New Horizons in Adult Education & Human Resource Development, v34 n2 p49-52 Spr 2022
With the COVID-19 pandemic, adult learning and education has turned toward the field of health. Group behavior is as effective as individual attitudes and skills in coping with the pandemic and slowing the spread of the disease. In this process, adults' health literacy skills are vital in their strategies to cope with the pandemic. This paper is aimed to examine the learning needs of adults that have emerged with the pandemic from the perspective of Turkey. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the key role of education as part of lifelong learning, in the context of adult health literacy skills and managing disaster processes.
