Wie professionell sind die Professionellen der Erwachsenenbildung? Wenig, legt man einen strengen professionstheoretischen Maßstab an. Zu diesem brisanten Ergebnis kommt die Autorin in qualitativen Interviews mit zehn „ausgesucht Professionellen“. Der empirische Teil der Untersuchung stützt damit die These, dass die Entwicklung von Professionalität in der Erwachsenenbildung bisher nicht gelungen ist trotz der üblichen Professionalitäts-Rhetorik. Den weitaus größeren Teil der Arbeit macht die t…
The form of social integration of space and time determines the understanding of learning, personality and subjectification. In modernity, organizations form individuals through systematic observation. For this purpose, semiotic techniques of dynamization of persons—calculation, measurement, visualization, rechaotisation—are developed and used pedagogically. Their digitization leads to the autonomization of presentational control and management practices, which operate without organizations as …
The article deals with the question how learning is made possible in time and space in university continuing education. The analysis focuses on the phases of on-site study and self-study, which are regarded as two forms of dealing with time and space in university continuing education. Both formats present specific challenges for the students, showing that the quality of learning time and learning spaces plays a key role in participation. In addition, times and places for on-site study and self…

It conveys insights into the field through the lens of interdisciplinary theoretical approaches to the arts, to culture and to transculturality and links them to reflections and empirical findings from the adult education discipline, in particular in the areas of programme analysis. Through this we attempt to inspire further research and theory-building on cultural/arts education for adu…
In a representative survey in 2012 the German edition of the Adult Education Survey (AES) collected data relating to the professional development behaviour and the structure of the professional development market in Germany. This final report analyses and comments on the collated data under the consideration of key questions: Who participates why, how often and how long in professional development and who does not? Which professional development provisions are popular? How is the target group o…
Particularly, disabled people belong to those being excluded from social participation. From these peoples’ point of view, the UN-Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities formulates specific challenges for the system of adult and continuing education. What results from these challenges with regard to the various social and individual functions given to adult education and lifelong learning? Answers from the field of adult education, from the pedagogy for the disabled and from socio…
Kursleitende in der Erwachsenenbildung kommen aus unterschiedlichen Handlungsbereichen und Disziplinen.

Dieser Band behandelt sowohl Fragen des Lernens Erwachsener, der Kursplanung und des Marketing, als auch Fragen zur arbeits- und sozialrechtlichen Situation der Lehrenden.…
