Več je bilo vzrokov za to, da je v povojnem obdobju primanjkovalo izobraženih ljudi. Država je načrtno in pospešeno razvijala industrijo, zato je primanjkovalo kvalificiranih delavcev. Vojno obdobje ...je marsikomu preprečilo dokončanje šolanja. Poleg tega so bili izobraženci pogostejše žrtve vojne kot preostalo prebivalstvo. Zato je bilo na zavodih za zaposlovanje povpraševanje po usposobljenih delavcih večje kot ponudba. Posledično se je izobraževanje odraslih v praksi hitro razvijalo. Praktiki so iskali strokovno podporo in ustrezno literaturo. Leta 1956 so v Zagrebu na Filozofski fakulteti uvedli v okviru študija pedagogike prva predavanja andragogike v takratni Jugoslaviji. Profesor Mihajlo Ogrizović kot nosilec predmeta je študij v naslednjih letih podprl z objavo prvih knjig s področja andragogike: Metode obrazovanja odraslih in Problemi andragogije. Leta 1960 je nastala katedra za andragogiko na Filozofski fakulteti v Beogradu (profesorja Dušan Savičević in Borivoj Samolovčev). Za raziskovanje na področju izobraževanja odraslih sem se odločila med službovanjem na Inštitutu za sociologijo (1967), ko sem se pridružila takrat pri nas prvi mednarodni komparativni raziskavi Izobraževanje odraslih, socialna mobilnost in družbena participacija. S predavanji obče andragogike in andragoške didaktike smo v Ljubljani začeli leta 1972 na Oddelku za pedagogiko Filozofske fakultete. Leta 1976 je študij andragogike postal ena od študijskih smeri na oddelku. V študijskem letu 1993/94 smo uvedli samostojni enopredmetni študij andragogike. Ministrstvo za šolstvo in šport je novi študijski program potrdilo v okviru evropskega projekta Tempus. Na oblikovanje študijskih programov so vplivali najbolj znani inštituti in oddelki za izobraževanje odraslih v razvitem svetu (Oddelek za andragogiko Univerze v Montrealu, Evropski Bureau for Adult education v Londonu, Wellington College v Oxfordu, Institute for Andragology v Amsterdamu, Oddelek za andragogiko Karlove univerze v Pragi itd.). To nam je zagotavljalo, da je študij na mednarodni ravni. Enoletna postdoktorska specializacija na Inštitutu v Torontu (1971) je priprave na predavanja dokončno zaokrožila. Strokovna in znanstvena literatura iz andragogike se je pomnožila. Andragogika je dobila svoje mesto v nacionalnem raziskovalnem programu. Vzporedno smo raziskovali v mednarodnih raziskavah prek UNESCA, ICAE (International Council for Adult Education) in projektov EU. Študij andragogike se je ponovno preoblikoval v okviru bolonjske reforme visokega šolstva v zadnjih letih.
The current contribution focuses on evaluation research as a process of learning and development for practice, by looking at conditions of collaboration between practice and research in two examples. ...We exemplify that learning from evaluation in complex programme settings is related to the nature of the collaboration between social work agencies and researchers. Findings are based on two similar cases of evaluation research for interagency collaboration in Germany and Slovenia. Results show that a symbiotic collaboration between research and practice enhances the learning and development potential for practice, but also that the balance between organizing the collaboration process and leaving room for experimental and ad hoc decisions needs to be guarded. Both advantages and disadvantages of planning and stability need to be taken into account when doing practitioner evaluation research.
The instruments of qualitative methodology are certainly one of the 20th century’s greatest achievements among the different research methods in the humanities and social sciences, especially among ...those that deal with the discourse and world view of the other – the informant, his or her verbal, visual and other messages. In this period several important reflections on the forms and limits of research practice took place: reflections on the informant and the images and theories of the world with which he or she lives and co-creates his or her life~on the ways and means of recording and translating statements or field information into a language that is understandable to academic circles and the interested public~and last but not least, reflections on the researcher’s world view with and through which he or she interprets and attempts to understand the culture of the other.
The Handbook of Academic Writingoffers practical advice to busy academics who want, and are often required, to integrate writing into their working lives. It defines what academic writing is, and the ...process of getting started through to completion, covering topics such as:
Gaining momentumReviewing and revisingSelf-disciplineWriting regularlyWriters' groups and retreatsAcademic writing is one of the most demanding tasks that all academics and researchers face. In some disciplines there is guidance on what is needed to be productive, successful writers; but in other disciplines there is no training, support or mentoring of any kind. This book helps those in both groups not only to improve their writing skills and strategies, but, equally importantly, to find satisfaction in engaging in regular and productive writing.Underpinned by a diverse range of literature, this book addresses the different dimensions of writing. The fresh approach that Murray and Moore explore in this book includes developing rhetorical knowledge, focusing on writing behaviours and understanding writing contexts.This book will help writers in academic contexts to develop a productive writing strategy, not only for research monitoring exercises, but also for the long term.
