Values & Changes in Vocational Education
|
The emerging knowledge economy demands a new relation between ‘education’ and ‘industry’ for its competitiveness in global capitalism today, blurring the boundary between learning and work, the public and the private, and knowledge business and public education at all levels. The idea of knowledge as capital underlying this demand changes the nature of knowledge for the educational concern. What does this imply for education in general and schooling in particular? How can we cope with so-called ‘the end of Education’ as a knowledge transmission? Can we re-conceive the post-industrial selfhood, sensitive to the changed economic environment while resisting dehumanization, self-fragmentation and nihilist culture consequent on the knowledge economy? Can the cultivation of humanity be a way of responding to this double challenge? What is the role of knowledge in cultivating humanity in future generation? Cultural differences represent the different meaning and value of knowledge. Different cultural understandings of knowledge and learning from the East and West may be jointly explored in search for a new vision of future education.

Educating the adult educator: Quality Provision - Assessment in Europe
Host Georgios Zarifis, gzarifis(at)edlit.auth.gr
Quality is considered as a prerequisite for sustainable development in our societies, because it upholds and conveys the ideals of a sustainable world, by taking into consideration the social, economic and environmental context. In the European context quality in adult and continuing education and training may be defined as locally relevant but also culturally appropriate. It would be impossible however to discuss quality in adult and continuing education and training in Europe without considering the quality of the teaching and training staff involved, considering that the scope of adult and continuing education as it is prescribed in Europe today is to provide education for people to be better individuals, family members, community members, employees and citizens. Quality in this respect should include outcomes -occasionally measurable- that encompass knowledge, skills and attitudes that are linked to the adult educator’s profile, tasks, roles and practices. Definitions of quality nonetheless must be open to change and evolution, based on information, changing contexts, and new understandings of the nature of the challenges faced by the adult educator.
