Given the high prevalence of psychological distress among vocational training (VT) students, this study aimed to assess the role of interpersonal emotional competence as a resilience factor promoting the educational success of this population. We postulated that emotional competence would promote educational success, both directly and indirectly by fostering students’ help-seeking intentions when facing a personal or school-related problem. To test these hypotheses, we used a sample of 219 VT students from the Canadian province of Quebec (68% women, Mage = 24.58; SDage = 7.95) enrolled in various programs (e.g. institutional and home care assistance, welding and fitting, secretarial studies, and professional cooking). These students were assessed two times, during the first half of their training and again after their training. Results from structural equation modelling revealed that emotional competence was a positive predictor of help-seeking intentions and educational success. However, having the intention to seek help did not translate into higher levels of educational success. Overall, these results highlight the importance of supporting VT students in the development and strengthening of their emotional competence to promote their educational success. Future research is needed to further understand the help-seeking process among VT students and its implications for their academic outcomes.
鉴于职业培训(VT)学生中心理困扰的高发率,本研究旨在评估人际情感能力作为促进该人群教育成功的抗逆因素的作用。我们假设,当学生面临个人或学校相关问题时,情绪能力会直接或间接地促进他们的求助意向,从而促进教育成功。为了验证这些假设,我们使用了来自加拿大魁北克省的 219 名 VT 学生(68% 为女性,Mage = 24.58;SDage = 7.95)作为样本,这些学生就读于不同的专业(如机构和家庭护理助理、焊接与装配、秘书学习和专业烹饪)。这些学生分别在培训的前半期和培训结束后接受了两次评估。结构方程模型的结果显示,情绪能力对求助意向和教育成功有积极的预测作用。然而,有求助意向并不能转化为更高水平的教育成功。总之,这些结果凸显了支持 VT 学生发展和加强其情绪能力以促进其教育成功的重要性。未来的研究需要进一步了解 VT 学生的求助过程及其对学业成绩的影响。

The German tradition of critical theory (often called the Frankfurt School), represented by such authors as Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Oskar Negt, have given crucial contributions to social and cultural theory in investigating and conceptualizing contradictory conditions of modern Western societies. This paper will discuss the ways in which these critical theorists have approached adult learning and education. Important elements are the role of adult learning in confronting the past and the present of Western societies (Adorno, Horkheimer) and the potential of experience-based learning in supporting open and democratic cultures and communities (Negt). Except for Negt, adult education was a minor topic for these critical theory scholars. Nevertheless, their contributions include important comments on and implications for adult education policy, including questions such as the responsibility of states for education, the democratic character of educational institutions, and the relationship between skills for work and for civil life. Critical theory holds important insights in the societal embedding of adult education and consequences for the objectives. These insights can guide (and have guided) critical research in adult education policy, but they need to be combined with policy analysis concepts and systematic empirical work.
以西奥多-阿多诺(Theodor Adorno)、马克斯-霍克海默(Max Horkheimer)和奥斯卡-奈格 特(Oskar Negt)等作家为代表的德国批判理论传统(常被称为法兰克福学派),在调查和概 念现代西方社会的矛盾状况方面,为社会和文化理论做出了重要贡献。本文将讨论这些批判理论家是如何看待成人学习和教育的。重要内容包括成人学习在面对西方社会的过去和现在时所发挥的作用(阿多诺、霍克海默),以及以经验为基础的学习在支持开放和民主的文化和社区方面所具有的潜力(奈格特)。除 Negt 外,成人教育对这些批判理论学者来说只是一个次要的话题。然而,他们的贡献包括对成人教育政策的重要评论和影响,其中包括国家的教育责任、教育机构的民主性质以及工作技能和公民生活技能之间的关系等问题。批判理论对成人教育的社会嵌入和目标后果具有重要的洞察力。这些见解可以指导(并且已经指导)成人教育政策的批判性研究,但需要与政策分析概念 和系统的实证工作相结合。

Higher education opens doors to job enhancement and economic benefits to adult learners. Despite facing multiple barriers such as life–work–school time conflicts and financial constraints, adult learners continue to seek higher education and certifications. Rural employers also benefit from supporting degree completion or job-specific certifications because it allows them to attract and retain highly skilled employees. The goal of the current study was to qualitatively analyze data gathered from focus group interviews of senior managers. The results provide insights into how rural employers in the United States use employee education programs to reduce barriers to adult learner success. The importance of a bilateral relationship between institutions of higher education and employers to support adult learners is discussed.
高等教育为成人学习者打开了提高工作和经济效益的大门。尽管面临着生活-工作-学校时间冲突和经济限制等多重障碍,成人学习者仍继续寻求高等教育和认证。农村雇主也能从支持学位完成或特定工作认证中受益,因为这能让他们吸引并留住高技能员工。本研究的目标是对从高级管理人员焦点小组访谈中收集到的数据进行定性分析。研究结果提供了有关美国农村雇主如何利用员工教育计划减少成人学员成功障碍的见解。研究还讨论了高等教育机构与雇主之间建立双边关系以支持成人学员的重要性。

