Abstract: Education is a principally organized endeavor to provide socioeconomically rich learning engagements and creating conducive environment to the learners to manifest their ingenuities into a valuable human being through lifelong learning; empowered with spiritual, critical, intellectual, judicial, knowledge, physical, psychomotor, compassion and foresight to make the learner frugal, caring, self-dependent, capable, competent, courageous and ready to help community voluntarily. Rigid formal educational system and its traditional method of teaching-learning process for adult learners who are majority and productive group of the society alone are not effective to reach every group of the society especially school dropouts. This brings a negative impact on learner’s future life and community at large. In this context, adults means productive group of the society who are seeking external intellectual inputs or driving force which are guidance, motivation, direction, encouragement and facilitation from their instructors for their better achievement through learner-centered approach. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to bring critical analysis of viewpoints on method and principle of teaching-learning process for paradigm shift on method of adult education from theoretical perspective and aimed to suggest possible solutions for further implementation.
