A change for the better
Leicester , Niace , 2010 , 40 Seiten
Schlagworte: Lebenslanges Lernen , Erwachsenenbildung , Vereinigtes Königreich , Datenerhebung , Statistik , Bildungsbeteiligung , Bildungsinteresse This year's NIACE adult participation survey shows a sea change. After years of falling numbers, and an ever-widening gulf between the learning-rich and the learning-poor, there has been an upturn in the proportion of adults engaged in learning and in the number expecting to take part in the future. Current or recent adult participation in learning has risen to the highest level for a decade. Whilst this survey maps the continuing divide between people who have enjoyed the benefits of a good initial education and those who left education with little to show, there is evidence of a significant shift - most strikingly for working-class adults, and those who have had least benefit from learning to date. Is this the beginning of the Learning Revolution heralded in the government White Paper of last year? At the very least there has been a statistically significant shift in participation in learning of some kind - formal or informal, online or in the classroom or the workbench; there has also been a shift in people's plans to take up learning. As long as the learning divide persists this cannot be the Revolution; but it is definitely a change for the better. This survey continues the series documenting adult participation in learning in the UK. Using responses of around 5,000 adults, it offers key findings, breaking down trends in participation and future intentions to learn by gender, socio-economic class, age, employment and the regions. It provides up-to-date data as well as a valuable means for comparison over time. For the first time it includes a section on attitudes to learning. (Verlag)

Between global and local
Frankfurt am Main [u.a.] , Lang , 2011 , 243 Seiten
Schlagworte: Europa , Erwachsenenbildung , Globalisierung , Weiterbildungssystem , Globales Lernen , Humanvermögen , Internationaler Vergleich , Aufsatzsammlung This book contributes to the debate of the complex relations between development and adult learning in Europe, both at a local and global level. This integrated analysis provides models for interpreting the reality of macro and micro-development, and also for clues on how to make populations life's better. The book will be useful to researchers in the field of adult education, as well as other social actors (NGOs, social economists, sociologists, and practitioners) concerned with the recent trends in human development and how adult education can help people to deal with it (Verl.)

Die grundtvigsche Volkshochschule
Saarbrücken , VDM Verl. Müller , 2010 , 132 Seiten
Schlagworte: Dänemark , Grundtvig, Nicolai F. S. , Biographie , Geschichte der Erwachsenenbildung , Volkshochschule , Konzept , Institution , Rezeption , Erwachsenenbildung , Deutschland Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783 - 1872) war ein dänischer Theologe, Dichter und Pädagoge. Er hat bedeutenden Einfluss auf die deutsche Erwachsenenbildung in ihrem Konstituierungsprozess genommen und ist geistiger Begründer der Heimvolkshochschulen. Dennoch sind Grundtvig und die grundtvigsche Volkshochschulidee außerhalb Dänemarks bis heute kaum bekannt und beachtet. Die Autorin Anke Rikowski-Bertsch stellt sich daher in einer historischen Zugangsweise der Herausforderung, die grundtvigsche Volkshochschule in Bezug auf ihre originäre Idee, ihre institutionelle Umsetzung und ihre Rezeption für die Erwachsenenbildung systematisch aufzuarbeiten. Der Leserschaft soll dadurch ein grundlegender Zugang zu Grundtvig und zu seiner Volksbildungsidee ermöglicht werden: Anliegen ist es, den Volksbildner Grundtvig wieder mehr in das Blickfeld erwachsenenpädagogischer Diskussion zu rücken, Impulse zur weiteren Auseinandersetzung mit seinem pädagogischen Werk zu geben und seine Ideen als Ressourcen zur Bewältigung gegenwärtiger gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen heranzuziehen.

Lifelong learning in paid and unpaid work
London [u.a.] , Routledge , 2010
Schlagworte: Erwachsenenbildung , Lebenslanges Lernen , Kanada , Deutschland , Lernen am Arbeitsplatz , Datenerhebung , Informationstechnische Industrie , Gender-Ansatz , Hausarbeit , Informelles Lernen , Lehrer , Professionalisierung , Berufsanfang , Biographie , Lernen von Erwachsenen , Forschung , Netzwerk Lifelong Learning is essential to all individuals and in recent years has become a guiding principle for policy initiatives, ranging from national economic competition to issues of social cohesion and personal fulfilment. However, despite the importance of lifelong learning there is a critical absence of direct, international evidence on its extent, content and outcomes. Lifelong Learning in Paid and Unpaid Work provides a new paradigm for understanding work and learning, documenting the active contribution of workers to their development and their adaptation to paid and unpaid work. Empirical evidence drawn from national surveys in Canada and eight related case studies is used to explore the current learning activities of those in paid employment, housework and volunteer work, addressing all forms of learning including: formal schooling, further education courses, informal training and self-directed learning, particularly in the context of organisational and technological change. Proposing an expanded conceptual framework for investigating the relationships between learning and work, the contributors offer new insights into the ways in which adult learning adapts to and helps reshape the wide contemporary world of work throughout the life course.
