References to theory of present research on further education Commonly in the scientific discourse one distinguishes between basic research and implementation orientated research. The latter often takes place as order research that in the ususal case is application orientated and practice orientated. This type of research often exhibits only an implicit reference to theory as several examples show. In this context an intensified co-operation between basic research and implementation orientat…
Consequences from subject-orientated research: questions to a media- and adult didactical requirement Based on empirical results that are currently available on subject-scientific basis on e-learning, the author wants to pose questions to media- and adult didactical set-ups. He asks these questions pointedly by bringing the “burning glass-thesis” up for discussion. Thereby it needs to be clarified, which characteristics justify a specific media-didactical discussion. Because these specific r…
Research activities in adult education are currently only partially visible and dispersed across numerous data sources. This report examines existing information resources and identifies limitations in terms of completeness, accessibility and technical interoperability. To improve the long-term visibility of research and provide a reliable basis for research on the discipline itself, existing infrastructures should be more closely interconnected, persistent identifiers such as ORCID systematica…
