Workshop: Teaching and Learning

Adult and continuing education has developed in a number of institutional, non-formal programmes, and teaching has increasingly become a professional occupation. At the same time the importance of informal learning in work life, community and families has again been recognized, and the development of new information and communication technologies has radically changed the social and spatial conditions of adult learning. The workshop will deal with the changing role of formal and non-formal education, the new types and conditions of teaching, and the development of new and different forms of pedagogical support for adult learning.

Professor Henning Salling Olesen, Roskilde University, DK, will give an introductory presentation to the workshop theme.

Professor Staffan Larsson, Linkoping University, SE, will give a presentation to the theme on the background of a relatively differentiated system of adult and continuing education.
