Dans la société cognitive, la connaissance devient un levier économique, où l’apprenant guide son projet d’apprentissage tout au long de sa vie. Apprendre à apprendre est une compétence centrale pour l’accès à une insertion socioprofessionnelle pérenne. Mais 140 000 jeunes français quittent chaque année le système scolaire sans diplôme, sans qualification. L’École Régionale de la Deuxième Chance propose une formation en alternance où la remise à niveau soutient l’insertion. Cette recherche (CIFRE) interroge l’activité de remise à niveau. L’étude longitudinale s’appuie sur 50 parcours d’apprenants, hier en difficulté scolaire, aujourd’hui stagiaires de la formation professionnelle. Nous analysons le lien entre représentations sociales de la remise à niveau et implications et interrogeons la dichotomie réalisée entre implication active ou passive. Les prises de position recueillies sont hétérogènes et révèlent les éléments représentationnels générateurs de formes spécifiques d’implication (d’être et d’agir à l’École). L’étude découvre l’autocensure que s’imposent les élèves. Ils s’enferment dans des rôles institutionnels, inspirés par leur passé scolaire : difficile passage de l’apprenant dépendant du professeur à l’apprenant co-construisant ses apprentissages. Ces non-dits interrogent aussi les conditions d’expression de l’implication. Les « réfractaires » à la remise à niveau disent deux choses : leur implication passive affichée dans un projet d’apprentissage subi, et leur implication active cachée dans ce que pourrait être ce projet. Ces différentes explicitations d’implication, chez un même individu, révèlent qu’il n’est pas pertinent de qualifier de passifs ces apprenants. / In the cognitive society, knowledge becomes an economic lift, where the learner manages his learning project throughout his life. Learning to learn is a central competence for the access to a perennial social and professional insertion. But every year 140,000 young French people leave the educational system without any diploma, without any qualification. The Regional School of Second Chance offers a training combining school courses and work experience in enterprises, development of academic knowledge being an active support for insertion. This research (CIFRE) is questioning about the activities of the scholastic knowledge. The longitudinal research is based on 50 learning courses for students who have faced learning difficulties in the past, and are today involved in a vocational training. We analyze the link between social representations of the academic learning and implications, and we question the dichotomy made between active and passive involvement. The students statements collected are heterogeneous and reveal specific forms of involvement (being and acting in school). The research shows that students submit themselves to a self-censorship. They lock themselves into institutional roles, inspired by their own school history : difficult transition from being a student dependent of his teacher, to a student co-constructing his learning process with his teacher. The students’ unsaid is as well raising questions about the conditions of the expression of their involvement. The “recalcitrant” students to the scholastic learning activities are expressing two things : their passive implication results from a project of training which they do not stick to, and their active implication is hidden in what could be their project. The various explanations of implication, for a same individual, reveal that it is not appropriate to call them passive learners.

The thesis deals with an actual topic which must be solved in connection with promotion of lifelong learning principle in educational policy and with the need of systematic support for head teachers such as education and development throughout their career. At this time the role of school leader is changing as a consequence of changing environment dependency. Therefore it seems to be necessary that school managements identify themselves with the ideas of lifelong learning. Research of this study is oriented in the same sense. Its main goal is to chart the actual state of attention which is paid by kindergarten leaders of the Plzeň Region to their professional development. The final study is elaborated in the context of human capital values increase as a tool for adaptation to changes brought by the contemporary world. The thesis flows from the studied theory, information got by a survey and the author's own experience, too. It brings an outline, how kindergarten directors in the Plzeň Region do perceive the actual development and educational support in the relation to managing all phases of their career, and it indicates that weaknesses remain in the professional head teachers' development and the development of school leaders itself is not conceived as a system.

