摘要：Education in general and adult education in particular are just as much a driving force as they are a result of social, political and technological developments and reflections. Over the past decades, the catchword “modernization” has been very popular. Individualization, flexibilization, professionalization etc. have shaped the discussions and had an influence on funding policies, educational goals, program development and education/learning formats. Are these the same phenomena today that drive the field of adult education and advance adult education in theory and practice? This issue of the Austrian Open Acces Journal on Adult Education (Magazin erwachsenenbildung.at in German) provides a forum for observations and expert opinions and identifies the forces of renewal, the signals of trends, and the challenges and needs for action projected into the future. Once again, this gives rise to ambiguity and ambivalence, and path-breaking contributions point to both the near future, as well as to uncertainty and contradiction. What remains as a common denominator is an adult education as a reflective practice and theory that renews itself through a continuous process of self-assessment; builds bridges between individuals, organizations and society; refuses to close its eyes to the downsides of modernization; and offers a counter program. This thus leads to new forms of collective activity: the co-production and dissemination of knowledge, self-organizing diversity, and education that constantly questions the relationship between self and world.
