Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine what kind of reform will be provided by the General Directorate of Lifelong Learning, which was reconstructed in 2011, in their education policy based on theories of adult education in Public Education Centers such as “adult educator qualifications”, “content formation”, selection of methodology in teaching courses” and “achievement evaluation”. This research has questioned some dimensions of education programs, in the Ministry of Education with some of the provinces of Ankara and Mersin Public Education Centers. Open ended question survey was applied to collect the data. The result of the research shows that the content of the program comes from the center as a modular program. There is no training center for adult educators in Turkey. Teachers coming from different academic ranks and instructors specialised in their fields give courses in these institutions. Their teaching methods are compatible with pedagogy. Test type exams are applied. Moreover, like the other newly EU participant countries, Turkey has accepted Life Long Learning programs without preliminary preparations.
