Ridefinire il profilo professionale del valutatore degli staff nell’educazione degli adulti

The evaluation of professionals involved in Adult Education (AE) staff has a crucial role in European policies. Furthermore, the syntagm educational work is difficult to define because it concerns a variegated target of users and an action which is played out in different contexts and for different purposes: the educational work is a complex “object to be evaluated” and the evaluation of the educational work requires different perspectives, methods and practices. Thanks to EDUEVAL project (an EU project coordinated by University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy: http://www.edueval.eu/), the AE staff Evaluator have been defined as a professional figure with different competences, having specific multi-functional characteristics to work in different contexts. In the study on the profile of the evaluator of AE staff and in designing the ensuing training model, consideration has been given, on the one hand, to the theoretical framework which considers the specific professional skills and competences of the evaluator; on the other hand, work was performed by recognizing the transversal professional skills and competences of the evaluator, through consulting and study of the ESCO portal. EDUEVAL results help to fuel debates in matters of the professionalization of evaluative practice.
