Research variables and conditions in adult participation in education

The main goal of this course is to highlight and analyze all those conditions and variables which relate to research on adult participation in education and training. The main question that has occupied and continues to occupy researchers in this field of study of adult education has two components and is: "Which adults and for what reasons participate in education?". Even if the answer to such a question is taken by some as a given or simple any other than that is so. For most scholars and theorists in the field, participation is more related to motivation (achievement or learning) than to some essential need for the development of the individual (whether it comes from the individual itself or comes as a result of external factors).

Interactive Whiteboard. Computers. Power point Video Moodle The educational material also includes: • Original scientific bibliography (of the trade) in Greek and English, adapted, if and where needed, to the needs of the adult learner with a Study Guide. The Study Guide will be written during the previous academic year. • Self-assessment exercises, instructional videos, presentations that will be developed by the teacher during the academic year. • Additional educational material, for further study that will be posted on the website of the teacher. • Specially designed educational material to fill gaps in the literature and adapted to the needs of the program.

The language of evaluation is Greek. The evaluation is comprehensive / conclusive based on the written work in the course. The topic and content of the written work should be included in one of the 13 thematic categories examined during the course (based on the content of the course presented above). The final form of the work must be a typed and printed or digital text that does not exceed 30 pages (ie 8,000 words together with the bibliography and without appendices or sources which must be submitted separately or attached to the work ), with 1½ line spacing, 2.5 cm page margins and font size 12. Handwriting is not accepted. The evaluation criteria of the written work are accessible to students at the website http://www.gkzarifis.com/postgraduatecourses.htm and are the following: Criterion 1: Content of ideas (5 credits) • The student understands the wording of the question perfectly and fully meets the requirements of the work (5.0 - 4.0). • The student adequately understands the wording of the question and responds satisfactorily to the requirements of the work (3.9 - 2.5). • The student does not adequately understand the wording of the question and only partially meets the requirements of the thesis (2.4 - 1.0). • The student does not understand the wording of the question at all and does not meet the requirements of the work (0.9 - 0.0). Criterion 2: Structure (1.5 points) • The student fully understands and applies perfectly the rules of building an academic thesis (1.5 - 1.2). • The student generally understands and applies to a large extent the rules of building an academic thesis (1.2 - 1.0). • The work presents obvious and significant shortcomings in the application of the building rules of an academic work (0.9 - 0.5). The work presents elementary and fundamental shortcomings in understanding and applying the building blocks of an academic work (0.4 - 0.0). Criterion 3: Presentation & linguistic expression (1.5 points) • The student fully understands and applies perfectly the rules of presentation of an academic work (1.5 - 1.0). • The student generally understands and applies to a large extent the rules of presentation of an academic work (0.9 - 0.5). • The thesis presents obvious and significant defects in the application of the rules of presentation of an academic thesis (0.4 - 0.0). Criterion 4: Research (2 credits) • The work presents very clear indications of personal research (2.0 - 1.5). • The paper presents sufficient evidence of personal research (1.4 - 1.0). • The thesis shows little or no evidence of personal research (0.9 - 0.0).
