Comparative Research in Adult Education
The volume presents research that emerges from the 9th international Adult Education Academy (2022), which brings together researchers, students and practitioners from around the world to share perspectives comparatively. More than 80 participants from almost 20 different countries have exchanged, compared and expanded their individual knowledge and experience on adult learning and education. This volume consisting of eight contributions (including one fundamental article beforehand) assumes that globalisation affects national, regional and local levels of adult learning and education. Transformational relations are observed and analysed through the lens of participation, sustainability and digitalisation. All contributions apply an international comparative research approach to empirically investigate these areas with their upcoming needs. This approach takes place under consideration of comparison as a research method which not only grounds on a long tradition and relies on a set of rules and techniques, but also on an inner attitude and sensitivity with which we look at the world and its global needs while trying to understand.
Learning and Teaching in Adult Education
Learning is a key issue in education. Being familiar with contemporary learning theory, therefore, is an essential prerequisite for education scholars and practitioners alike.
The Role of Vocational Education and Training in Promoting Lifelong Learning in Germany and England
Following the Introduction, the emergence of lifelong learning as the central strategy in the EU’s education and training policy is described in Chapter Two. Illustrated in a historical and international context, it reveals where the idea of lifelong learning has come from and how it has developed up to the present day. A particular focus is on EU policy after the mid-1990s as well as on the EU’s concept of lifelong learning and its objectives. Since lifelong learning is a complex concept, the provision of a broad perspective on VET in Germany and England seems inevitable in order to examine how VET fosters lifelong learning. Therefore, Deißinger’s concept of qualification styles, whi...
Since the Boom
Marked by a period of massive structural change, the 1970s in Europe saw the collapse of traditional manufacturing. The essays in this collection question aspects of the narrative of decline and radical transformation.
Feminist Transformations and Domestic Violence Activism in Divided Berlin, 1968-2002
This is the first in-depth historical study of feminist activism against domestic violence in divided Berlin between 1968 and 2002. Starting in the 1970s, feminists in West and then East Berlin campaigned against domestic violence as a key issue of women's inequality. They exposed the harmful gender norms that left women unprotected and vulnerable to abuse in the home and called for this to change. Indeed, domestic violence has been one of the issues most effectively addressed by the women's movement in Germany. Since the first shelter opened in West Berlin in 1976, women's shelters have spread throughout the country, and today up to 45,000 women a year turn to emergency housing in Germany, ...
Eine Konferenz der anderen Art
Ein halbes Jahrhundert europäischer Erwachsenenbildung wird lebendig. Die «Internationalen Salzburger Gespräche für LeiterInnen in der Erwachsenenbildung» des Verbandes Österreichischer Volkshochschulen stellten von 1958 bis 2007 einen Ort der internationalen Vernetzung von ErwachsenenbildnerInnen dar, einen Ort der theoretischen Diskussion, des Vergleichs von Praxiserfahrungen, aber auch einen Ort des geselligen Zusammenseins fernab politischen Kalküls. Die Publikation bietet eine historisch und statistisch aufbereitete Gesamtschau gleichwie einen Querschnitt durch 50 Jahre «Salzburger Gespräche», deren Themen, Fragestellungen und Diskussionen nichts an Aktualität eingebüßt haben.
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.
Sinnliche Bildung?
Die Welt ist kein fügsames Material menschlicher Aktivitäten. Der Einfluss der Welt auf den Menschen kann offen und transparent sein, überwiegend jedoch werden normative Ansprüche hintergründig und indirekt realisiert. Dadurch wird der Blick auf Möglichkeiten verstellt und die Entfaltung von Selbstbestimmung beeinflusst. Aus bildungstheoretischer Sicht lautet daher die Frage: Unter welchen Bedingungen sind welche Aspekte und Dimensionen des sinnlich unmittelbaren Mensch-Welt-Verhältnisses geeignet, emanzipatorische Ressourcen aufzuschließen und tragfähige Bildungsprozesse zu provozieren? Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Buches gehen dieser Frage aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven nach.
Organisationsgebundene pädagogische Professionalität
Organisation und Profession – obwohl sie sich in der Theorie immer wieder zu widersprechen scheinen, sind sie in der Praxis miteinander verzahnt. Deshalb entwickelt die Autorin in ihrem Werk das theoretische Konstrukt der „organisationsgebundenen Professionalität“ und bezieht dieses auf das Feld Lebenslangen Lernens. Die Autorin schlägt vor, das gesellschaftliche Arbeitsvermögen im pädagogischen Feld in der Sozialform reflexiv individualisierter Beruflichkeit zu fassen und den Fokus auf die strukturbildende Kraft von Organisation als Konstitutionszusammenhang von Professionalität zu richten. Sie untersuchte dafür einen vierjährigen Prozess der Mitarbeiterentwicklung in einer Bil...
