Low skilled take their qualifications "one step up"
Adult learning is recognized as a key component of lifelong learning and Member States are required to remove barriers to participation, to increase overall quality and efficiency in adult learning, to speed up the process of validation and recognition and to ensure sufficient investment in and monitoring of the field (European Commission, 2006, 2007; European Parliament, 2008; European Council, 2008). It is unanimously recognized that adult learning can play a pivotal role in meeting the goals of the Lisbon Strategy, by fostering social cohesion, providing citizens with the skills required to find new jobs and helping Europe to better respond to the challenges of globalisation. Such needs are taken into consideration in this Volume where the main issues faced are related to what 33 European countries have been doing in order to raise the skills levels of low-skilled workers, address the problem of the high number of early school leavers, combat social exclusion, ensure the efficiency, effectiveness, quality of adult learning.
Researches in Adult Learning and Education: The European Dimension
The book represents several contributions that guide the readers in the comprehension of the paradigmatic shift from adult/lifelong education, to adult/lifelong learning. At the same time it presents the contexts where adults learn: the organized contexts, such as the institutions and services, and the informal contexts. The book is one of a series dedicated to adult learning and education developed under the auspices of ESRALE (European Studies and Research in Adult Learning and Education) an EU supported project. Its companion books are Maria Slowey (ed.) Comparative Adult Education and Learning. Authors and Texts and Vanna Boffo, Paolo Federighi, Ekkehard Nuissl, Empirical Research Methodology in Adult Learning and Education. Authors and Texts.
International Teaching and Learning Settings in the Academic Professionalisation of Adult Education
Academic education plays an important role in the development of professionalism of adult educators. Given the interconnectedness of adult education with global and international developments, this international and comparative study illustrates the need for a systematic and comprehensive internationalisation of adult education programmes and the relevance of international teaching and learning settings for the development of professionalism in adult education. Based on focus group and graduate interviews of three master’s programmes with a focus on adult education at the Universities of Würzburg, Belgrade and Florence, similarities and differences in the internationalisation of the programmes are revealed and supporting factors for the development of professionalism are highlighted.
Tools for Policy Learning and Policy Transfer
Die fünf englischsprachigen Beiträge dokumentieren das empirische Material, die methodische Durchführung und die Präsentation des Support-Systems zur Unterstützung und Beschleunigung des Lern- und Innovationstransfers zwischen den europäischen Regionen, die von der EU im Rahmen von Prevalet geförderte wurde. Das in diesem Kontext entwickelte, web-basierte Support-Netzwerk Soft Open Method of Coordination (SMOC) soll die Kooperation zwischen regionalen Regierungen in Weiterbildungsfragen vereinfachen und steht allen an Weiterbildung interessierten Institutionen als Plattform für Information und Austausch zur Verfügung. Die für diese Zusammenarbeit entwickelten Konzepte stellt der Band "Learning among Regional Governments" (978-3-7639-3577-2) vor.
The Corrigible and the Incorrigible

Handbook of Technical and Vocational Education and Training Research
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) research has become a recognized and well-defined area of interdisciplinary research. This is the first handbook of its kind that specifically concentrates on research and research methods in TVET. The book’s sections focus on particular aspects of the field, starting with a presentation of the genesis of TVET research. They further feature research in relation to policy, planning and practice. Various areas of TVET research are covered, including on the vocational disciplines and on TVET systems. Case studies illustrate different approaches to TVET research, and the final section of the book presents research methods, including interview and observation methods, as well as of experimentation and development. This handbook provides a comprehensive coverage of TVET research in an international context, and, with special focus on research and research methods, it is a cutting-edge resource and reference.
Education and Training Politics in Europe
In the past seventy years, education and training have evolved from side issues of political cooperation to political priorities of the EU. For three decades within this period, they were promoted implicitly to enable the mobility of workers in the internal market. Later on, a European dimension of education and training has developed through mobility and cooperation programs and through the lifelong learning discourse. Today, a European policy space of education and training is unfolding, which the EU is coordinating by the means of soft governance arrangements.
Entgrenzungen des Lernens
Die Bedeutung des Lernens für den Lebenslauf hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren deutlich verändert. Lernen überschreitet eine Grenze, indem es aus den Institutionen in den Alltag wandert und zum integrativen und wichtigen Bestandteil von Biografie wird. Diese Veränderung verlangt neue bildungspolitische Grundlagen sowie neue Formen der Wissens- und Kompetenzvermittlung durch Bildungsträger. Der Band stellt das Thema "Entgrenzung des Lernens" in den Mittelpunkt und verknüpft relevante Forschungserkenntnisse aus dem Ausland mit den Entwicklungslinien der deutschen Weiterbildungsforschung. Die vorgestellten Ergebnisse sind Resultate internationaler Forschungsnetzwerke zur Weiterbildung, zu deren Auf- und Ausbau der scheidende wissenschaftliche Direktor des Deutschen Instituts für Erwachsenenbildung (DIE), Ekkehard Nuissl, maßgeblich beigetragen hat. Ihm ist dieses Buch gewidmet.
Geschlechterbilder in der Katholischen Erwachsenenbildung
Wie werden frauen- und männerspezifische Themen und Fragen zum Gendermainstreaming in der Katholischen Erwachsenenbildung bearbeitet? Die Dissertation analysiert auf mehreren Ebenen die organisationelle und konzeptionelle Verschränkung zwischen Kirche und Erwachsenenbildung unter dem Genderaspekt. Sie stellt den kontroversen Diskurs zur Kategorie Geschlecht inklusive der Katholischen Position vor und arbeitet das Selbstverständnis der katholischen Erwachsenenbildung heraus. Die vorliegende Dissertation schließt eine Lücke in der Theoriebildung Katholischer Erwachsenenbildung und leistet einen wichtigen Wissenstransfer zwischen Genderforschung und Institutionenforschung. Der Band legt eine Theorie Katholischer Erwachsenenbildung aus gendertheoretischer Perspektive vor und vermittelt dem Leser und der Leserin umfangreich ausgewertetes Wissen.
