Document analysis, interviews and Delphi Technique are adopted in this research. The major findings and discussion of this study are as follows: 1. The idea of accreditation of learning achievements— the urgent need to construct and promote accreditation of learning achievements to implement lifelong learning and to emphasize that accordance with knowledge constant innovative change through lifelong learning, and learning achievements of different channels should offer the evidence of approving through the proper assessment. 2. The purpose of accreditation of learning achievements from social and individual aspects— building up the equivalent transferring mechanism between formal, non-formal learning and to combine different educational resources to the greatest benefit. 3. The approach of accreditation of learning achievements—the adoption of the integrated approach which combines the features of organization, course and personal accreditation and the adoption of the model similar to S. Korean credit bank model, Australian national qualification accreditation. 4. The category of accreditation of learning achievements— the inclusion of curriculum, certificates and experience and consideration for cognitive, affection and technical ability. 5. The principles of accreditation of learning achievements—consideration for quality, autonomy, pluralism and innovative. 6. The principles of accreditation of personal learning achievements—the development of the system of non-formal learning and its own evaluation. 7.

Since the 1950’s medial resources have accelerated at an apparent pace. The access to several TV channels, to the Internet and to cell phones has increased and is available almost every student. In the society of today young people are exposed to media technology everywhere. It is apparent that children as well as adolescents and adults are affected by television, music, the Internet in one way or the other. The aim of this essay was to investigate if students think that TV, music and the Internet affect their English language learning outside the classroom. Furthermore, the purpose was also to see in what ways their teachers use these kinds of media recourses.

Pastaraisiais metais Lietuva patyrė daugybę pokyčių – visuomenėje, pramonės šakose, politikoje, neaplenkė jie ir švietimo. Įdiegus naujus darbo metodus bei technologijas, iškilo būtinybė plėtoti visą gyvenimą trunkančio mokymosi idėjas, nes ekonominė bei socialinė kaita tokia didelė, kad norint išlikti paklausiam darbo rinkoje, teks ne kartą keisti specialybę ar nuolat kelti kvalifikaciją. Dabartinė profesinio rengimo sistema jau nebesugeba pilnai patenkinti darbo rinkos poreikių. Daugelyje Europos šalių jau yra įdiegtos, kitur dar ruošiamasi diegti (tame tarpe ir Lietuvoje) neformaliojo mokymosi pripažinimo sistemas. Tyrimo tikslas - atskleisti mokymosi rezultatų vertinimo ypatumus neformaliajame profesiniame suaugusiųjų mokyme. Siekiant realizuoti darbe užsibrėžtus tikslą bei uždavinius, buvo taikyti šie tyrimo metodai: 1. Teoriniai: mokslinės literatūros, publikacijų bei norminių dokumentų, reglamentuojančių neformalų profesinį rengimą, analizė; 2 .Diagnostiniai: parengti du klausimynai ir atlikta neformalaus profesinio mokymo centro besimokančių suaugusiųjų bei mokymo vadovų anketinė apklausa, kurios metu tirti neformaliajame profesiniame mokyme taikomi vertinimo metodai bei nuomonės apie jų taikymo tikslingumą; 3.

The educational landscape is changing and a variety of technologies and techniques are blurring the lines between traditional and non-traditional learning. This change is substantial in low-income countries: individuals in developing countries have a great desire to educate themselves and improve their quality of life. Kenyans are adequately literate and accustomed to mobile technology despite being a largely impoverished, poorly educated populace. Kenya represents an optimal setting in which to research the use and feasibility of modern mobile and educational technologies. The broad aim of this dissertation is to explore how mobile devices can catalyze and enhance both informal and non-formal learning. In particular, this dissertation explores how technologies and concepts such as mobile web apps, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), and learning incentives via a smartphone specifically affect informal and non-formal learning in Kenya. The primary research question is how can learning efforts that utilize mobile learning, MOOCs, and learning incentives combine non-formal and informal learning to develop and contribute to a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to learning in Kenya? The primary method is action research. The first contribution of this dissertation is the finding that mobile web apps are currently better suited for data exchange than producing new content. The second contribution is the finding that a smartphone can enhance informal learning in a developing country with little or no scaffolding. The third contribution is the finding that non-formal learning efforts as a MOOC are shown to be a viable means of delivering non-formal learning in a developing country via a smartphone. The fourth contribution is the finding that the use of incentives such as digital badges provide a means by which to validate non-formal learning and contribute to a DIY attitude towards learning creation, where individuals can freely complement or replace a traditional curriculum.

