Using the example of the integrated further education of the police of the land Brandenburg this paper examines how a profound measure of reorganisation can be supported by a behaviour oriented further education. Possibilities are being shown of how to achieve the necessary behavioural changes within the larger frame of a reform process with the help of a framework of further education within the organization itself. Changing established patterns of behaviour of adults has proved to be very dif…

While the calls to take more notice of the significance of migration for adult education are loud and clear, notably little attention is paid to them with regard to work on categories. In adult education, fundamental theoretical work on definitions of “migration” is still far from complete. Even though individual studies deal with the term, it seems that attempts to clarify categories remain scarce. If adult education research on migration has a genuine interest in examining the risks of the hi…
In adult education as an almost deregulated educational sector, governance happens indirectly via support programs and educational initiatives. Money plays a central role as a medium of governance and is also used to promote quality management systems. Quality management itself unrolls a governing capacity in the adult education system: in doing so, different models stress different starting points for quality development. This paper responds to the question which factors influence the developm…
Stepped courses of studies and professionalization of adult education Reflections against the background of first experiences at the Ruhr-University Bochum The contribution takes the occasion of the dynamics of reform, with the transposition of the study into two cycles, to show policy-making decisions which need to be made for the study offers in the area of adult education.

These quality standards can be the precondition for a comparability of organisations and they can also be quality standards for their organisation’s evaluation by internal or external evaluators a…
Through their employment in adult education, or as an additional means of learning alongside adult education, the media contribute towards the shedding of limitations of the place of learning and are themselves places of disengagement at the same time. The author, in a media-analytic perspective, outlines how communicators from the world of publishing are integrated into the didactic triangle and thus devaluate the pedagogical frame of the learning situation. At the same time new structures are…
Der Umgang mit Unsicherheiten, Mehrdeutigkeiten und Ambivalenzen stellt eine individuelle, gesellschaftliche und politische Herausforderung dar. Das Heft möchte Ambiguität und Ambivalenz in ihren verschiedenen Bezügen zur Erwachsenenbildung theoretisch und empirisch betrachten. Dabei soll der ambivalente Charakter von Ambiguität als bildungsproduktives und zuweilen auch -hinderliches Phänomen deutlich werden.
