Die Professionalisierung pädagogischen Personals gewinnt auch auf europäischer Ebene -nicht zuletzt im Kontext des Lebenslangen Lernens - an Bedeutung zu. Insofern ist es nur folgerichtig, dass auch in der europäischen Fachgesellschaft ESREA ein neues thematisches Netzwerk in diesem Feld gegründet wurde.
ESREA network for the adult educator, trainer and professional development
The general scope of this recently established network is to provide input on how to improve the conditions needed for the personal and professional development of adult educators and trainers, enhancing the attractiveness of their profession and therefore strengthening the idea of quality in adult education in Europe. This is to be achieved by stipulating some insight into key issues and challenges related to the adult educator and related staff, and by highlighting essential areas of action, current trends, good practices and relevant policies. On these grounds the aim of the network is threefold:
- To bring forward the experience from all around Europe, on issues pertaining to the multiple roles, practices and settings in which adult educators and related staff act and grow.
- To report on current European projects and stimulate research in this area.
- To explore the way/s in which policies develop and analyze their possible impact.
Die Koordinatoren des Netzwerkes sind Georgios Zafiris von der Universität Thessaloniki, Larissa Jõgi von der Universität Tallin und Wolfgang Jütte von der Universität Bielefeld. Die erste Konferenz zum Themenfeld Qualität wird vom 6.-8 November 2009 in Thessaloniki stattfinden. Der Call for Papers ist soeben erschienenen; die Deadline ist der 11. Mai 2009.
Aim of the conference: The network’s inaugural meeting is planned to be a forum for exchanging theoretical considerations and empirical evidence, between researchers studying the different roles and tasks of the adult educator and trainer and the ways that these are assessed, as well as issues relating to the quality of their training (initial and continuing) and their professional development. The meeting aims to bring together participants from different disciplines and countries who are interested in these topics. The
conference is also open to practitioners who are working in adult training organizations or educational structures that provide for adults including universities. Thus, the conference will bring insights from different parts of the academia together with insights from the field. The conference itself will therefore be a site of cross‐disciplinary learning.