Dans l’œuvre très vaste d’Henri Desroche (Roanne 1914-Paris 1994), cette recherche vise à discerner la contribution de l’auteur à l’éducation des adultes. En particulier, après avoir relevé les mots-clés de communauté et de compagnonnage dans son œuvre, on analyse les contextes qui ont permis la création du Collège Coopératif de Paris (en 1958), du DHEPS (Diplôme des Hautes Études des Pratiques Sociales) et de l’Université Coopérative Internationale (UCI), ainsi que les modalités de leur essor. On essayera ensuite, en guise de conclusion, d’esquisser les conditions de transposabilité de ces institutions et de ces procédures de formation permanente en Italie. Il s’agit d’une recherche historique concernant les institutions éducatives. La méthodologie suivie consiste en l’analyse a priori des ouvrages éducationnels d’Henri Desroche, en l’analyse d’autres ouvrages sur l’auteur, permettant de reconstruire le climat culturel de l’époque, et en la réalisation d’entretiens avec les compagnons d’Henri Desroche et avec les continuateurs de son œuvre. Théoricien et praticien, Henri Desroche s’est occupé des études marxologiques, de sociologie des religions et d’économie sociale, avec une attention particulière aux formes de coopération dans les domaines religieux, économique et éducatif / This research aims at identifying the contribution of Henri Desroche (Roanne 1914-Paris 1994) to adult education, within his extensive scientific work. In particular, after focusing on keywords such as community and companionship in his work, the contexts which led to the creation (1958) and the development of Collège Coopératif of Paris, of DHEPS (Diplôme des Hautes Etudes des Pratiques Sociales) and of the Université Cooperative Internationale (UCI) have been analyzed. In conclusion, the possibilities of transferability in Italy of Desrochian intuitions have been outlined. This study is a part of the history of educational institutions. The adopted methodology consisted in the analysis of the most “educational” works of Henri Desroche (as well as his early work, which proved to be very illuminating) and of the author’s literature. It also includes interviews with Desroche’s colleagues and the researchers that continued his work. Theoretical and practitioner at the same time, Henri Desroche studied Marxism, the sociology of religions and social economy, with a particular attention to the various forms of cooperation in the religious, economical and educational fields

The diploma thesis deals with education of employees in public service and it focuses on the differences between state administration and local government. Representative of the state administration is Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and representative of local government is Office of Town District Prague 13. Educated employees present a valuable capital and the basic assumption for efficient administration of services and organizational stability too. The goal of diploma thesis is to classify the structure and utilization of employee's education methods in state administration and local government, to determinate the differences and to fix recommendations. The theoretical part focuses on the importance of education, education as a HR activity, the forms and methods of employee's education and it presents legislation, which governs the area of employee's education in public service. The practical part presents the present state of employee's education in public service and used education methods and employee's satisfaction. This is based on obtained results of expert interviews and questionnaire survey.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird analysiert, wie sich Pfade biografisch zunehmender Exklusion vom lebenslangen Lernen bei erwachsenen Lernern herausbilden, deren Erwerbsverläufe durch Instabilitäten und Diskontinuitäten gekennzeichnet sind. Die Analyse der drei in der einschlägigen Literatur diskutierten zentralen Vermittlungsinstanzen der Exklusion lässt neben dem allgemeinbildenden Schulabschluss als pfadinitiierendem Ereignis auch die zunehmende Bedeutung des Arbeitsmarkts im Hinblick auf die Strukturierung und Stabilisierung von Exklusionsrisiken sichtbar werden. Die frühzeitige Pfadinitiierung sowie die Identifikation asymmetrischer Machtverhältnisse als kontinuitätssichernde Mechanismen – verbunden mit der sichtbaren Tendenz zur Selbstexklusion – können als Desiderat einer verstärkten Berücksichtigung der jeweils vorliegenden Subjekt-Kontext-Relation der (potenziellen) Weiterbildungsteilnehmer verstanden werden. Wenn Konzepte lebenslangen Lernens breite inkludierende Wirkung entfalten sollen, erscheint öffentlich geförderte berufliche Weiterbildung notwendig, die sich verstärkt an der Formung der Person orientiert und nachhaltige, individuell als nützlich erfahrene Bildungsprozesse ermöglicht. / In the following work, we examine how exclusion affects the lifelong learning paths of adult learners, whose employment histories are often characterized by instability and discontinuity. The analysis of the three central facets often discussed in the literature of “exclusion,” allows for the ever increasing importance of the labour market in terms of structuring, and in the stabilization of “exclusion risks” along with general education as an initial “path” event. The results suggest the following conclusion: access to continuing education is often shaped by opportunity, and also individual demand. The attitude towards, or whether an individual engages in lifelong learning appears to be shaped early within a person. These early events of path dependency, as well as the identification of asymmetrical power relations as continuity assurance mechanisms, connected with the visible tendency to the exclusion of the self can be understood as a desideratum of reinforcement, which take into account the respective subject context relationship of (potential) participants in the educational program. If the concept of “lifelong learning for all” is to become a reality, or is to be of any effect, several aspects appear to be necessary; namely, a broad, public sponsored vocational training, that focuses on the formation of the individual, coupled with sustainable, requisite skills, and knowledge base.

