Despite the international consensus that literacy skills determine opportunities and provide access to today’s information-based societies, many adults in both industrialized and developing countries find themselves …
Subjects move and act in spatial contexts and through their actions, they create spaces. This also applies to adult learning and to the professional practice of adult education, yet the systematic incorporation of spatial aspects into adult education research to date has remained marginal.

It brings together the relevant theoretical discourses, summarizes…
»57/07« steckt den zeitlichen Horizont ab, der die Geschichte des Instituts markiert: 1957 gegründet, wird das DIE im Herbst 2007 50 Jahre alt. So ist die vorliegende Ausgabe eine Festausgabe – und irgendwie auch doch nicht. Wie in der DIE Zeitschrift üblich, soll nicht das Institut selbst im Mittelpunkt stehen, sondern das, was draußen passiert (ist).

This article presents the findings of a research project on structure and change in continuing education in Bremen, set out as a longitudinal analysis of selected years between 1979 and 2006. At the level of the continuing education system as a whole, the author identifies a certain structural stability evident from the fact that despite a growth in the number of market-oriented providers from 1996 to 2006, their competition – providers under public law – retained its structural influence on th…
