Zweierlei Herausforderung. Die Wissenschaft von der Weiterbildung angesichts der Qualitätsdebatte

Striving for quality is at the core of pedagogical professionalism. Therefore the science of further education has to intervene in the quality discussion in two ways: Firstly, it must develop criteria by which systems of quality assurance can be compared and by which their appropriateness for the sector of further education can be evaluated. Secondly, it must inquire yet more persistently into the specifics of pedagogical quality and find out what further education science can contribute towards qualitative excellence in the design of learning environments.