Die Dissertation analysiert die Auswirkungen der internationalen Diskussion zum lebenslangen Lernen als bildungspolitischem Reformkonzept auf die institutionelle Ausgestaltung des deutschen Hochschulwesens. Sie besteht aus einem einleitenden Kapitel und 14 Teilstudien, die zusammen eine multiperspektivische Fallstudie bilden. Über bereits vorliegende Bestandsaufnahmen geht die vorliegende Untersuchung durch ihre Multi¬perspektivität sowie die historische, theoretische und international ver¬gleichende Einordnung der Befunde hinaus. Die theoretische Basis bilden Konzepte zur Entstehung und zum Wandel von Institutionen. Hierbei kommt der Perspektive des Historischen Institutionalismus eine besondere Bedeutung zu. In den Teilstudien werden vier Dimensionen von Durchlässigkeit behandelt, die sich aus den im internationalen Rahmen diskutierten Reformkonzepten ergeben: (1.) die soziale Durchlässigkeit im Sinne der Beteiligung von unterrepräsentierten Personengruppen an hochschulischer Bildung, (2.) die institutionelle Durchlässigkeit zwischen den Systemen der beruflichen und der akademischen Bildung, (3.) die Realisierung eines Arbeitswelt- bzw. Praxisbezugs durch flankierende curriculare und/oder didaktische Initiativen sowie (4.) eine flexible Studienorganisation, die aus – ebenfalls flankierenden – organisatorischen Maßnahmen resultiert. Insgesamt konnte gezeigt werden, dass die seit den 1960er Jahren andauernde inter-nationale Diskussion um lebenslanges Lernen in Deutschland auf eine geringe Resonanz gestoßen ist. Dies gilt insbesondere für den Hochschulbereich. Seit einigen Jahren ist in Politik und Hochschulen jedoch ein Umdenken festzustellen, das seinen Ausdruck unter anderem in Veränderungen bei den Zugangsmöglichkeiten zum Hochschul¬studium gefunden hat. Die (potenziellen) Auswirkungen der aktuellen Entwicklungen auf die künftige institutionelle Ausgestaltung des deutschen Hochschulwesens sind allerdings kaum abzuschätzen. / This dissertation deals with the international discussion on lifelong learning as a political concept to reform the education system and analyses its impact on the institutional structure of the German higher education system. This doctoral thesis by publication is composed of an introductory chapter and 14 substudies providing an in-depth examination of various aspects applying various methods. The diverse parts form a multiperspectival case study. The present study exceeds existing research not only by its multitude of perspectives, but also by explaining the results from a historical, theoretical and internationally comparative point of view. Concepts concerning the emergence and change of institutions make up the theoretical basis of the thesis at hand. Special emphasis is put on the theoretical approach of historical institutionalism. The substudies focus on four dimensions of permeability emerging from international discussions about lifelong learning: (1.) social mobility of underrepresented groups with regard to the higher education system, (2.) institutional permeability between the systems of vocational education and higher education, (3.) implementation of requirements of the world of work and society in curricular and didactical concepts, and (4.) a flexible organisation of study programs resulting from organisational and operative measures. The present study concludes that the ideas of lifelong learning, which have been under discussion on an international level since the late 1960s, have only met with little response in Germany. This holds particularly true for the higher education system. However, a change of thinking in politics and higher education institutions has been noticeable in recent years. This has led to changes, among others, in the way of admission to study programs. (Potential) impacts of recent developments on the future institutional structure of the German higher education system can hardly be predicted at the present time.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Amelia Maria Jarmendia1.pdf: 1085109 bytes, checksum: 1eee1daad7657258e25ce50649dec2f3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-02-14 / Apart from some exceptions teachers lifelong learning is generally offered in courses that aim the transmission of contents and techniques previously defined from a general view of teachers needs The conventional model is considered not sufficiently efficacious when it is intended to implant and implement curricular innovations that implicate new comprehension of the teaching and learning object as well as changes in the teaching practice due to the fact that what it matters is to have access to what teachers do and think Thus in this thesis I investigate how to organize a lifelong learning process which breaking the conventional model can contribute to the knowledge in the specific area as well as to the personal and professional development of the teacher Developing the research from the idea that it is possible to carry out in a flexible way the act as educating