Exploring Adult Education Through Learning Theory
Journal · pp. 227-260
Abstract

This research uses the Skill Spectrum model to examine adult education’s multiple proficiency ideas. It explores proficiency theory’s theoretical foundations, historical development, important ideas, and its different talents. The study emphasizes the importance of obtaining and assessing competency through a comprehensive literature analysis on cognitive capacity, instructional methodologies, technology’s role in skill development, and tailored learning plans. The issues of proficiency assessment, especially in adult education, and comparative and longitudinal analyses to improve skill development are highlighted. This study integrates ideas from cognitive development, motor skill performance, and virtual reality training to provide a comprehensive view of competency, its assessment, and its use in adult learning. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
