Abschiedliche Bildung

Adult education is also stamped by linear legends, including its implicit models of biography. These are, as shall be shown in the first section of this consideration, concepts of a setting-out-biography. They oversee the aspect of life coming to an end. For that reason adult education often just shows half of the picture of an adult. The adult appears as a timeless entity, being in principle open for development. His “Unteachableness” is not really seen as a result of the structural rigidity o…

Betriebliche Weiterbildung für ältere Arbeitnehmer/innen

There are only a few studies on the scale and structure of on-the-job-training for elder employees. This article provides basic results using data of the IAB-Establishment-Panel. In addition to human capital theory we try to explain the firm behaviour considering rational choice theory, which allows non-economic explications. After introducing descriptive statistics, the authors test the assumption whether a positive (negative) attitude towards elderly leads to more (less) training. Results ind…

Hochaltrigkeit und Pflege zu Hause als Herausforderung für die Weiterbildung

Education for elderly people has continuously increased in significance against the background of demographic developments. Primarily the group of the “young old“ has been in the centre of scientific exploration and practical educational work. For a long time the theme old age has been shielded.

Thereby she foc…

Der Mehrwert einer Begleitstudie

This article examines the surplus value of CiLL as an accompanying study to PIAAC. Consequently, CiLL does not only point out the significance of acquiring competences for senior citizens but also provides a differential outlook on that phase of life. In addition, the study's methodological structure is examined critically.

Kompetenz im höheren Lebensalter

The article presents initial findings of the CiLL study - a German extending study on PIAAC. Using the same tools as PIAAC, the study measures reading, numeracy and technology-based problem-solving skills of people between 66 and 80 years of age - an age group, which was excluded in the PIAAC study.

Schluss! Aus! Vorbei? Abschiede

Viele Menschen erfüllt Abschied mit Unbehagen: Menschlich, aber doch vorschnell führt uns die Assoziation zur »Endstation«, zum »Unwiederbringlichen«. Abschied nehmen fällt – ebenso wie »aller Anfang« – schwer. Gerade deshalb ist es aber keine Verharmlosung, wenn man im Abschied auch den Vorläufer des Neuanfangs erblickt. Für das erwachsenpädagogische Handeln geht es um die »Gestaltung des Abschieds«, mithin um das »gute Ende« (»Ende gut, alles gut!«). Diesen Weg beschreiten die Beiträge des vo…
