20.500.12556/RUL-151569 The OECD solutionism and mythologies in adult education policy skills strategies in Portugal and Slovenia The role of international governmental organisations (IGOs) in global policymaking has received significant attention in the field of adult learning and education (ALE) in the twenty-first century, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) was recognised as one of the most influential IGO due to its skill surveys – such as the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). However, while the majority of empirical studies in the field have focused on the analysis of PIAAC data, little attention has been given to the influence of the OECD skills strategies on the development and/or improvement of national ALE systems. This study addresses this gap in two OECD member states – Portugal and Slovenia – by applying the ‘what’s the problem represented to be?’ approach to policy analysis and using the theoretical concept of myth in defining policy problems. Our findings indicate that although both countries’ ALE systems differ, they share problem representations that reinforce several policy myths: ALE is a solution to tackle socioeconomic problems; unemployment is a problem of low-skilled adults; the learner-centred approach is a way to raise participation in ALE, and improved governance is a means to advance national ALE systems. andragogy adult education adult learning adult learning and education policy adult learning and education systems policy myths skills strategies OECD Slovenia Portugal izobraževanje odraslih izobraževalna politika andragogika komparativna andragogika politični miti OECD cilji izobraževanja odraslih true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-10-09 14:05:43 2023-10-09 14:05:46 2023-10-26 03:45:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 324-343 no. 3 Vol. 45 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 374.7 1470-126X 10.1080/0158037X.2022.2092090 167386115 The_OECD_solutionism_and_mythologies_in_adult_education_policy__skills_strategies_in_Portugal_and_Slovenia.pdf The_OECD_solutionism_and_mythologies_in_adult_education_policy__skills_strategies_in_Portugal_and_Slovenia.pdf 1 9F68416C8E137565F4E81987B6DEC091 1ad9fb65556816e17a30e49fa6e5861cad0c6abea0bd3e607cf829776b89e024 730d2917-7306-11ee-91a5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177000 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0158037X.2022.2092090 0 5f82c6fa-7306-11ee-91a5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176999 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
