Abstract:

 


The purpose of this study is to make a comparative analyse of goals, structure, and legal liability in adult education systems in England, Denmark, and Turkey. Since these countries are member, ex-member, or candidate countries of the European Union, the Union’s lifelong learning policies were also taken into consideration while doing the comparison. The method of the research is comparative adult education. This study does not include human subjects, thus ethics committee approval decision is not needed. The goals, structure, and legal liability of England, Denmark, and Turkey’s adult education systems were compared. The findings showed that these three countries’ adult education targets are parallel with the EU’s lifelong learning goals. According to the analyses of the adult education structure, it has been noted that the local governments are active in England. In Denmark, three different stakeholders can be seen and they reach a wider group. On the other hand, Turkey’s adult education is a public service. Whereas local authorities are responsible for legal liability in England, state and associations are responsible for it in Denmark. The central government is responsible for legal liability in Turkey. It was showed that the adult education provision in Denmark is much more withstanding than the one in Turkey and England.

Bu araştırmanın amacı AB’ye üye olan, eskiyen üye olan veya aday ülke olan İngiltere, Danimarka ve Türkiye’de yetişkin eğitiminin hedefleri, yapısı ve yasal sorumluluğunu karşılaştırarak analiz etmektir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmanın yöntemi karşılaştırmalı yetişkin eğitimidir. Bu araştırma insanlar üzerinde yapılmadığı için etik kurul onayı gerekmemektedir. Araştırmada, söz konusu ülkelerin yetişkin eğitimi sistemlerinin hedefleri, yapısı ve yasal sorumluluğu karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu araştırmada elde edilen bulgulardan ilki, AB’nin yaşam boyu öğrenme hedeflerinin her üç ülkenin yetişkin eğitimi hedeflerini etkilemiş olduğudur. Söz konusu ülkelerdeki yetişkin eğitimi sistemi yapı boyutunda incelendiğinde, yerel yönetimlerin İngiltere’de etkin olduğu, Danimarka’da üç farklı paydaşın yer aldığı, Türkiye’de ise kamunun yetişkin eğitiminde ağırlıklı rol aldığı görülmüştür. İngiltere’de yerel yönetimler yasal sorumluluğu üstlenirken Danimarka’da kamu ve birliklerin bu rolü üstlendiği belirlenmiştir. Merkeziyetçi bir yapıya sahip Türkiye’de ise yasal sorumluluk merkezdedir. Yetişkin eğitimi hizmetlerini en başarılı bir şekilde yürüten ülkenin Danimarka olduğu görülmüştür.
