This diploma thesis deals with the educational activities of museums for adult visitors. The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the realization of educational activities in museums with respect to the specifics of adults as a target group. The intention is to examine the implementation of adult education programs, their preparation, structure and development as educational institutions. Furthermore, the work focuses on the target group of adult visitors. Part of the diploma thesis is research, which carried out through qualitative semi-structured interviews with selected staff and lecturers who provide education in museums. It will be carried out in museums in the Central Bohemian Region, which will be selected because of their location. The purpose of the research is to map out the implementation of adult education in the museum from the point of view of museum workers. The intention is to find out whether museums reflect the content of the adult learner's content and realization of educational programs, what forms of education and learning they use and what barriers and possibilities they find in this context.

Samhällets förväntningar på anställdas ständiga utveckling och behov att stå ut på arbetsmarknaden har ökat betydelsen av individers självstyrda lärande. Syftet med studien är att skapa större förståelse för självstyrt lärande och dess villkor för nyckelpersoner, det vill säga anställda som är ensamma om att utföra sitt arbete inom sin arbetsplats. Studiens resultat har analyserats och diskuterats utifrån en teori om individuella villkor för lärande och organisatoriska villkor för lärande. Den kvalitativa fallstudien har utförts inom ett studieförbund genom analys av dokument, intervjuer med nyckelpersonerna själva och avdelningschefer. Studien bygger främst på nio semistrukturerade intervjuer, fem med nyckelpersoner och fyra med chefer. Resultatet visar att nyckelpersonerna lär sig självstyrt genom tre tillvägagångssätt; att söka information, prioritera och styra sitt arbete samt genom samspel med andra. De viktigaste villkoren för lärande visade sig vara de sociala och digitala villkoren, arbetsuppgifternas lärandepotential, vidareutbildning samt kulturella villkor. Studiens slutsats är att informationssökande, prioritering och styrning av arbetet samt lärande genom samspel med andra är ett självstyrt lärande. De olika villkoren kan delas upp i villkor på en arbetsplats- samt organisatorisk nivå. Villkoren har olika effekt på tillvägagångsätten för självstyrt lärande. Slutligen pekar studien på att organisationens fokus bör skifta från ett lärande genom utbildning till lärande som sker inom det vardagliga arbetet eftersom det är så nyckelpersonerna anser att de lär sig mest. / Society's expectations about how employees should constantly develop and stand out on the labor market has increased the importance of individual’s self-directed learning. The purpose of this study is to contribute to a greater understanding of self-directed learning and its framework for people who have a key role in the organization. The results of the study have been analyzed and discussed based on a model of self-directed learning and conditions for workplace learning more generally. This qualitative case study has been carried out in an adult educational association in which a few employees maintain a key role due to their specific functions in their respective departments. The study is built on nine interviews, five with key employees and four with the managers, in conjunction with documents regarding the adult educational association. The results show that key employees learn primarily by searching information through intranet and internet, by prioritizing and managing their work and by interacting with others. The most important learning conditions shown are both social and digital conditions, learning potential of the tasks, further education and cultural conditions. In conclusion, learning by searching information, by prioritizing and managing work tasks and learning by interaction with others makes for a self-directed learning process. The different frameworks in the study have been divided into the dimensions of the workplace and the organization as a whole. Furthermore, these different frameworks impact the learning methods in different ways. Lastly, the study indicates that the organizational focus should shift from learning by formal education to the more everyday learning, since it was shown to be what the key employees practiced the most.

There is a paucity of adult professional education literature, yet there are multiple theories and models from which to extrapolate information regarding learning in this population, including self-regulated learning theory and adult learning models. The first aim of this study was to explore these bodies of literature and provide a compelling argument for how these theories and models may be considered relative to each other. The second aim of this study was to provide empirical support for the theoretical framework within the professional education population, specifically for Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students. Participants included 232 DPT students from a large, research-intensive university in the mid-Atlantic region. The Self-directed Learning Readiness Survey for Nursing Education (SDLRSNE) (Fisher, King, & Tague, 2001) was administered to five cohorts of students seven times throughout the duration of the DPT program. T-tests and ANOVAs were conducted to determine cohort differences. The data were collapsed across time in order to generate longitudinal growth curve models. Results revealed that the SDLRSNE is an internally consistent tool to utilize with DPT students and that the majority of DPT students were self-regulated learners. Results from the growth curve models indicated that self-regulated learning increased across time, was discontinuous within the DPT program, and that participation in clinical education experiences coincided with the change in slope of the model that best fit the data. Additionally, results indicated that the age of a student (traditional: age 19-24 versus nontraditional: age 25+) significantly predicted Desire For Learning subscale scores. / Educational Psychology

