Internationales Weiterbildungsmonitoring. Instrumente, Wirkungen und Nebenwirkungen

The article provides an insight into supranational and international continuing education monitoring. The author identifies three particularly relevant tools for adult learning: the Adult Education Survey conducted by the EU, the OECD Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) and the European Lifelong Learning Index. The findings of the author’s dissertation substantiate the effects of monitoring and educational reporting in available data, evaluation practice and supervision. The resulting problems, which are based on a lack of contextualization or the preference of a quantitative research paradigm, may not be neglected.
