Research Project - TTOP - Taking to the Top - Adult Educators on the Journey (original) (raw)

Abstract

The project provides an opportunity to reduce the fragmentation and conform the approach towards the quality of training. Professionals: adult educators, stakeholders and other partners in the field of adult education develop a curriculum framework based on methodological approach that provides a common ground to validate adult education in different countries. In addition to the curriculum framework, “The Map of the Practices in the Field of Adult Educators’ Training” is also developed, providing an overview of the different roles of adult educators (e.g. leader, teacher, public figure, organiser, researcher-practitioner, tutor, counsellor, etc.) as well as the respective competences. In order to outline the applicable guidelines for the curriculum framework, “Recommendations for Implementation of Curriculum Framework” is prepared. The process of development also makes good use of the existing resources/ instruments that have been prepared earlier. The project will also provide new learning opportunities for adult educators who work in the field of non-formal education. The development of the curriculum framework is essential in order to improve the quality of training of the adult educators who train the target groups on basic skills. The innovative element of the project lies in the determination and specification of transnational competence framework for adult educators. In the European and global context, ICT, global, cultural and social competences have become increasingly relevant and will be paid special attention to in the development of the curriculum framework. Development of the curriculum framework and its implementation in different EU countries unifies the attitudes of adult educators, conforms the principles of adult training and leads to the quality improvement in the field of adult education.
