Im Zuge der Öffnung der Hochschulen adressiert wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung eine Zielgruppe, welche ein hohes Maß an Vielfalt charakterisiert. Als Teil der Professionalisierung auf diesem Gebiet sind die Bedarfe der Zielgruppe dabei zunehmend in den Fokus gerückt. Um diesen adäquat gerecht zu werden, müssen verschiedenste Ansprüche unterschiedlichster Personen im Vorfeld eruiert und in der Angebotsentwicklung umgesetzt werden. Obwohl dabei ein grundsätzlich inklusiver Gedanke naheliegend ist, hat die Inklusionsdebatte diesen Bereich der Erwachsenenbildung bisher kaum erfasst und der bisherige Forschungsdiskurs zur Professionalisierung auf diesem Gebiet ist wenig ausgeprägt. Bisherige Forschungsarbeiten im Rahmen eines Verbundprojekts „Entwicklung als Exponent individueller und regionaler Entwicklung“ (EB) deuten darauf hin, dass insbesondere der Einsatz digitaler Medien in Lehr-/ Lernkontexten vielversprechende Potenziale zur Inklusion von Personen mit Beeinträchtigungen bietet, jedoch auch Exklusionspotenziale mit sich bringen kann. Der Beitrag argumentiert, dass die intensivere Professionalisierung von Mitarbeitenden in wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildungseinrichtungen zur Förderung der inklusiven Potenziale digitaler Medien beitragen kann. Anhand der Daten einer Expertenbefragung zentraler AkteurInnen wissenschaftlicher Weiterbildungszentren wird ein erster Überblick darüber erhoben, inwiefern inklusionspädagogische Kompetenzen der Angebotsentwickelnden eine Rolle für die wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung spielen und an welcher Stelle dabei besondere Qualifizierungsbedarfe und Herausforderungen vorliegen.Abstract In the course of the opening of universities, scientific further education addresses a target group that is characterized by a high degree of diversity. As part of the professionalization in this field, the needs of the target group have increasingly moved into focus. In order to meet these needs adequately, the most diverse requirements of different people must be determined in advance and implemented in the development of the program. Although a fundamentally inclusive idea is obvious here, the inclusion debate has hardly covered this area of adult education to date and the research discourse to date on professionalization in this field is not very pronounced. Previous research work conducted as part of a joint project on "Development as an exponent of individual and regional development" (EB) indicates that the use of digital media in teaching/learning contexts in particular offers promising potential for the inclusion of persons with disabilities, but can also entail exclusion potential. The paper argues that the more intensive professionalization of employees in academic continuing education institutions can help to promote the inclusive potential of digital media. Based on data from an expert survey of central players in continuing education centers, an initial overview is provided of the extent to which the inclusion pedagogical skills of those developing courses play a role in continuing education in science and where there are particular qualification requirements and challenges.

The paper attempts to discuss processes and strategies for innovations in schools. Committed and thoughtful teacher educators, translate their knowledge, expertise, skills and research work for bringing innovations in the teaching learning process in order to keep the system most engaged and updated. The notion of shared explicit philosophy of teaching learning is central, to innovations in the schools. There are mainly four responsible factors perceived in implementation of innovation in any organisation more so, in educational institutions, namely systems support, encouragement to creativity, autonomy and conformity. Fundamentals of innovations provide some insight in to the scope of educational innovation in school education in India. These are mostly based on unique personalised experiences of the learners and the learners retain centrality of focus. Rewards and recognition are the motivating force for fresh innovative ideas and practices. Individual, Institution and Implementation were three vital points for Innovation.

This article presents findings from the Changing Youth Labour Markets and Schools to Work Transitions in Modern Britain projects undertaken between 2009 and 2010. The projects examined young people's experiences and perceptions about study, work, and the future while going through transitions. The target group was young people on vocational courses at further education colleges in London aged between 18 and 24. This group is an under-researched cohort, who is neither NEET nor following 'tidy' pathways. We apply the conceptual framework of temporal orientations of agency, originally proposed by Emirbayer and Mische (1998). We discuss the interplay between young people's agency and the contexts in which they live.

The advent of ICT has made monumental changes in the world presently. This digital phenomenon has had effect in every facet of human life or endeavor. The introduction of ICT in education helped to improve the quality of education at the point where teaching and learning eventually became an engaging active process related to real life. The present study intends to collate the findings from a review of array of available literature related to the effects of ICT on education. The 21st century teaching and learning skills emphasize the need to transform the conventional teacher-centered pedagogy to more learner-centered methodology. Active and collaborative learning conditions facilitated by ICT helps to develop a knowledge-centered student community. This research work gives an insight into the use of ICT in the field of education, focusing on its impact on teaching learning process, quality, and accessibility of education, motivating learners, learning environment and students’ academic performance.

This research work shows a comparative study between using and not using the electronic module called Funcimat and its incidence in the students’ academic performance. The students who were considered for this experiment belonged to the first semester of the Agronomy School. This group, which was divided in two, served as the experiment and the control samples. The experiment was based on the teaching – learning process of Mathematics. Funcimat was applied to one group, and the traditional methodology and techniques were applied to the other group. In order to demonstrate the hypothesis, the Chi squared test was applied to see the difference of proportions and correlation since the idea is to compare Funcimat incidence on the academic performance. The results obtained before and after the experiment determined that there are significant differences between the traditional methodology and the alternative guidelines. Funcimat allows the students to build their own reasoning scenario about mathematical reasoning. This way they develop knowledge and skills to solve each one of the proposed mathematical functions.

