This book is intended to help practitioners in adult education become better informed about assessment, evaluation, and accountability as these are critical functions of administering and running adult education programs. The book is for adult educators who have been asked to serve on assessment committees, produce detailed reports for funders and accreditors, create a culture of assessment within their program and organization, and/or develop reports for accountability purposes. Section one presents an introductory overview of assessment and evaluation in adult education. Section two gives guidance on practices for specific areas of adult education practice, such as army military education, human resource development, and continuing professional education. Section three provides assessment practices for adults in higher education, with chapters dedicated to distance learning, health professions education, and graduate education.

The achievement and success of Roma people in education is at a breaking point across Europe, severely limiting social mobility. Recent research has shown that Roma are the most underrepresented group in schools and other educational institutions. There are an array of policy measures and initiatives across Western and Southern Europe seeking to reverse this and to raise educational access and attainment of the Roma population.This book offers an in-depth exploration into the current educational climate and the impact of these policy measures for Roma people in seven Western and Southern European countries: Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. This book seeks to raise awareness of this forgotten minority and to assess the policies implemented to integrate the Roma people into the education system. Written by experts across Western and Southern Europe and drawing on varied cultural perspectives, this work will help to address the severe lack of information and knowledge about the Roma people available in the public domain. This book will prove invaluable to those in the field of comparative education, educational leaders and practitioners in Western and Southern Europe and beyond.

Le temps où la formation initiale reçue suffisait à traverser quarante ans de carrière est fini. Aujourd'hui, nous devons non seulement changer de métiers plusieurs fois dans notre vie professionnelle, mais en plus, les métiers que nous devrons faire demain n'existent pas encore. Il devient donc indispensable de se former, en continu, ce qui n'est pas si évident tant nous n'aimons pas faire des efforts. Comment arriver à transformer notre intention de se former en action ? Comment aider les participants à des formations continues à mieux apprendre ? Comment les inciter à appliquer leurs nouvelles connaissances ? Le nudge peut vous aider. Littéralement « coup de pouce » pour aider à passer de l'intention à l'action, il est le bras armé des sciences comportementales qui nous apprennent que nous sommes des êtres irrationnels, émotionnels, emprunts d'habitudes, influencés par notre environnement physique et social. Vous découvrirez dans cet ouvrage comment, en s'appuyant sur les pédagogies alternatives et innovantes existantes ainsi que sur les avancées en neuro-pédagogie, l'approche de la formation par le nudge propose un changement du système éducatif par et pour les apprenants et les formateurs eux-mêmes. Grâce au nudge, vous apprendrez à créer un environnement de choix qui vous encouragera à prendre les bonnes décisions pour passer à l'action et réussir à vous former pendant vos études et tout au long de votre carrière. Conçu comme un véritable nudge, grâce à des quiz, des sketchnotes, sur un ton ludique et à la fois sérieux, ce livre s'adresse à tous les professionnels désireux d'évoluer ainsi qu'à tous les formateurs soucieux de mettre en place des formations efficaces.

Forschung zur Geschichte der Erwachsenenbildung vermag zur Relativierung, Veränderung, Begründung und Verortung vergangener und gegenwärtiger Praktiken beizutragen. Erwachsenenbildungswissenschaft bringt neue Verständnisse, Gegenstände, Quellen und Forschungsergebnisse ans Licht. Der Band versammelt ausgewählte und begutachtete Tagungsbeiträge der Wissenschaftler*innen, die ihre Arbeiten auf der Jahrestagung 2019 in Halle a. d. Saale präsentiert haben. Research on the history of adult education can above all contribute to the relativization, change, justification and location of current practice. Especially in the course of pluralization processes in adult education science and practice, understandings, objects, sources and types of results change. The volume brings together selected and peer-reviewed conference contributions from the scientists who presented their work at the annual meeting.
