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.

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.
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.
In Deutschland und Österreich hat die Professionalisierung im Bereich der Erwachsenenbildung in den letzten Jahren vielfältige neue Impulse erfahren. Das Modell der Weiterbildungsakademie Österreich (wba) und das Dresdner Kompetenzbilanzierungsinstrument (KOMPASS) bieten konkrete Beispiele, wie vorhandene Kompetenzen identifiziert, validiert und zertifiziert werden können.
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.

Thema der Dissertation ist der Einstieg in das Berufsfeld der Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung nach dem Hochschulstudium. In problemzentrierten Interviews befragt die Autorin Berufseinsteigende zu ihrer Beziehung zum Studium, zur Berufsfindungsphase und zu ihrer persönlichen Professionalisierung. Methodisch basiert die Arbeit auf der berufsbiografischen Rekonstruktion von Wirklichkeit. Die Autorin kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass der Berufseinstieg von drei Aspekten bestimmt wird: Organisationsrahmen, Interaktionsrahmen und Subjektrahmen. Diese Analyse der beruflichen Professionalitäts- und Sozialisationsprozesse ermöglicht Aussagen zu einer (Weiter-)Entwicklung der kollektiven und individuellen Professionalisierung der Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung.