Abstract In this text, the DGB develops proposals from a trade union point of view, on how to tackle the emerging structural transformation that will affect large parts of the manufacturing industry. Given the importance of this sector, it is justifiable for the state to use public funds to accompany these structural changes, especially since part of the changes are also a result of state intervention. The primary focus should be set on continuing education and training. The arguments made against subsidized training can be largely refuted in this context. Continuing education and training can be supported by the counselling services of the Employment Agencies. Company training plans can assure that no group of employees is left behind and that the trainings that are carried out are future-oriented. Finally, the financial participation of employers is also a guarantee that no “training for stock” will take place. The instrument of short-time-work must also come into use. However, the conditions in which it can be employed should be expanded and tailored to meet the current challenges. Short-time-work should also be possible in case of a “technological and ecological transformation, leading to massive and rapid changes in the conditions of production”. The IG Metall proposal of a “transformation short-time-work allowance” provides a good basis for this discussion. Another potential source for skilled workers are the currently unemployed persons. Studies show that more unemployed persons would undergo a vocational training if the financial framework conditions were better. The DGB has proposed that an additional allowance should be granted to this group during measures of further education. Such an allowance would particularly support the recipients of minimum income provisions, of whom a large number doesn’t have any completed vocational training.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the effectiveness of Project Based Learning (PBL) in comparison to the prevailing English language pedagogy. Design/methodology/approach – The pre-test/post-test experimental design with one control and one treatment group was used to complete the study that was carried out for 12 weeks. In all, 140 female students enrolled in Grade-XI at a public college in Karachi, Pakistan, were randomly divided into the two groups to compare the traditional pedagogy with the proposed PBL method. The participants in the experiment and control groups were taught the same prescribed curriculum using the PBL and traditional pedagogy, respectively. Findings – The study shows PBL to be a better instructional method as compared to the existing traditional pedagogy for teaching compulsory English at public colleges. The participants in the experiment group who were taught through PBL performed better on different curriculum areas as established through the pre- and post-test scores; and they were also found better motivated towards the English course. The data analyses and interpretation suggests that PBL can easily replace the conventional pedagogy and can improve compulsory English teaching – learning practices and outcomes at public colleges in Pakistan. Research limitations/implications – One major limitation was that the PBL methodology was to focus around the curriculum content; and, finally, assess students on the lines as they need preparation for the state-held end of year examinations which serve as the qualification for admission to undergraduate study at universities. The present study was carried out at just one institution comprising female only population; hence the results need validation at other institutions having male or mixed populations. The study cultivated a culture among language teachers for experimenting with different pedagogies, consequently, alongside PBL other language pedagogies may be tried to improve teaching- and learning of compulsory English. The study demonstrated that there is an interest in teachers and learners both for improving current practices and culture. Also, the required resources and that enable this desired change are available within the existing academic set up. Practical implications – This study attempts to solve a serious problem faced by teachers and learners pursuing English course at colleges. It tests out a pedagogy that teachers may adopt within the existing setups. Social implications – The students graduating from tertiary education institutes in Pakistan desperately need good language and communication skills for further education and career. Due to ineffective language teaching, these students are unable to develop the needed language skills, and consequently miss out on different opportunities. Originality/value – This paper is among the foremost experimental study undertaken to reform language teaching at public colleges in Pakistan. It proposes a practical solution to replace the traditional pedagogy and enables teachers and students to engage in teaching learning of English more meaningfully.

The employment opportunity policy for persons with disabilities is a policy established by the Government which aims to provide employment opportunities and create employment opportunities for persons with disabilities in order to create equal employment rights between persons with disabilities and normal society so that discrimination against persons with disabilities is eliminated. This study aims to look at the implementation of employment opportunities policies for persons with disabilities in Pekanbaru City and the factors that influence the implementation of these policies. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation. This study uses the theory of policy implementation according to Merilee S. Grindle which consists of two indicators that affect the performance of public policy implementation, namely indicators of policy content which include the interests of the target group, types of benefits, degree of desired change, location of decision making, program implementers, resources involved, and indicators of the implementation environment consisting of the powers, interests, and strategies of the actors involved; characteristics of institutions and authorities; compliance and responsiveness. The results of this study are the finding of deficiencies that must be considered to be improved, namely in the aspect of implementing responsiveness (lack of socialization) so that policy implementation has not run optimally in Pekanbaru City. Researchers also found several factors that influence the implementation of this policy in Pekanbaru City, namely the objectives of the policy, human resources, economic conditions, as well as the response and participation of the target group.

This article is based on a research aiming to contextualize the fundamental principles of art and design to current setting in which analog media are no longer chosen as the ultimate hardware/tools. It is important considering digital hardware becomes more and more prevalent even preferred by students, whereas analog tools are getting harder to obtain, expensive and less ecological friendly. The goal of this research is to produce method analysis and the creation of two-dimensional basic design through digital media (Camera) followed by conventional drawing tools, documented and conducted by the lecturers and the students. So far, almost 100% of the studies concerning basic design could only be found in foreign publications, with visual work examples that cannot be used freely in Indonesian local education due to copyright issue. Therefore, a literature study is conducted to examine the formal objects of this research which are the elements and fundamental principles in design, followed by ideation and visualization processes carried by the students in basic design classes through the semester. The visualization itself will integrate analog and digital media to generate the material objects of the research, which is a series of two dimensional design compositions. These compositions are then analyzed and classified to taxonomic category of fundamental principles of two-dimensional design as an integral part of teaching-learning process (self-evaluation class for future improvement).
