  
situational problem is not conditionally correct, it is possible  
to diagnose many occupational and personal characteristics  
of the student. It should also be noted that the diagnosis of  
solving situational problems carried out in this way can be  
applied to specific actions of students (during game and/or  
simulation tasks), oral answers, group or individual forms,  
developed projects with written argumentation, etc.

Discussion and Conclusion  
The concept of continuing education provides, firstly, a  
more rational distribution of periods of training and  
employment of a person throughout his/her life; secondly, the  
division of training into phases of initial (basic) and  
subsequent (after basic) education; thirdly, the acquisition of  
the necessary human skills, knowledge, qualities, personal  
orientations as the need arises in them. According to the basic  
assumptions of adult education (self-direction, experience,  
readiness for learning, the rapid implementation of acquired  
competencies, the specific learning environment) the content  
of their training should initiate its unique characteristics as a  
person and a professional, consider the experience of the  
profession, interests, motives and at the same time, have the  
potential for continuous development and self-realization,  
using their own creative and evaluative mechanisms

Thus, as a learning technology, situational tasks in adult  
education, having a high pedagogical potential, implement
