Beratung hat sich in der Weiterbildung als immer wichtiger werdendes Thema etabliert. Die Felder von Beratung haben sich dementsprechend ausdifferenziert: Gab es früher vorwiegend Weiterbildungsberatung und sozialpädagogische Beratung für benachteiligte Zielgruppen, sind seit einigen Jahren Organisations- bzw. Institutionsberatung, für unterschiedliche Kontexte nutzbar gemachte Lernberatung, sowie Systemberatung dazugekommen. Beratung erhält geradezu den Charakter einer neuen flexiblen Informat…
Seit den 90er Jahren bestimmen „Organisation“ und „Entwicklung“ als Leitkategorien den Erwachsenenbildungsdiskurs. Neu ist, daß diese hier in ihrem Verweisungszusammenhang diskutiert werden. Die Frage nach der lernförderlichen Organisation von Weiterbildung kommt nicht ohne Rekurs auf die Entwicklungsrichtung von Bildungsprozessen aus: Welche individuellen Entwicklungsbedingungen ermöglichen selbstorganisiertes Lernen, und welche Organisationsformen fördern die lernende Organisation? Die Au…
This article reflects how preparation time for the 2006 World Cup in Germany was packed with daunting learning tasks and learning expectation and education metaphors. A distinction is made between two levels: first of all, with respect to the population at large, the expectation of being a model host inculcating the ideals of friendliness towards foreign nationals and a service mentality.

Depending on whether the adult education serves work related or private matters, the resources are made available by the employer or by the employee (time and money). In the discussion of lifelong learning the ins…
Research on learning - a retrospective The history of empirical research on adults’ learning reaches back until the twenties of the last century. This contribution evokes some interpretative research on the pedagogy of learning and teaching for adults. It seems that the adult education sciences’ disciplinary memory is underdeveloped as many instructive older analysis seem to have fallen into oblivion. Recent studies mostly don’t pay attention to the linkages and continuity of the questions. …
Teaching and learning situations are only super ficially described as transfer of knowledge. Beneath that surface complex processes of understanding influence the teacher-learner as well as the learner-learner interaction. Learners bring previous knowledge, experiences and attitudes into the classroom which may facilitate but also inhibit learning; they are not usually invited to express their beliefs, doubts and expectations and make them part of their individual learning prcoesses.

During the last two decades, widening adult participation in higher education has become a central issue in international and especially European lifelong learning policy debates. At European level this is reflected in the Europe 2020 strategy set out by the European Commission. One headline target is to boost the share of the population aged 30–34 that has completed tertiary or equivalent education to 40 per cent by 2020. In the face of general trends such as the intensive use of ICT, the evol…