This moment of the educational process was chosen as a methodological resource. The theoretical perspective used in the research understands the EJA student according to the Socio-Historical Psychology principles, whose system of methodological and epistemological references sees man as built through social productions relations. The economy globalization along with the conditions of work progressively more flexible and precarious leverages the diffusion of the neoliberal ideology. To this research, countersigned by the qualitative approach, a group with ten students with that profile was formed in a state public school in São Paulo, and then the research subject was chosen. During the group session, the choice of the subject was based in the following criteria: involvement with the theme, absorption and pertinence, and personal availableness. Once the only subject was established, two half-structured interviews were made to investigate her professional and personal life, with the purpose of uncovering the senses and meanings of labour to the subject.The analysis procedure occurred through the agglutination of pre-indicators, later organized in indicators. Once articulated and systematized these indicators showed three signification nucleus. The organized nucleus were: The labour world and consumption and life project , Personal efforts today and forever , World vision and television mass media . The scenery of maintenance of the neoliberal ideology guides the ways of insertion of men in the world of labour, in such a way that it was possible to identify, in the student speech, the personal effort as key to the success and an emphasis on the individuality encapsulated in the family cell. Besides that, the television mass media constituted the responsible for knowledge transmission, and school education as the space of care and reassertion of family values; aspects which affects her ways to criticise, feel and act in the world. Thus, as a conclusion, it is possible to say that the ideology, and, more specifically as one of its elements, the personal effort notion, constitutes a decisive element, marking the process of insertion of the student in the labour world as something ideological, deprived of a process of appropriation of its constitutive mediations / Este trabalho buscou apreender a presença do ideário neoliberal nos sentidos e significados sobre trabalho em uma estudante do 3o ano Ensino Médio da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA); momento este, do processo educativo, escolhido como recurso metodológico. A perspectiva teórica utilizada ao longo da pesquisa entende o estudante de EJA a partir dos pressupostos da Psicologia Sócio-Histórica, cujo referencial epistemológico e metodológico compreende o homem como ser histórico e constituído nas e pelas relações sociais de produção. A globalização da economia e a flexibilização e precarização do trabalho são os aportes para a difusão do ideário neoliberal. Para esta pesquisa, referendada pela abordagem qualitativa, formou-se um grupo com 10 alunos com esse perfil, em uma escola estadual de São Paulo, para, a partir daí, escolher-se o sujeito de pesquisa. No espaço grupal, a escolha do sujeito baseou-se nos seguintes critérios: envolvimento com o tema, aprofundamento e pertinência, e disponibilidade pessoal. Determinado o único sujeito, foram realizadas duas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, que recuperaram sua história de vida e profissional, objetivando aproximar-se dos sentidos e significados sobre trabalho. O procedimento de análise ocorreu por meio da aglutinação de pré-indicadores nos relatos da estudante, que foram organizados em indicadores, os quais articulados e sistematizados evidenciaram três núcleos de significação. Os núcleos organizados foram: O mundo do trabalho e projeto de vida e de consumo , Esforço Pessoal hoje e sempre e Visão de mundo e a mídia televisiva . O cenário de manutenção do ideário neoliberal orienta as formas de inserção dos homens no mundo do trabalho, de forma que foi possível identificar, nas falas da estudante, o esforço pessoal como chave para o sucesso e a ênfase na individualidade encapsulada na célula familiar. Além disso, a mídia televisiva constituiu-se como a responsável pela transmissão de conhecimentos, e a educação escolar como o lugar do cuidado e reafirmação de valores familiares aspectos que afetam suas formas de criticar, sentir e agir sobre o mundo. Assim, concluiu-se que o ideário e, mais especificamente, como um de seus elementos, a noção de esforço pessoal, constitui-se em um determinante fundamental, marcando o processo de colocação da estudante no mundo do trabalho, como algo ideologizado, desprovido de um processo de apropriação das mediações constitutivas
