Future of further training: Innovations from the South Palatinate in focus!

Martin P. Schwarz, a researcher at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), specializes in the continuing training. His roots in Steinweiler are important to him, which is why he remained true to his southern Palatinate homeland. At a time when further training is becoming increasingly important for every professional, he deals intensively with the challenges and opportunities that arise in this area. Schwarz ’research aims to win innovative perspectives and to develop an in -depth understanding of modern knowledge work in educational contexts.

The topic of continuing education is of great importance and is reinforced by numerous developments in the world of work. These range from the economization of education and advice to an increasing influence of management concepts on further training practice. These aspects are crucial to meet the requirements of a dynamic world of work. It is therefore essential to constantly evaluate and adapt the framework conditions and structures of continuous training.

an interdisciplinary approach

Schwarz, together with Wilfried Ferchhoff and Ralf Vollbrecht, published a book entitled "Professionalism: Knowledge - Context". This work deals with basics and reconstructions in the field of professional action. Especially in the focus of the analysis is the connection between professionalism, knowledge and social context, as Bernd Dewe describes it.

In the book, a multifaceted view of the logic of action and the specific tasks in different practical fields are discussed. These include adult education, leadership, university didactics, school, operational pedagogy and social work. A central concern is to respond the concept of professionalism and to develop new perspectives for the educational and consulting landscapes.

Contribution to research

Schwarz ’research is supported by the contributions of numerous renowned authors who deal intensively with the interfaces between knowledge and the practical challenges in educational and consulting fields. The co -authors include Gerd Antos, Micha Brumlik, Heiner Keup and many others. This interdisciplinary exchange leads to a deeper understanding of the requirements for specialists in an increasingly complex professional world.

In addition, it is important to deal with the current trends and statistics for continuing training.

As part of the current debates, it is becoming increasingly clear that further education is the key to the future of professional life.