This study aimed to investigate students’ digital (ICT) skills, perceived relevance (usefulness), and actual use of digital (ICTs) skills for learning. Data were obtained via Google Forms from 325 students who were conveniently sampled from two public universities in Ghana. The results from the multivariate analysis of variance showed that age and marital status had significant multivariate effects on ICT (digital) skills. Further univariate analyses showed that younger students reported significantly lower skills related to multimedia, collaborative platforms, and graphics, whereas married students reported higher skills related to engagement in collaborative platforms. Bivariate correlation analyses showed that multimedia skills, software application skills, virtual reality environment skills, collaborative platform skills, and perceived usefulness of ICT were positively correlated with the actual use of ICT. However, further analysis using multiple linear regression showed that only multimedia skills significantly predicted actual ICT use. The implications of the findings for policy are discussed.
本研究旨在调查学生的数字(ICT)技能、感知相关性(有用性)以及在学习中实际使用数字(ICT)技能的情况。数据通过谷歌表单从加纳两所公立大学的 325 名学生中随机抽样获得。多变量方差分析结果显示,年龄和婚姻状况对信息与传播技术(数字)技能有显著的多变量影响。进一步的单变量分析表明,年龄较小的学生在多媒体、协作平台和图形方面的技能明显较低,而已婚学生在参与协作平台方面的技能较高。双变量相关分析表明,多媒体技能、软件应用技能、虚拟现实环境技能、协作平台技能以及对信息与传播技术有用性的感知与信息与传播技术的实际使用呈正相关。然而,使用多元线性回归法进行的进一步分析表明,只有多媒体技能能显著预测信息与传播技术的实际使用情况。本文讨论了研究结果对政策的影响。

University-based curriculum development often involves adding new content. This ‘just add’ approach has also been applied to integrating the UN SDGs into curricula, reducing them to a checklist rather than embracing their holistic and transformative aims. This is particularly concerning for SDG 4 and SDG 4.7, which require deep, cross-cutting understanding for educational transformation towards a more equitable and sustainable world. In this short reflection paper, colleagues from the University of Catania and RMIT University reflect on integrating SDGs into university curricula, emphasizing collaboration to transform education. They explore the context within universities, the commitment, and challenges in preparing students to understand the complex world through the SDGs’ vision. The authors discuss SDGs and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as frameworks guiding successful SDG integration. Using climate change education as an example, they highlight the need for coordinated actions across multiple scales, aligning with transformative learning principles. The authors argue that SDGs offer an opportunity for transformative processes requiring effective collaboration among colleagues and students. They call for university leadership to support ongoing staff capacity building, resource collaborative, and cross-disciplinary teaching and learning projects and promote self-reflexivity on universities’ roles in addressing global challenges.
以大学为基础的课程开发往往涉及增加新内容。这种 "简单添加 "的方法也被用于将联合国可持续发展目标纳入课程,将其简化为一份清单,而不是接受其全面和变革性的目标。这一点对于可持续发展目标 4 和 4.7 尤为重要,因为这两个目标需要深入、跨领域的理解,以实现教育变革,建设一个更加公平和可持续发展的世界。在这篇简短的反思论文中,卡塔尼亚大学和皇家墨尔本理工大学的同事们对将可持续发展目标纳入大学课程进行了反思,强调通过合作实现教育转型。他们探讨了大学内部的背景、承诺以及在培养学生通过可持续发展目标的愿景了解复杂世界方面所面临的挑战。作者讨论了可持续发展目标和可持续发展教育(ESD)作为指导成功整合可持续发展目标的框架。他们以气候变化教育为例,强调需要在多个范围内采取协调行动,并与变革性学习原则保持一致。作者认为,可持续发展目标为转型过程提供了机会,需要同事和学生之间的有效合作。他们呼吁大学领导层支持员工的持续能力建设、资源合作和跨学科教学项目,并促进大学在应对全球挑战中的自我反思。

