Razumevanje raznolikosti v izobraževanju odraslih : ključ do opolnomočenja različnih skupin

Mirčeva, Jasmina (author), Rupnik Vec, Tanja (author), Brečko, Barbara Neža (author)

Dosedanje raziskave so pokazale, da udeležba v izobraževanju ni razporejena enakomerno glede na sociodemografske in druge karakteristike odrasle populacije, zato smo na podlagi najnovejših podatkov raziskave o učenju in izobraževanju odraslih (UIO) proučili, katere skupine imajo največjo ali najmanjšo udeležbo v organiziranih izobraževalnih dogodkih. Leta 2022 je bila tako v Sloveniji udeležba po podatkih raziskave Izobraževanje in učenje odraslih v formalnem in neformalnem izobraževanju manjša kot leta 2016, obenem pa je država na področju aktivnosti odraslih v priložnostnem učenju presegla povprečje Evropske unije. Z metodo razvrščanja v skupine (Two-step cluster analysis) smo identificirali tri skupine odraslih, ki se razlikujejo po zaposlitvenem statusu, starosti, izobrazbi in dohodkih. Ugotovili smo, da so bili motivi za izobraževanje v vseh skupinah podobni, medtem ko so se razlogi za neudeležbo v organiziranih izobraževalnih dejavnostih razlikovali. V skupini brezposelnih je bil najpogosteje navajan razlog finančna nezmožnost, kar kaže na neenake možnosti za opolnomočenje in potrebo po učinkovitejših organizacijskih in sistemskih ukrepih.

• Title: Understanding diversity in adult education : the key to empowering varied groups

Abstract

Findings from previous research have shown that participation in education is not evenly distributed. There-fore, based on the latest data from the Adult Education and Learning Survey (AELS), we examined which groups have the most and the least access to educational opportunities. In 2022, adult participation in formal and non-formal education in Slovenia was lower than in 2016. At the same time, the country exceeded the EU average in informal learning. Using a clustering method, we identified three groups of adults that differ in terms of employment status, age, education, and income. We found that the motivations for learning were similar across all groups, while the reasons for non-participation in organised educational activities varied. Among unemployed people, the main reason for nonparticipation was financial, indicating unequal opportunities for empowerment and the need for more effective organisational and systemic measures.
