This book was released on 2000 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes and analyzes the situation of nonformal learning in Spain. Chapter 1 describes the Spanish context by looking at qualification as the point of departure; recent changes in the industrial fabric of Spain and the birth of a new social and institutional view of qualification; the reform of vocational education and training; informal learning in Spain; and the status of work experience in the social debate. Chapter 2 describes and analyzes the schemes and initiatives set up to identify, recognize, and establish the role played by nonformal learning in the social process of constructing qualifications. Five areas in which nonformal learning is recognized and assessed are addressed: the role played by nonformal learning in public employment policies; the status given to nonformal learning by the education authorities, provisions for access to the formal education system, and the scope for recognition of nonformal qualifications; the new national system of qualifications and the creation of the national institute for qualifications; certificates of occupational proficiency; and recognition of nonformal learning within the field of collective bargaining. Chapter 3 considers the direction in which recognition of work-based learning will move, including certificates of occupational proficiency and vocational titles. Chapter 4 draws conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a study to provide a picture of the stage of development, level, and nature of the debate on nonformal learning in Greece. It describes the national debate on questions of identification, assessment, and recognition of nonformal learning, including means, motives, and areas of agreement and conflict. Then, it describes existing and proposed methodologies and systems based on viewpoints and debates involving stakeholders. Links between initiatives related to nonformal learning assessment and the national qualification standards/framework are explored, and reference is made to areas of importance and concern. Finally, effectiveness, legitimacy, and validity of existing methods and experiences are assessed, including issues of mobility and visibility. Gaps and weaknesses are highlighted, and reflections on the future are expressed. Findings indicate that the past 3-4 years have witnessed the beginning of an awareness and interest by social partners and the government in Greece to issues related to identification, assessment, and recognition of nonformal learning. There is evidence of an initial level of dialogue on the issue but no coordinated integrated approach. Interest in the issues around nonformal learning focus essentially on recognition of nonformal vocational training and regulation over time of certain professions and trades, in a piecemeal and limited way, with inconsistent outcomes.

Download or read book From Formal to Non Formal written by Polona Kelava and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph From Formal to Non-Formal: Education, Learning and Knowledge presents a review of selected aspects of non-formal education and learning, and is written by António Fragoso, Petra Javrh, Polona Kelava, Taja Kramberger, Nives Ličen, Marko Radovan, Drago B. Rotar, Klara Skubic Ermenc, Tadej Vidmar, Igor Ž. Žagar, Tihomir Žiljak and Sabina Žnidaršič Žagar. These authors are all anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, political scientists, education scientists and historians of education. As such, the subject covered is a broad one and reaches into fields that at first glance appear to be very distant from each other. It is precisely this diversity of approaches that offers the best promise of new findings regarding non-formal learning, education and knowledge and that represents a fruitful basis for further reflection on these topics. The monograph thus offers answers to some starting points for reflection on the increasingly varied dimensions and possibilities of formal, non–formal and informal knowledge and learning.
Download or read book Global Perspectives on Recognising Non formal and Informal Learning written by Madhu Singh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the relevance of recognition and validation of non-formal and informal learning education and training, the workplace and society. In an increasing number of countries, it is at the top of the policy and research agenda ranking among the possible ways to redress the glaring lack of relevant academic and vocational qualifications and to promote the development of competences and certification procedures which recognise different types of learning, including formal, non-formal and informal learning. The aim of the book is therefore to present and share experience, expertise and lessons in such a way that enables its effective and immediate use across the full spectrum of country contexts, whether in the developing or developed world. It examines the importance of meeting institutional and political requirements that give genuine value to the recognition of non-formal and informal learning; it shows why recognition is important and clarifies its usefulness and the role it serves in education, working life and voluntary work; it emphasises the importance of the coordination, interests, motivations, trust and acceptance by all stakeholders. The volume is also premised on an understanding of a learning society, in which all social and cultural groups, irrespective of gender, race, social class, ethnicity, mental health difficulties are entitled to quality learning throughout their lives. Overall the thrust is to see the importance of recognising non-formal and informal learning as part of the larger movement for re-directing education and training for change. This change is one that builds on an equitable society and economy and on sustainable development principles and values such as respect for others, respect for difference and diversity, exploration and dialogue.

Download or read book Education in Emerging Global Society written by Justus Macias and published by Scientific e-Resources. This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education has always played an important role in shaping the destinies of societies through development of the whole individual. It is the most powerful instrument for achieving goals of economic development, technological progress and also for establishing social cohesion. Education is a dynamic process, changing with the prevailing Socio-Politico-Economic conditions and fast expanding knowledge over the years. In the recent years the need for reconstructing education has been felt acutely. The present book is a modest effort in this direction. It makes an in depth study of emerging issues unraveling relationships between education and development in Indian society. Quickly outlining the concept and nature of education, it presents in detail its approaches and dimensions, history and development. It analytically studies the trends, processes, ideals and philosophy of education against the backdrop of Indian society. It brings to light the elements, mission and aspirations of Indian society. The book is undoubtedly an authentic source for all information on education. Basic in language and lucid in style, the book is concise and easily comprehensible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Agora allowed us to advance the notion of recognising learning. One of its main conclusions is that we need to lift the processes and practices linked to the identification, assessment and recognition of non-formal learning out of the usual school-based mould. Only then will these practices be able effectively to stimulate and promote general and vocational training at any age, serving both individuals and society at large.
Download or read book Sociology Education written by Joshua Campbell and published by Scientific e-Resources. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers, parents, students and the governmental agencies are involved in the process of education. The social levels from whom teachers and students come go to determine the quality of education. The process like the community from whom the teachers come and the communities from whom the students can go a long way in influencing the curriculum contents and the outcome of learning. The major problem of any system of education is the outcome of learning after students learn the curriculum and go back to their home as trained citizens of a civilized society. The book has in its contents much to help and guide the students to choose any one of the professional alternatives to decide the direction of their careers. This book, thus, provides many educational ideas for both teachers and students, and as such, this book is a must for all educational institutions and interested persons as well. This unique book is an incomparable title for today's educational researchers and will prove to be insightful with the continuing studies in sociology of education and sociology and education.

Download or read book Homo Sapiens Europ us written by Michael Kuhn and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many ways, education mirrors society by reflecting changing and emergent goals and values as well as by contributing to both the reproduction and production of particular life forms. In the context of the formative project «Europe, » education is called upon to play an increasingly central role, one that is responsive to particular images of the European Union and to its aspirations and goals. The widespread conviction is that education and training will re-invigorate ailing economies, and that, in the context of globalization, national and regional competitiveness will only prevail if there is a qualitative continued improvement in human capital. This volume critically examines such claims, considering the ways in which learning is being constructed across Europe and the implications this has for notions of democratic citizenship and education.
