Continuing Higher Education and Lifelong Learning
Anke Hanft and Michaela Knust The present study examines and compares the structure and organisation of c- tinuing higher education in six countries: Austria, Finland, France, Germany, the UK and the USA. The focus is not just on current continuing education provisions at higher education institutions but also on the institutions themselves and their surrounding milieu. The study also attempts to move away from a purely national angle and to approach the topic from an international perspective. The conclusion is reached that when it comes to the development, establishment and professional implementation of continuing education provisions, German higher education ins- tutions lag behind the o...

Global Perspectives on Work-Based Learning Initiatives
The purpose of education has been debated in recent years, especially surrounding its curriculum and structure. In order to fully understand this discussion, the relationship between education and the labor market must be explored. Global Perspectives on Work-Based Learning Initiatives is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on recent progress in selected countries across the globe in educational programs designed to better prepare students for the workforce through the use of work-related learning. While highlighting topics such as degree apprenticeships, integrated learning strategy, and economic development, this book is ideally designed for education administrators, professors, business and education professionals, academicians, researchers, and graduate-level students seeking current research on the relationship between the education and labor market.
Teacher Education: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications
Educators play a significant role in the intellectual and social development of children and young adults. Next-generation teachers can only be as strong as their own educational foundation which serves to cultivate their knowledge of the learning process, uncover best practices in the field of education, and employ leadership abilities that will inspire students of all ages. Teacher Education: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications explores the current state of pre-service teacher programs as well as continuing education initiatives for in-service educators. Emphasizing the growing role of technology in teacher skill development and training as well as key teaching methods and pedagogical developments, this multi-volume work compiles research essential to higher education professionals and administrators, educational software developers, and researchers studying pre-service and in-service teacher training.
History and Mission in Europe
Issues of European missiology and recent church history have been somewhat neglected in recent years. This volume is intended to help fill the gap by bringing together essays by European scholars or those closely connected to that continent, from the United Kingdom to the Russian Federation. New information and fresh perspectives are presented both by familiar writers and some who are almost unknown to North American audiences. German and Russian articles include an English-language abstract. The collection is inspired by the many ministries of Walter Sawatsky, the foremost North American Mennonite authority on the Christian church in the former Soviet Union and Europe and a prolific writer in the fields of church history and missiology.
Literary Exiles from Nazi Germany
Captures the learning process of Nazi-era literary exiles following in the footsteps of legendary literary exemplars of exile. Exile is as old as humanity itself but a radically new fate for the "novice" exile, who falls into a world about which personal experience can tell him nothing. He does, however, know a great number of stories -- myths, legends, allegories, biblical or historical accounts -- about exile. The novice's search for a foothold initiates a learning process in which the exilic tradition assumes a major role. The present book captures this learning process: it is a cultural history of exile as it was experienced by thousands of German and Austrian writers and intellectuals w...
Handbook of Research on Operational Quality Assurance in Higher Education for Life-Long Learning
Previously, key levers of higher education have seemed to be the learning organization, work-integrated learning for life-long learning, and learner-centered pedagogy. However, funding evolution and the integration of digital tools are changing professional styles and learning behaviors. Nonetheless, the sustainability of higher education requires quality agreement based on ethical, robust, and replicable pedagogical approaches. The Handbook of Research on Operational Quality Assurance in Higher Education for Life-Long Learning is a comprehensive scholarly book that focuses on the evolution of the education framework and job market as well as necessary changes needed in organizations to reply to life-long learning and competency-based training initiatives. Highlighting topics such as digital environment, e-learning, and learning analytics, this book is essential for higher education faculty, managers, deans, professionals, administrators, educators, academicians, researchers, and policymakers.
Vom Projekt zum Produkt.
Wollen Hochschulen ihre Verantwortung im Bereich des Lebenslangen Lernens übernehmen und ein Ort für akademische Bildung über die gesamte Lebensspanne werden, dann müssen sie sich für eine breitere Zielgruppe öffnen und ihre Angebote und Strukturen der Diversität der (neuen) Studierenden anpassen. Das vorliegende Werk thematisiert verschiedene Aspekte der Umsetzung und Etablierung von wissenschaftlicher Weiterbildung für beruflich Qualifizierte an Hochschulen. Fokussiert werden Entwicklungsschritte, durch die aus der Projektidee ein nachhaltig etabliertes, marktfähiges Weiterbildungsangebot werden kann. Das Buch richtet sich an Hochschullehrende und Personen, die mit der Entwicklung und Etablierung von hochschulischen Weiterbildungsangeboten befasst und/oder mit der Gestaltung hochschulischer Veränderungsprozesse in Studium und Lehre betraut sind, sowie an Vertreterinnen und Vertreter relevanter Politikbereiche.
Lebenslanges Lernen und Hochschulbildung
Verglichen werden strukturelle und organisatorische Bedingungen der Hochschulbildung in Deutschland und Spanien, um Möglichkeiten und Hindernisse bei der Implementierung des Konzeptes "Lebenslanges Lernen" zu erkennen. Obwohl die Befragten eine positive Einstellung zum lebenslangen Lernen haben und es als Baustein der Hochschulbildung akzeptieren, sehen sie Schwierigkeiten bei der Umsetzung der damit verbundenen zusätzlichen Anforderungen. Wie die Ergebnisse der Studie zeigen, sind besonders der Umgang mit heterogenen Studierenden und die Ausbalancierung von Wissenschaft und Praxis zentrale Handlungsfelder für die Implementierung des Konzeptes. Eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung sollte auf hochschulpolitischen Konzepten und Strategien basieren, Einzelmaßnahmen sind wenig erfolgversprechend. Die freie Verfügbarkeit der E-Book-Ausgabe dieser Publikation wurde ermöglicht durch den Fachinformationsdienst Erziehungswissenschaft und Bildungsforschung (FID), gefördert durch die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) und ein Netzwerk wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken zur Förderung von Open Access in der Erziehungswissenschaft, Bildungsforschung und Fachdidaktik.