Higher education institutions (HEIs) have a pivotal role in preparing students to contribute to sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study focused on the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) and examined how SDGs were integrated into the field of textile science, apparel design, and technology (TSADT). The research investigated the alignment between the SDGs and the emerging concept of Education 5.0, as well as ongoing educational reforms at the UZ. It explored the strategies and initiatives implemented by the university to promote sustainable development practices within the TSADT programs. The data collection process involved conducting interviews, making observations, and reviewing relevant documents. Thematic data analysis was employed. The study provided insights into the alignment between the program’s objectives and SDGs, identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement. This informed strategies for enhancing the integration of sustainable development principles in the TSADT curriculum. The implications of this research are significant for the UZ and other HEIs in Zimbabwe seeking to embed sustainable development principles in their programs. Furthermore, the study contributes to understanding how HEIs can effectively incorporate the SDGs into disciplinary programs, fostering a generation of graduates equipped to address sustainable challenges in the textile and apparel industry.
高等教育机构(HEIs)在培养学生为可持续发展和可持续发展目标(SDGs)做出贡献方面起着举足轻重的作用。本研究以津巴布韦大学(UZ)为重点,探讨了如何将可持续发展目标纳入纺织科学、服装设计与技术(TSADT)领域。研究调查了可持续发展目标与新兴的教育 5.0 概念以及津巴布韦大学正在进行的教育改革之间的一致性。研究还探讨了该大学为在 TSADT 项目中促进可持续发展实践而实施的战略和举措。数据收集过程包括访谈、观察和查阅相关文件。研究采用了专题数据分析。这项研究深入探讨了该计划的目标与可持续发展目标之间的一致性,找出了差距和改进机会。这为加强将可持续发展原则纳入 TSADT 课程的战略提供了依据。这项研究对津巴布韦大学和津巴布韦其他寻求将可持续发展原则纳入其课程的高等院校具有重要意义。此外,这项研究还有助于了解高等院校如何才能有效地将可持续发展目标纳入学科课程,培养出能够应对纺织服装行业可持续发展挑战的毕业生。

This article applies system theory to the analysis of the relationship between the EU and candidate country Serbia, with a focus on adult education policy. The study explores how the peripheral status of Serbia with its hybrid political regime combining autocratic and democratic features leads to the hybridisation of its adult education system, and how the EU’s policies, institutions, and funding mechanisms shape this relationship. The study draws on system theory and the results of our recent study of EU support for adult education in Serbia and applies qualitative content analysis to EU and Serbian adult education policy documents, to examine the consequences of interactions between system components on Serbian adult education policy. It posits that EU’s norm-setting on one side and the allocation of funding and control mechanisms on the other facilitate the neo-colonial position of Serbia as the periphery and perpetuate a power dynamic that allows hybrid regimes to flourish and prioritise their own interests over those of their citizens or civil society. The study further opens up the possibility that these dynamics may produce ‘glitches’ in the system and corruption of the system as a whole, and invites further research and theorisation that would illuminate similar patterns and relationships across other European (national) subsystems.
本文运用系统理论分析欧盟与候选国塞尔维亚之间的关系,重点关注成人教育政策。研究探讨了塞尔维亚的边缘地位及其兼具专制和民主特征的混合政治体制如何导致其成人教育体系的混合化,以及欧盟的政策、机构和资助机制如何塑造这种关系。本研究借鉴了系统理论和我们最近关于欧盟对塞尔维亚成人教育支持的研究成果,并对欧盟和塞尔维亚的成人教育政策文件进行了定性内容分析,以研究系统各组成部分之间的相互作用对塞尔维亚成人教育政策的影响。研究认为,欧盟一方面制定规范,另一方面分配资金和控制机制,促进了塞尔维亚作为边缘国家的新殖民主义地位,并延续了一种权力动态,使混合政权得以蓬勃发展,并将自身利益置于公民或民间社会利益之上。本研究进一步提出了这些动态可能会在系统中产生 "故障 "以及整个系统腐败的可能性,并提出了进一步的研究和理论,以阐明其他欧洲(国家)子系统中的类似模式和关系。

The study further opens up the possibility that these dynamics may produce ‘glitches’ in the system and corruption of the system as a whole, and invites further research and theorisation that would illuminate similar patterns and relationships across other European (national) subsystems.","PeriodicalId":53962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult and Continuing Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141343794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a time when the construction industry shares the challenge of labour shortage, more attention should be paid to how attractive careers in the construction field are in the first place. The constantly evolving working environment is causing significant changes in careers and career management in the field, leading to the need to explore company practices that can contribute to the development of fulfilling careers. In this research, we investigated how supervisors in construction companies perceive career support for their employees. This was a phenomenographic study in which 23 supervisors of five construction companies in Finland were interviewed. The analysis showed that the supervisors’ perceptions could be categorized into six support types varying between company, professionally, and individually oriented perspectives. Based on the analysis, needs for continuous learning in the construction field can be identified more broadly, highlighting also the various opportunities to advance careers in the field.
当建筑行业共同面临劳动力短缺的挑战时,首先应更加关注建筑领域的职业吸引力有多大。不断变化的工作环境正在使该领域的职业和职业管理发生重大变化,因此有必要探索有助于发展充实的职业生涯的公司做法。在这项研究中,我们调查了建筑公司的主管如何看待对员工的职业支持。这是一项现象学研究,我们对芬兰五家建筑公司的 23 名主管进行了访谈。分析表明,主管们的看法可分为六种支持类型,分别从公司、专业和个人角度出发。根据分析结果,可以更广泛地确定建筑领域对持续学习的需求,并强调了在该领域促进职业发展的各种机会。
