V tokratni tematski številki Andragoških spoznanj, ki zajema šest tematskih člankov, avtorice in avtorji razmišljajo o izzivih trajnostnega razvoja, okoljskega in trajnostnega izobraževanja, ...okoljskih gibanjih, transformaciji in izobraževanju odraslih z vidika različnih teoretskih perspektiv in metodoloških pristopov.
This thematic issue of Andragogic Perspectives brings to the fore a topic which has, since the turn of the century, enjoyed considerable international attention in the field of (adult) education and ...lifelong learning. In Slovenia, however, the influence of globalisation and/ or Europeanisation on adult education has not in fact been systematically addressed. The editorial board made the decision to encourage a wide-ranging discussion about the influence and impact of globalisation and/or Europeanisation processes on adult education and learning, lifelong learning and higher education, hence the current thematic issue.
V prispevku obravnavamo koncipiranje državljanske vzgoje in dejavnega državljanstva v izobraževanju odraslih v vse bolj raznoliki in pluralni evropski družbi, ki se sooča z množičnim prihodom ...beguncev in migrantov. V izhodišče razprave postavljamo dva koncepta državljanske vzgoje: »državljanstvo kot status« in »državljanstvo kot prakso«. Pri opredelitvi prvega izhajamo iz Habermasovega pojmovanja demokracije in javne sfere ter pokažemo, da je državljanska vzgoja v integracijskih izobraževalnih programih povezana predvsem s prilagoditvijo prišlekov obstoječemu liberalnodemokratskemu družbenemu redu, torej z njeno socializacijsko funkcijo. V nasprotju s to konceptualizacijo državljanske vzgoje ter opirajoč se na pojmovanje demokracije in političnega, kot sta ga razvila Mouffejeva in Rancière, dokazujemo tezo, da sta državljanska vzgoja in dejavno državljanstvo bistveno povezana s prakticiranjem demokracije, torej z njeno subjektivizacijsko funkcijo, v kateri lahko vsi potencialni člani neke skupnosti, ne glede na njihov status, aktivno participirajo v javni sferi, govorijo kot njeni enakovredni člani ter se tako učijo demokratičnih praks.
In this article, we examine the vertical influence of the European Union (EU) policy on recognition of prior learning (RPL) in one Southern European country (Portugal) and in a Central European one ...(Slovenia). We stress the influence of the EU policy on adult education (AE) policies and the development of RPL granting professional qualification. Although not widely acknowledged in adult education theoretical discussions, we use the RPL models introduced by Judy Harris to debate the main aims of core official RPL national policy documents from 2000 to 2018 using documentary analysis. Comparative analysis of the two countries is made, and similarities and differences between the RPL provisions are debated. Our findings indicate the relevance of the utilitarian approach to RPL within national policies. Furthermore, these findings allow us to question why employers give little attention to adult learners’ qualification acquired through RPL. (DIPF/Orig.)
This paper identifies some of the key characteristics of the marketisation of adult learning and education (ALE) and analyses the effects in the contexts of Germany (focusing on Bavaria) and ...Slovenia. ALE policies and institutional practices are analysed through the method of document analysis and interviews. Policy models of ALE proposed by Lima and Guimaraes — the democratic–emancipatory model, the modernisation and state control model, and the human resources management model — are used as an analytical framework. The findings indicate that the latter model prevails in the analysed policies, while the market forces are introduced on the organisational level of ALE from ‘below’ through the increased influence of the market demand coming from the learners/customers, and from ‘above’ through calls for tenders that shape the ‘quasimarket’ in which the ALE organisations compete for funding. However, signs of resistance to the marketisation of ALE practices are also identified. (DIPF/Orig.)
The paper analyses European policy on the validation of non-formal and informal learning, which is presented as a “salvation narrative” that can improve the functioning of the labour market, provide ...a way out from unemployment and strengthen the competitiveness of the economy. Taking as our starting point recent findings in adult education theory on the validation of non-formal and informal learning, we aim to prove the thesis that what European validation policy promotes is above all economic purpose and that it establishes a “Credential/Credit-exchange” model of validation of non-formal and informal learning. We proceed to ecxamine the effect of European VNIL policy in selected European countries where validation arrangements are linked to the qualifications framework. We find that the “Credential/ Credit-exchange” validation model was first established in a few individual European countries and then transferred, as a “successful” model, to the level of common European VNIL policy.
This paper presents an analysis of theoretical ideas and models that could serve as the basis of intercultural education in the current European society. Initially, it presents the importance of ...interculturalism for education that is based on research data from Slovenia. Interculturalism is one of the most important educational initiatives in addressing the problem of inequality in education. Further in the text, in the absence of a theoretical basis of intercultural education, four possible theoretical models are analysed and described: the global ethic model based on Hans Kung project of Global Ethic; distance to the Other model based on Slavoj Zizek's research on violence; constitutional loyalty model based on the theory of Jurgen Habermas; and recognition model based on the theory of recognition. web URL: http://www.emuni.si/press/ISSN/1855-3362/8_043-061.pdf
V prispevku izhajamo iz perspektive kritične teorije in postmodernizma v izobraževanju odraslih pri proučevanju ideje o priznavanju neformalnega in priložnostno pridobljenega znanja. Z vidika ...sodobnejših spoznanj v teoriji izobraževanja odraslih bomo pokazali, da so teoretiki in praktiki priznavanja polagali prevelike upe na filozofijo in metodologije, s katerimi naj bi ocenjevali, vrednotili, potrjevali in priznavali neformalno in priložnostno pridobljeno znanje. Na tej podlagi bomo osvetlili potrebo po reteoretizaciji »samoumevnih« predpostavk in »pozitivnih« učinkov, ki naj bi jih priznavanje neformalnega in priložnostno pridobljenega znanja imelo na posameznika in družbo. V ta namen bomo, (a), opredelili pojem priznavanja neformalno in priložnostno pridobljenega znanja, (b), predstavili različne ideje, modele in metode priznavanja, (c) poudarili izsledke novejših raziskav na tem področju, (d) utemeljili potrebo po reteoretizaciji priznavanja neformalno in priložnostno pridobljenega znanja in pokazali na možnosti nadaljnjega razvoja te ideje v izobraževanju odraslih.
