Researches in Adult Learning and Education: the European Dimension

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

Joint Modules and Internationalisation in Higher Education

Erwachsenenbildung in internationaler Perspektive

This volume addresses internationalization and internationality of adult education in two ways. On the one hand, it takes an internal perspective on the research landscape by contextualized specific phenomena of internationalization in adult education and learning. On the other hand, externally induced research questions are addressed from the perspective of their internationality. Both reactive and anticipatory dynamics as well as chances and limitations of internationalization become visible.Der Band befasst sich auf zweifache Weise mit Internationalisierung und Internationalität von Erwachsenenbildung. Zum einen wird eine Binnenperspektive auf die Forschungslandschaft eingenommen, indem spezifische Internationalisierungsphänomene der Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung eine kontextualisierte Darstellung finden. Zum anderen werden von außen induzierte Forschungsfragen unter der Perspektive ihrer Internationalität aufgegriffen und diskutiert. Die Beitragenden machen sowohl reaktive als auch antizipative Bewegungen und Dynamiken sowie Chancen und Grenzen von Internationalisierung sichtbar

Adult Education and Work Contexts: International Perspectives and Challenges

Adult education has deep connections with employment contexts. This volume discusses interrelations within transnational contexts studied during the Würzburg Winter School on Comparative Studies in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning (COMPALL). The book shows that adult education and work contexts are influenced by international and transnational developments. The findings are presented in three chapters: Lifelong Learning Policies Targeting Employment Contexts; Transnational Perspectives on Lifelong Learning Policies; Employment Perspectives and Professionalisation in Adult Education.</P
