Dear All,

Here is a link to a webinar:  Investigating participation in adult learning and education: but how is it measured? being organised by my colleague Professor Ellen Boeren on !3 March at 1200 GMT. It should be of interest to many of you interested in national policies. Please other RN co-ordinators pass this onto your networks

 

This webinar will present the audience to the ALE policies project, funded by the ESRC. The overall aim of the project is to investigate the knowledge base on adult education in the UK and Ireland, how participation has fluctuated over the past 25 years and how policy-makers use adult education data to feed into their policy processes. The webinar to take place on 13 March 2024 will introduce the audience to our review of survey programmes that include data on adult education issues. We will discuss differences in measurement and conceptualisation of adult education, drawing on insights from codebooks and questionnaires from the Learning & Work Institute’s Adult Participation in Learning survey, the OECD’s Programme for in International Assessment of Adult Competencies, the Eurostat Adult Education Survey and the Labour Force Survey. Throughout the presentation, we will investigate to what extent differences in methodologies and conceptual underpinnings lead to similar or different insights in the determinants of participation. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session with the project’s team members from the University of Glasgow, the University of Nottingham and the Learning & Work Institute.
