How can adult education illuminate the lives of learners? What is the role of educators, and what forms of instructional design are possible? This article draws upon the author's 30 years of experience in adult education, with analysis grounded in a series of previously published works. Pratt’s general teaching model is employed to explore the pedagogical landscape, while the SPA-C model serves as an analytical framework for the course“Studies on Adult Literacy Education.”The findings highlight three key principles for instructional design that seeks to ''dance with students’lives'': First, curriculum design should be rooted in experiential and contextual learning that reconstructs the relationship between the individual and the world. Second, adult educators must integrate knowledge with action, embodying life education through sustained teaching practices. Third, problem-based learning, supported by the SPA-C framework, plays a pivotal role in such instructional design. Ultimately, this study argues that teachers’self-knowledge is foundational to designing instruction that enlightens learners’lives, offering insights for teacher education and professional development. |
