This article aimed to analyze, through a qualitative study (i.e., semi-structured interview), the opinions and knowledge of fourth-year future teachers at a Spanish public university (University of Granada) regarding training and the need for first aid (FA) at school. With a sample of 70 subjects in their last year of training, our conclusion is that although they are aware of the importance of first aid for their professional development, there is no such training in their careers, and thus they have great difficulty understanding how to react to emergency situations on the job.

Preparation of undergraduates and privat-docents for professorship in the late XIX – early XX century is considered on the example of Moscow University through the prism of the biography of a historian and a jurist Sergei Andreevich Kotlyarevsky. The uniqueness of his example lies in the fact that he defended four dissertations: master’s and doctoral dissertations on foreign history and master’s and doctoral dissertations on public law. This demonstrates some individualism of the trajectory showing his professional development and formation as a scientist and a teacher. The research perspective includes the process of young scientists’ formation from the moment of continuing working at the university’s profile department to prepare a dissertation up to obtaining the degree. Attention is paid to socio-political circumstances and conditions affecting the possibility of becoming a professional scientist and teacher. Both formal and special features of the training scientific and teaching staff inherent in a particular scientific community are noted. The professional development of future scientists and teachers of higher education was associated with active preparation for the defense of the master’s exam, the first teaching experience, scientific and research work. The best graduates were left at the departments with the support of leading university professors who saw new forces and future professionals in them. However, the personal contribution of the applicants themselves was important, since they were required to reveal their intellectual potential, pedagogical and research skills. At this, an important aspect was the opportunity to go on foreign business trips, in which not only the material of scientific research was collected, but knowledge was enriched as well, including getting to know the peculiarities of teaching in European countries and their socio-political life. The preparation process was completed with the public defense of the master’s dissertation and awarding a master’s degree. At the same time, the path to the teaching environment began, which required further disclosure of scientific potential and the defense of a doctoral dissertation in order to obtain a professorship.

Training Practice

Die allgemeine, öffentliche Erwachsenenbildung folgt traditionell dem (inklusiven) Prinzip einer Bildung für Alle. Fragen der Bildungsbenachteiligung, Zielgruppendifferenzierung oder Heterogenität werden sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Praxis virulent. Diskussionen über eine Steigerung der Bildungsteilnahme von Menschen mit Behinderung finden hingegen eher zögerlich statt und werden vermehrt seit der Ratifizierung der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention in Deutschland geführt. Die Qualifizierung des Personals – häufig konkretisiert in Fortbildungen – stellt dabei ein zentrales Element für eine inklusive Ausrichtung der allgemeinen, öffentlichen Erwachsenenbildung dar. Der Beitrag behandelt die Frage, wie sich die aktuelle Fortbildungspraxis zu Inklusion gestaltet. Auf der Grundlage empirischer Teilergebnisse eines Projekts zur inklusiven Erwachsenenbildung werden Umsetzungsrealitäten vorgestellt und Impulse für eine Professionalitätsentwicklung diskutiert. Die Befunde beziehen sich auf das institutionelle Feld von Volkshochschule und werden am Beispiel der Fortbildungspraxis von Kursleitungen eruiert. Aus einer Organisationsperspektive werden Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen einer Professionalitätsentwicklung für eine inklusive Erwachsenenbildung – im Besonderen von Lehrpersonal an Volkshochschulen – erfasst.Abstract General public adult education traditionally follows the (inclusive) principle of education for all. Questions of educational disadvantage target group differentiation or heterogeneity are virulent in both science and practice. Discussions about increasing the participation of people with disabilities are rather hesitant and have been held more and more since the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Germany. The qualification of staff often specified in further training is a key element for the inclusive orientation of general public adult education. The article deals with the question of how the current training practice on inclusion is organised. On the basis of empirical partial results of a project on inclusive adult education implementation realities are presented and impulses for a professional development are discussed. The findings relate to the institutional field of adult education centres and are determined by using the example of the continuing training practice of course leaders. From an organisational perspective opportunities and challenges for professional development for inclusive adult education in particular teaching staff at adult education centres are covered.

This paper discusses the issues around the professional development needs of sessional teaching staff in the UK. The introduction of the UK professional standards framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education in 2006 raised the issue of engaging the wide range of staff, faculty, and learning support in professional development. Sessional teaching staff present a challenge when their main employment is outside of the institution.
