Adults have enough knowledge about the realty of life. they all learned with experience and observation but some formal education is also exigent. It is possible by education.
Adults can learn two ways
1- through their experiences
2- They can enhance their education level through distance learning programs or attending part time institutes providing facilities.
Not sure what do you wish to know in particular. But adult learning theory is known as androgogy and the principles of adult learning is as follows, which I have also written in my personal blog:
[list]
Adults need to know why they need to learn something
[/list]
[list]
Adults need to learn experientially
[/list]
[list]
Adults approach learning as problem-solving
[/list]
[list]
Adults learn best when the topic is of immediate value
[/list]
The definition of Adult learning cycle is " the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. Knowledge is the combinations of grasping and transforming experience."
(1) experience viz. observation of facts
(2) Processing the observations
(3) generalizing on basis of processed experience and finally
(4) application of the generalized rules to concrete issues