as a process in which the do s and think s of the teachers as well as their needs are considered the starting point of discussions reflections and studies I organized with the collaboration of a group of teachers a space of formation denominated Study Group (SG) which is also a methodological resource of this research The research allowed the definition of methodological procedures that were shown adequate to the creation of an alternative context of learning in which the teachers became the subject of their own formation assuming at the same time the role of the one who is being educated as well as the educator Summarizing the research revealed that it is possible to organize and carry out a process of lifelong learning that differently from the conventional models presents among other things the following features: it creates a context in which the teachers learn with their peers; it recognizes and gives value to the teachers knowledge; it retrieves the practice as a space of education and reflection; it organizes itself around the teachers needs and it allows the exercise of the shared autonomy I considered therefore to have achieved the proposed aims of this research and I hope to have given my contribution to the studies in the area of teachers lifelong learning / Salvo raras exceções a formação continuada de professores dá-se na forma de cursos que visam à transmissão de conteúdos e técnicas definidos previamente a partir de uma visão geral das necessidades dos docentes Considerando que o modelo convencional não se revela suficientemente eficaz quando se pretende implantar e implementar inovações curriculares que implicam novas compreensões do objeto de ensino e aprendizagem e mudanças na prática docente pois neste caso importa ter acesso ao que fazem e pensam os professores, neste trabalho, investigo como organizar um processo de formação continuada de professores que rompendo com o modelo convencional possa contribuir tanto para o avanço do conhecimento na área quanto para o desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional do professor Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa partindo da idéia de que é possível que a ação formativa ocorra por meio de um processo conduzido de forma flexível em que o fazer e o pensar dos professores bem como suas necessidades sejam tomados como ponto de partida para discussões reflexões e estudos organizei com a colaboração de um grupo de professoras um espaço de formação a que denominamos Grupo de Estudo GE que é também recurso metodológico desta pesquisa A pesquisa possibilitou a definição de procedimentos metodológicos que se mostraram adequados à criação de um contexto alternativo de aprendizagem em que os docentes se tornaram sujeitos de sua própria formação assumindo ao mesmo tempo o papel de formando e formador Em síntese a pesquisa revelou que é possível organizar e conduzir um processo de formação continuada que diferentemente dos modelos convencionais apresenta entre outras as seguintes características: cria um contexto em que os professores aprendem com seus pares; reconhece e valoriza os saberes docentes; recupera a prática como espaço de formação e reflexão; organiza-se em torno das necessidades dos professores e possibilita o exercício da autonomia compartilhada Considero portanto ter alcançado o que se pretendia com o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa e espero assim ter dado minha contribuição para os estudos na área de formação do professor

O conhecimento de uma pessoa pode se tornar obsoleto ou incompleto rapidamente, visto que, na chamada sociedade da informação e do conhecimento, a todo instante surgem novas teorias e tecnologias que são rapidamente publicadas e disseminadas pelos novos meios de comunicação e informação, notadamente a Internet. Visando contribuir para a atenuação desse problema, o presente trabalho propõe o desenvolvimento de um ambiente baseado na Web que dê apoio à aprendizagem continuada de um indivíduo dentro de algum campo de interesse, facilitando, assim, a atualização de seus conhecimentos. Do ponto de vista tecnológico, o trabalho se apóia na recuperação de informações em contexto e na tecnologia de agentes de software; do ponto de vista pedagógico, inspira-se na pedagogia de projetos de aprendizagem. / The knowledge of a person can become rapidly obsolete or incomplete, since the called society of information and knowledge, all the time there are new theories and technologies that are quickly published and disseminated by new media and information, notably the Internet. Aiming to reduce this problem, this work proposes the development of a Web-based environment which provides support for lifelong learning of an individual within a certain field of interest, thus facilitating the upgrade of their knowledge. From a technological standpoint, the work relies on Information Retrieval in Context and the Technology of Software Agents, the pedagogical point of view, inspired by the Pedagogy of Learning Projects.
