The Evalutation of Adult Education Staff. EDUEVAL Curriculum. Volume 1

EDUEVAL Curriculum is the first of three volumes based on the results of EDUEVAL - Evaluation for the Professional Development of Adult Education Staff Project, supported by the LLP – Grundtvig Multilateral Projects of the European Commission. Specifically, the EDUEVAL Curriculum describes the structure of the training course and addresses all those who are interested in training the professional profile of the evaluator of adult education staff. The evaluator of Adult Education staff is a professional profile which as yet is not very well defined in Europe, even though evaluation is a critical aspect in order to guarantee and improve a high standard of quality in adult education system. The survey carried out as part of the EDUEVAL project in the five Countries involved4 shows how AE staff are evaluated by different professional figures with different functions. The intention of the EDUEVAL Project, starting from the complexity of the evaluation processes, models and practices when referred to the educational work, has been to overcome this gap, contributing to defining the professional profile of the evaluator of AE staff at European level.
