Measuring the Impact of Informal Learning on Active Citizenship… Task and Setting
What is Active Citizenship- Regarding the Individual rather than the community - Demand oriented vs.supply oriented approach- Context related What are Citizenship Competencesand how can we display and prove them->”Evidencing” 3 Dimensions - Cognitive, - Activity related and - Affective 3. Active Citizenship
2. Informal Learning • “(Citizenship) Learning in Everyday Life” • -> Micro-projects for non-mainstreaming groups • Individual (citizen-) life context taking in regard: - physical condition - state of mind - specific motivational situation - environment - resources - …..
1. Measuring the Impact • Specific Evaluation Concept: • Measuring the learning process (dynamic model) • Open Inventory for relevant (context related) competences • In informal contexts, evaluation must be at the same time: specific, comparable and flexible (a “growing” system) • Subjective!
