ADULT EDUCATION SURVEY (AES) Adult education: • comprises the entire body of organised educational processes, whatever the content, level and method • comprises formal, non-formal and informal learning • where adults improve their technical/professional qualifications and further develop their abilities. The Adult Education Survey (AES) is carried out under European Regulation (EC) 1175/2014. The requirements specified concern: Data collection period, standardisation (harmonisation), population age range, variables needed, sampling and precision standards, transmission of data and quality report. - 1 -
ADULT EDUCATION SURVEY (AES) Harmonisation: Every participating country is expected to follow a model questionnaire provided by Eurostat to ensure comparability. Target Population: The Survey targets persons aged 25 -64 and living in households AES covers the following topics: • Learning Outcomes • Information, guidance and counselling • Investing time and money in learning • Bringing learning and learners close together • Basic skills and competences - 2 -
LEARNING ACTIVITIES AES covers all Learning Activities: • Learning activities are defined as ‘any activities of an individual organised with the intention to improve his/her knowledge, skills and competences’. • Learning activities must be intentional and organised. Non-learning activities (NLA) are random learning and are to be excluded. Example: • Sports activities which are not intended to improve one’s skills in a sports discipline. E. g. fitness programmes, gym, game of football with friends should be excluded since their primary scope is leisure not learning. • Include in AES (Non- Formal learning) learning activities such as sports activities which involve a trainer, and focus on rules, techniques and skills, and which are competitive. • On the other hand, if sports is done without a trainer but with the intention to improve skills, then this kind of learning is informal learning. - 3 -
FORMAL, NON-FORMAL AND INFORMAL LEARNING ACTIVITIES - 4 -
FORMAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING Formal education is education that is institutionalised, intentional and planned activities, which are made up of structured hierarchical programmes with the following criteria: • Chronological succession of levels and grades (ladder system), • admission requirements, • formal registration, • Programmes are recognised by the national education authorities • Provide access to higher levels. • Upon completion, formal learning always leads to a qualification or award recognised by National Authorities (MQF, NQF, EQF level) • Duration of Formal activity is a minimum of 6 months Full Time study /30 ECTS/ One Semester/247. 5 contact hours - 6 -
FORMAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING Institutionalised education: occurs when an organisation provides structured educational arrangements, such as student-teacher relationships and/or interactions, that are specially designed for education and learning. Formal education consists of: • initial/compulsory education. i. e. from Pre-primary level to Secondary, and • other courses e. g. Introductory certificates, Foundation courses, Diplomas, Higher Diplomas, Degrees. To be considered as Formal a programme needs to satisfy at least the duration and recognised programme and qualification as mentioned. - 7 -
NON-FORMAL EDUCATION AND ACTIVITIES Non-formal education is similar to Formal education. It is still institutionalised, intentional and planned. It still involves an instructor-student relationship/interaction. It is an addition, alternative or complement to formal education. Does not necessarily apply a continuous pathway structure. Entry requirements may not be needed for admission. May be short in duration (less than 6 months FT study) and/or low-intensity. May be long (longer than 6 months FT) but is not a recognised programme by national authorities therefore it does not lead to a recognised qualification. Non-formal programmes can sometimes lead to a formal qualification or might lead to no qualifications at all. - 8 -
NON-FORMAL EDUCATION AND ACTIVITIES Non-formal education is typically provided in the form of: • Short courses • Workshops • Seminars • Guided on-the-job training (incl. short-term apprenticeship) • Private lessons Examples: receiving paid instruction to learn skiing, no certificate Improve skills in poetry, evening course, 4 hrs/week, no qualification. Distance learning course to improve knowledge on nutrition, 4 sessions/yr, for 2 yrs, gives qualification Attend 1 weekend workshop where everyone can register, programme not recognised Seminar on hairdressing at a professional organisation, 1 hr/1 day, sent by employer. ECDL is Non-Formal learning - 9 -
INFORMAL LEARNING Intentional, but it is less organised, highly less structured and does not involve an instructor-student interaction/organisation. Might provide a qualification. May include learning events /activities that occur in the family, in the workplace, and in the daily life of every person. Informal learning happens on a self-directed, family-directed or socially-directed basis Main categories are in Question F 1. Examples: Unpaid instruction from a friend • Teaching yourself from books • Learning through browsing • Reading to keep up with developments • Teaching oneself sports or getting some help from a friend • Learning by oneself to type • Working on a ‘learning’ project with some friends, which might eventually lead to a qualification. - 10 -
