The article is an assessment of some recent wide-scoping development and education project carried out in the working life. ln addition to presenting the experiences and results of empirical research projects, the article takes a more general view of the quality issues connected to adult education from the aspects of planning, implementation and assessment. It appears that despite the availability of personnel training planning guides, textbooks and training for trainers during the past couple of decades, the adult education action models used in the working life are highly conventional, at times even school-like. Small and medium-large enterprises especially tend to continue to rely a lot …

Diversification of adult education with the help of video lectures

2010

For some years now, adult education and working while studying have had an important role in the modern society. Mature-age study brings with it some special features, such as time use limitations, which must be taken into account when creating educational programmes for the students concerned. Above all, flexibility must become a major feature of participation in education. In relation to the Master Studies in Mathematical Information Technology at Kokkola University Consortium, the aim for some years now has been to increase that flexibility by diversifying traditional lecture teaching with the help of real-time and on-demand video lectures. With the help of the results presented in this …

The Age-Participation Relationship Revised: Focus on Older Adults

1998

This study aims to increase our understanding of how the negative influence of age on participation comes about. The framework used emphasizes human life complexity and human agency in behavior and decision-making. Accordingly, main effects and multiple interaction effects of age and some education and work-related factors on participation were examined. The results show that when the interaction effects are taken into account, the age-participation relationship becomes more complex than previously found in studies focusing only on main effects. It is suggested that research on participation utilize the more advanced options available in multivariate statistics and thus aim at better compa…

The Nordic Superintendents’ Leadership Roles: Cross-National Comparison

2013

The chapter focuses on what happens when national education policies meet structures of implementation at the local school district and school levels. Focus is on the position that is subordinated to a municipal committee or board responsible for education. This position is here called superintendent, even if precise titles vary. By focusing on this position, its relation to the political board and the function as superior of principals in the school district, it will be possible to investigate some of the preconditions for learning in the school districts.

Ilgtspējīgs izglītības atbalsts Kenijā: gadījumu izpēte par vietējo pašnoteikšanos starptautiskās attīstības palīdzības programmas ietvaros

2021

1966. gadā ANO Starptautiskā sociālā pakta (ICESCR) 13. un 14. pantā izglītība tika atzīta par vienu no cilvēktiesībām. Lai nodrošinātu šīs cilvēktiesības ikvienam, NVO izglītības jomā strādā, sniedzot atbalstu valstīm, kuras cīnās par kvalitatīvas izglītības mērķa sasniegšanu. Pretojoties arvien bezprincipiālākajai izglītības attīstības palīdzībai, kas pašlaik pieaug visā Eiropā, Nīderlandes NVO Teachers4Teachers strādā, lai īstenotu "varas maiņu", kad vietējie kenijieši pārņem Nīderlandes brīvprātīgo lomu izglītības attīstības palīdzības ietvaros. Izmantojot pieaugušo izglītības, psiholoģiskās pašnoteikšanās un atbildības teorijas, šajā pētījumā sniegti padomi, kā nodrošināt, lai šī pārma…
