Bildung stellt eine zentrale Ressource dar, die für die Teilhabe in vielen Bereichen der Gesell­schaft von großer Bedeutung ist. Die Behindertenrechtskonvention fordert deshalb die gleichberechtigte Teilhabe für behinderte Menschen am Bildungssystem. Diese Forderung bezieht sich ausdrücklich auch auf die Erwachsenenbildung und damit auch auf den Zweiten Bildungsweg. Jedoch ist über den gemeinsamen Unterricht von behinderten und nichtbehinderten Kursteil­nehmenden im Zweiten Bildungsweg nur wenig bekannt. Dies ist umso erstaunlicher, da es gerade der Zweite Bildungsweg ist, der denjenigen behinderten Menschen eine zweite Chance zum Bildungserwerb eröffnen kann, die durch das Raster eines nicht, bzw. noch nicht vollständig inklusiven Schulsystems gefallen sind. Im folgenden Beitrag werden erste Befunde einer Untersuchung zur Handlungspraxis von Leitungs- und Lehrkräften im Zweiten Bildungsweg präsentiert. Hierbei soll die Frage diskutiert werden, welche Potenziale der Zweite Bildungsweg für eine Inklusive Erwachsenenbildung bietet. Grundlage hierfür bildet ein qualitativer Datensatz aus Gruppendiskussionen und Einzelinterviews.Abstract Education embodies an essential resource for the participation in many parts of the society. Therefore, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities calls for equal participation for disabled people in the education system. This demand explicitly refers to adult education and thus also to second chance education. However, little is known about joint teaching of disabled and non-disabled students in second chance education. Even so second chance education can provide a great opportunity of educational acquisition for disabled people who have fallen through the cracks of a school system, which is still not fully inclusive. The following article describes the first results of a research on the practice of action of headmasters and teachers in the second chance education. The main focus is thereby, which potentials the second chance education offers for an inclusive adult education. The basis for this research is a qualitative data set consisting of group discussions and individual interviews.

The study traces the pathways of young people who dropped out of school between grades 1 to 11 as they seek re-entrance to the education, training and development (ETD) system, or entrance into the labour market. Particular attention is given to the factors that determine the choices that drop-outs make in either re-entering the ETD system or entering the labour market. An analysis of the experiences of the interviewed sample of drop-outs is presented. The study employs a qualitative research methodology, using interviews to elicit the experiences of drop-outs and school managers. Through snowballing, 14 youths and three principals were selected from a township south of Durban. Individual and focus group interviews were conducted. The findings provide insights into the drop-outs’ perceptions regarding the value of investing in education. They are discussed further in relation to the respective theories used in the study. The concluding section suggests the need for investments in second chance education by government and the private sector, and proposes an integrated model to assist young people who re-enter psychologically and emotionally.

Drama in Education (DIE), as an artistic and educational experience, is sufficiently evidenced in the literature as a dialogical, liberating practice of education. This article discusses a practitioner research project in a second chance adult education school in Greece, where the use of a DIE teaching and learning approach was explored in an environmental adult education module. Self-directed learning in this study referred to learner-control and was used to uncover how power relations are constructed through the micro-politics of the classroom. The primary aim of the study was to establish whether the use of a DIE approach could enhance learners' motivation to participate in classroom choices and decisions, and thus take greater control and responsibility for their own learning process. The results indicate that resistance occurred when the teacher delegated greater responsibility than the learners were equipped to handle. The article concludes by advocating an educational encounter of shared authority and vulnerability between teacher and learners when working in and through the arts.

<p><em>This paper presents the main findings of the second stage of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Lifelong Learning study (2011-2014) on identification of good practices that facilitate adult learning (aged 18-24) engagement in second chance education in evening (shift) schools. It analyses students’ perceptions of plurilingual learning processes and the impact of people’s plurilingualism on their learning. The methodology of early school leavers’ learning in working life research was used applying combined phenomenological semi-structured and narrative interviews. 116 people (72 early school leavers and 44 second chance education teachers) representing all geographical regions of Latvia were addressed. The study identifies the differences between learning of bilingual and plurilingual people in formal and informal learning environments and describes the impact of plurilingualism on the learning quality. </em></p><p> </p>
