Die allgemeine, öffentliche Erwachsenenbildung folgt traditionell dem (inklusiven) Prinzip einer Bildung für Alle. Fragen der Bildungsbenachteiligung, Zielgruppendifferenzierung oder Heterogenität werden sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Praxis virulent. Diskussionen über eine Steigerung der Bildungsteilnahme von Menschen mit Behinderung finden hingegen eher zögerlich statt und werden vermehrt seit der Ratifizierung der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention in Deutschland geführt. Die Qualifizierung des Personals – häufig konkretisiert in Fortbildungen – stellt dabei ein zentrales Element für eine inklusive Ausrichtung der allgemeinen, öffentlichen Erwachsenenbildung dar. Der Beitrag behandelt die Frage, wie sich die aktuelle Fortbildungspraxis zu Inklusion gestaltet. Auf der Grundlage empirischer Teilergebnisse eines Projekts zur inklusiven Erwachsenenbildung werden Umsetzungsrealitäten vorgestellt und Impulse für eine Professionalitätsentwicklung diskutiert. Die Befunde beziehen sich auf das institutionelle Feld von Volkshochschule und werden am Beispiel der Fortbildungspraxis von Kursleitungen eruiert. Aus einer Organisationsperspektive werden Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen einer Professionalitätsentwicklung für eine inklusive Erwachsenenbildung – im Besonderen von Lehrpersonal an Volkshochschulen – erfasst.Abstract General public adult education traditionally follows the (inclusive) principle of education for all. Questions of educational disadvantage target group differentiation or heterogeneity are virulent in both science and practice. Discussions about increasing the participation of people with disabilities are rather hesitant and have been held more and more since the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Germany. The qualification of staff often specified in further training is a key element for the inclusive orientation of general public adult education. The article deals with the question of how the current training practice on inclusion is organised. On the basis of empirical partial results of a project on inclusive adult education implementation realities are presented and impulses for a professional development are discussed. The findings relate to the institutional field of adult education centres and are determined by using the example of the continuing training practice of course leaders. From an organisational perspective opportunities and challenges for professional development for inclusive adult education in particular teaching staff at adult education centres are covered.

Even before the 2001 enactment of the No Child Left Behind legislation, the education bill that holds schools in the US accountable for student achievement, ‘adult education [had] become part and parcel of the new federal trend to encourage the setting of national education goals and standards and holding programs accountable for demonstrating achievements’ (Sticht 1998). Now, almost ten years after enacting the Workforce Investment Act (1998), the legislation that required states to report how adult students were making progress towards educational and work goals, the field is just beginning to take stock of whether accountability has helped or hurt our adult education system.In the US school system (kindergarten to 12th grade for children five to 18), several researchers have investigated the effect of stronger accountability requirements on professional development systems. Berry et al. (2003), in a study of 250 teachers and principals in schools across six Southeastern US states found that results were mixed:Although high-stakes accountability systems help focus professional development efforts on the curricular needs of students, little evidence exists to support the claim that such systems help teachers change their practice to enhance student learning...A tendency exists…to narrow the focus of professional development activities to tested subjects or provide general support that is disconnected from curricular needs.

Preparation of undergraduates and privat-docents for professorship in the late XIX – early XX century is considered on the example of Moscow University through the prism of the biography of a historian and a jurist Sergei Andreevich Kotlyarevsky. The uniqueness of his example lies in the fact that he defended four dissertations: master’s and doctoral dissertations on foreign history and master’s and doctoral dissertations on public law. This demonstrates some individualism of the trajectory showing his professional development and formation as a scientist and a teacher. The research perspective includes the process of young scientists’ formation from the moment of continuing working at the university’s profile department to prepare a dissertation up to obtaining the degree. Attention is paid to socio-political circumstances and conditions affecting the possibility of becoming a professional scientist and teacher. Both formal and special features of the training scientific and teaching staff inherent in a particular scientific community are noted. The professional development of future scientists and teachers of higher education was associated with active preparation for the defense of the master’s exam, the first teaching experience, scientific and research work. The best graduates were left at the departments with the support of leading university professors who saw new forces and future professionals in them. However, the personal contribution of the applicants themselves was important, since they were required to reveal their intellectual potential, pedagogical and research skills. At this, an important aspect was the opportunity to go on foreign business trips, in which not only the material of scientific research was collected, but knowledge was enriched as well, including getting to know the peculiarities of teaching in European countries and their socio-political life. The preparation process was completed with the public defense of the master’s dissertation and awarding a master’s degree. At the same time, the path to the teaching environment began, which required further disclosure of scientific potential and the defense of a doctoral dissertation in order to obtain a professorship.

A felnőttnevelési szakemberek szakmai fejlesztésének kérdésköre a 2000-es évek után nyert létjogosultságot Európa-szerte, amelyhez hozzájárult a Making a European Area of Lifelong Learning a Reality dokumentum megjelenése (European Commission, 2001). A tanulmány érzékelteti, hogy a felnőttnevelési szakemberképzés témaköre egyre nagyobb teret nyer a nemzetközi kutatási szférában, a nemzeti szakmai tanulmányok áttekintésének eredménye alapján arra következtet, hogy Magyarországon továbbra is csekély mértékben valósulnak meg elméleti és főként empirikus vizsgálatok a felnőttnevelési szakemberek professzionalizációjának kérdéskörében. The issue of professional development for adult education professionals gained legitimacy across Europe after the 2000s, helped by the publication of the document Making a European Area of Lifelong Learning a Reality (European Commission, 2001).The study shows that the topic of adult education professional training is gaining more and more ground in the international research sphere, with an overview of national professional studies.Based on the results of its work, it concludes that in Hungary, there is still a small amount of theoretical and mainly empirical research on the issue of professionalisation of adult education professionals.

The readiness of the teaching staff of higher educational institutions for teaching and psychological and pedagogical support of students with disabilities is being considered. We emphasize that the personnel of the educational organization need special competence to work with persons with disabilities of various nosological groups. The issues of creating an accessible environment in the university were studied, the readiness of teachers to apply special educational technologies in the training of students with disabilities, to develop teaching and methodological materials; the ability to establish pedagogically appropriate relationships with students, and provide psychological and pedagogical support in matters of personal and professional self-determination. The results show a high degree of importance of special professional competencies for inclusive education. But, at the same time, teachers assess their own level of preparedness with students with disabilities as insufficient, which allowed to determine the main areas of work.
