Heutagogy in education has emerged as a concept that will support education by giving students the choice of self-determined learning (SDL). However, any educational level can incorporate this strategy. The goal of this literature review is to examine the advantages and drawbacks of using the Heutagogy method in education. This systematic literature review examines the themes emerging from articles identified through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses approach to systematic reviews. Out of 123 papers from 2018 to 2022, 27 were extracted using two databases, Web of Science and Scopus, while considering inclusion and exclusion parameters. According to the literature study, there are several advantages to using the Heutagogy approach in education, such as improved mentoring skills for the Heutagogy approach, increased SDL among adult students and the development of Information and Communication Technology abilities. Subsequently, the Heutagogy approach's adoption in education does face significant difficulties. Teachers, adult students and environmental factors are some of these difficulties. It is intended that this systematic literature evaluation would give educators a better grasp of the extent to which the Heutagogy approach would reshape education.

The problem of adult education is actualized in the context of today, due to the introduction of continuing education and the need for lifelong learning. One of the priorities of education is always relevant to the preparation and development of the staffing potential of the education system, including adult education. The leading specialist in this field is andragogue as a specialist in training, counseling, providing social assistance and performing organizational and managerial functions in the adult environment. The relevance and demand for the training of andragogues is conditioned by the growing influence of education on the course of socioeconomic , political, and cultural development of the world community. In order to find out the real state of andragogue preparation in Ukraine, the authors developed and tested a questionnaire of online adult education experts using the Google form. The results of the study show that representatives of state institutions, non-governmental organizations and public associations have enough scientific and practically oriented experience in the field of adult education. Their activities are centered around providing adult education and counseling services to careers, mobility, retraining and life trajectory design. The need for training andragogues as specialists in the field of adult education capable of effectively organizing the adult learning process has been identified. Respondents identified significant personal qualities of the andragogue: organizational and communicative abilities, broad outlook, emotional stability, availability of analytical, prognostic and project skills and cognitive activity.

Thirdly, educational conditions at the military academies drastically differ from those at the civil universities.…”