This study seeks to integrate informal and formal music learning in a university guitar class with a secondary focus on evaluating the effectiveness of this approach in meeting student's stated goals for learning the guitar. Salient features in formal music learning were discovered from an examination of guitar method books. Informal features were examined from a reading of extant research on popular music pedagogy and expounded upon through research devoted to specific areas of informal music learning and popular music pedagogy. These features were used in the creation of a guitar curriculum to aid in the integration of both formal and informal music learning in a university guitar class. Data were gathered through pre- and post-study questionnaires, interviews, and video analysis. Analysis of data shows that integrating formal and informal music learning in a beginner's guitar class is effective in meeting student stated goals for the course. Note reading was an area that was not effective in meeting student goals for the course. Data revealed that note reading should be taught slowly, in key based relationships and with fewer notes taught over the 16 week course. Integrating informal music learning procedures in a formal environment proved to be challenging for the students. A difficulty existed in the student's ability to task switch between formal and informal learning in the University setting. Implications from the study are listening should be considered a primary means for learning music and haphazard learning is beneficial, though difficult to include in a systematized curriculum.

There have been suggestions in recent times that the traditional criteria for defining professions is outmoded and inappropriate particularly in relation to the new professions, such as Human Resource Management (HRM). Evans (2008b) has suggested that a more appropriate evaluation is in terms of a commitment to professional development and has identified that this commitment be referred to as ‘developmentalism’. There are a number of ways in which professional development can occur and while traditionally this involved almost exclusively, formal experiences, such as courses, current thinking is now moving towards utilising more accessible, practice based, non-formal mechanisms. The research presented in this thesis investigates how non-formal learning is used to contribute to a climate of developmentalism by Human Resource (HR) practitioners. For this purpose, 17 in-depth semi-structured-interviews with a purposively selected sample of HR practitioners were conducted. The transcripts were analysed based on the four step process of phenomenographic analysis suggested by Marton (1994) cited by Schroder et al (2005) and Soon and Barnard (2002), to discover the qualitatively different ways in which HR practitioners describe, experience, understand and analyse their professional development and the use of non-formal learning in that development. What emerged from the analysis were two sets of categories of description; one for each of the phenomena namely professional development and non-formal learning. In addition, an outcome space for each of the phenomena emerged, illustrating the hierarchical relationship within each set of categories of description as well as the dimensions of variation relating to the phenomena. Also emerging from the analysis was a conceptualised model for professional development comprising non-formal learning using a heutagogical approach in conjunction with the empirically developed HR professionality continuum as a record of achievement. This model is offered as a means of encouraging HR practitioners to participate in professional development. Several recommendations arose from this research, and it is anticipated that these recommendations will be of interest to HR practitioners, their employers, HR educators, and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

Mot bakgrund av att det ur både ett samhälls- och individperspektiv är viktigt att anställda utvecklas i samma takt som arbetsmarknaden syftar denna studie till att få en ökad förståelse för hur olika verksamheter arbetar med arbetsplatslärande och med att motivera personalen till ett arbetsplatslärande. Den kvalitativa studien som genomförs behandlar kommunala och privata verksamheters arbete med att motivera sin personal till formellt och informellt arbetsplatslärande. För att studera detta har material från sju semistrukturerade intervjuer hämtats. Dessa intervjuer genomfördes med personalvetare som arbetar inom olika områden i både kommunala och privata verksamheter. Det insamlade materialet från intervjuerna analyserades med en tematisk analys där teman och underteman skapades. Studien tar stöd i Knud Illeris teoretiska perspektiv på vad som krävs för att ett arbetsplatslärande ska kunna ske. Det analyseras om verksamheterna upplever att ett arbetsplatslärande äger rum enligt de krav som Illeris teoretiska perspektiv ställer upp. Med stöd i intervjumaterial och det teoretiska perspektivet har en ökad förståelse för hur kommunala och privata verksamheter arbetar med arbetsplatslärande nåtts. Resultatet i denna studie visar att båda verksamheterna lägger störst fokus och prioritering på det informella lärandet och att det formella lärandet ofta hamnar i skymundan. Verksamheterna arbetar inte strategiskt med att motivera anställda utan motivation har visat sig vara en mer individuell faktor som varje individ har en stor påverkan på. Förutsättningar av ett stöttande ledarskap, meningsfullhet i arbetet och en verksamhetskultur respektive gemenskap av lärande har dock visat sig bidra till en ökad motivation. / Given that it from both a societal and individual perspective is important that the employees develop at the same pace as the labor market, this study aims at gaining an increased understanding of how different organizations work with workplace learning and to motivate staff to a workplace learning. The qualitative study that is carried out deals with the work of municipal and private organizations in motivating their staff to formal and informal workplace learning. To examine the purpose of this study data was collected through seven semi-structured interviews with people working with human resources. The data collected from the interviews was analyzed using thematic analysis where themes and sub-themes were created. This study is based on Knud Illeri´s theoretical perspective about what is necessary for a workplace learning to take place. It is analyzed whether the people working with human resources experience that the requirements for achieving workplace learning according to Illeri´s theoretical perspective exist at their workplace. With both data from the interviews and Illeri´s theoretical perspective this study gains an increased understanding of how municipal and private organizations work with motivation and workplace learning. The result of this study shows that both types of organization prioritize informal learning and less formal learning. Neither of the organizations strategically works with motivation towards workplace learning. The results have shown that motivation is mostly based on individual factors which means that the individual has the greatest influence. Prerequisites of a supportive leadership, meaningfulness in work and a business culture and community of learning, however, have shown to contribute to increased motivation.
