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.
Qualifying Adult Learning Professionals in Europe
Forlagets beskrivelse: Successful lifelong learning of adults needs to be supported by well qualified staff. This presents all European countries with a complex task, given the diversity of job profiles and work contexts in the adult learning sector and the scarcity of empirical research. This volume provides policy makers and practitioners with an overview of current professionalization efforts in Europe and points out the major challenges for further action. It includes contributions by renowned adult education researchers as well as short presentations of good practice examples
Professionalisation of Adult Educators
In many regions of the world, professionalisation in adult and continuing education is brought into the focus of educational policy. The twelve articles of this book focus on current developments from both national and international and comparative perspectives thus revealing common factors as well as differences.
Teachers and Trainers in Adult and Lifelong Learning
What competences are needed in future by people working within adult and lifelong learning? What pathways of professionalisation are available to them in Europe and Asia? What are the actual effects of teacher training? What are the specific responsibilities of adult and continuing education teachers and trainers? This book focusses on the professional development of trainers and teachers in adult and lifelong learning and the state of the art of professional development in Asia, Europe, China and India.
Flexible Pathways Towards Professionalisation
It is difficult to compare the qualifications of Adult Educators in Europe as there has been little transparency so far.The flexi-path project aims to provide better comparability of the qualifications of Senior Adult Educators. This English language publication describes the ideas behind the project and explains the theoretical background.The book also introduces a toolkit for self-evaluation, based on the competence profile for Adult Educators at level 6 (Bachelor) and 7 (Master) of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). The toolkit is also an instrument for the evaluation of competences, identification of training needs as well as offering a new perspective on the assessment and recognition of non-formally acquired qualifications.
The Role of Higher Education in the Professionalisation of Adult Educators
This collection of essays focuses on the important, but under-discussed, role of higher education institutions in both delivering academic programmes that provide relevant cognitive and professional skills and competences to future adult educators, and in being more actively involved in the current dialogue with regard to the professionalization paths of adult educators and trainers. The topics discussed here vary from the initial education and training of adult educators in higher education environments, to the role of universities as validating agencies of existing psycho-pedagogical competences for in-service adult educators. Particular attention is also drawn to the ways in which adult education policies and initial education and training opportunities for prospective adult educators affect the role of higher education institutions in terms of academic orientation and programme delivery.
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.
Professionalisierungsstrategien der Erwachsenenbildung in Europa
Der Band diskutiert die Professionalisierung der Erwachsenenbildung aus internationaler Perspektive. Zunehmende Mobilität und Forderungen nach mehr Transparenz erhöhen die Notwendigkeit internationaler Standards. Gleichzeitig sehen viele Erwachsenenbildner jedoch die Gefahr übermäßiger Formalisierung und Bürokratisierung. In diesem Spannungsfeld situiert sich der Sammelband, wobei Kompetenzprofile und Qualifikationsrahmen eine Schlüsselrolle spielen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren setzen sich aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven mit Erwachsenenbildung als Profession auseinander und verbinden dabei wissenschaftliche Ansätze mit praxisbezogenen Fragen. Auf der Grundlage internationaler Forschungsprojekte geben sie Denkanstöße für die weitere Professionalisierung der Weiterbildung.
