How to train evaluators of Adult Education staff at a European level? Towards the design of a pilot curriculum in EduEval project

The evaluation of professionals involved in Adult Education staff has a crucial role in order to guarantee the quality of Adult Education (AE). EduEval is a project of the LLP Grundtvig Programme, coordinated by University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy (http://www.edueval.eu/), established with the main objective of redefining the professional profile of the evaluator of Adult Education staff. In this framework, six partners from five European countries work with a collaborative approach. The project offers a new methodology in the field of AE that arises from the importance of a cooperation between practitioners of the AE staff and academic researchers. The paper focuses on the pilot course designed by University of Bari to create a curriculum for the initial training of the professionals involved in the evaluation of AE staff.
