Abstract
This presentation describes a competence framework for teachers in adult education based on a synthesis of international attempts, the first step in its adaptation to the Croatian reality using a participatory methodology, and an example of its application. The suggested framework contains 50 competences, organised into six core-competences: (1) facilitating learner-centred innovative learning & teaching; (2) assessing and monitoring learning processes and outcomes; (3) designing & implementing programmes, schedules, training materials and didactic methods; (4) providing learner guidance and counseling; (5) forming partnerships within & outside own institution; and (6) pursuing own professional development and creativity. From the 50 described competences 23 correspond to the level 6 competences as defined in the European Qualifications Framework and the other 27 to level 7 in this framework. The application of the competency framework in continuing professional development of teachers in adult education is illustrated, as well as its function as basis for a qualifications framework for this profession. Further steps in the validation/adaptation process of the competency framework are outlined.
