Abstract

The intensity of transformation processes and the significant pace of globalization in social relations development are increasingly creating new challenges for the educational system. As a result, they define the role of education as a crucial area that shapes the effectiveness of social and economic progress. Today, special attention is paid to adult education. It can be described by personalization of direction in development, close interconnection with other socio-political institutions, and the ability to increase Ukraine's competitiveness in all spheres (science, politics, economy, social sphere, etc.). The article aims to identify the peculiarities and key trends of adult education in Ukraine. Research goals also include identifying key factors of adult education in contemporary society, the fundamental principles of the development of this sphere, and the problems of adult education development as a structural element of the modern education system. During the research, descriptive, comparative, and analytical-bibliographic methods were applied to study the scientific literature on adult education issues. Systemic-structural, comparative, logical-linguistic methods, abstraction, and idealization were used to analyze and process data in the research area.
