E-Mode: the findings of the project on the attitudes and practises of trainers concerning the development of their own educational material and modules, with the use of ICT E-Mode/Lifelong Learning Programme Final Conference in Athens, November 19th, 2010 By Associate Professor Leif Emil Hansen, PAES/Department of Psychology and Educational Studies, Roskilde University, Denmark
Methodology and data • BG: desk survey; 48 questionnaires; focus groups – all among adult educators and volunteers • DK: desk survey; questionnaire with 25 respondents among diverse adult educators; a focus group • GR: 53 semistructured interviews with educators (diverse age, experience and gender) • SE: Policy paper plus reflective summary that refers to the E-Mode project • TU: 55 questionnaries among vocational adult educators (diverse age, gender and experience) plus one focus group with 14 participating educators – in general highly educated
Conclusions • In general the trainers are interested in developing their ICT skills – they want to get updated and to renew their knowledge, BUT: • They experience a lack of resources and support, in terms of: • Time • Access to relevant technology • Incentives in terms of agreements on work conditions, salaries and wages • LLL specific ICT programmes (i.e. sensitive electronic evaluation methods and schemes) • They do not – in their own opinion – have sufficient advanced ICT skills (for instance, the majority miss competences in the designing and evaluation part)
