Kürzer und Kompakter: Veränderungen von Zeitstrukturen bei VHS-Veranstaltungen

摘要

Data on adult education centres kept since 19 2 show interesting longitudinal historical results regarding time structures for adult education classes offered at adult education centres: (1) The increase in continuing education activities which can be observed on the whole is only accounted for by course-type classes, not by individual classes. (2) The average course time has decreased by about 20 percent over the last 20 years. ( ) With respect to forms of time organisation, the evening course taking place once a week has lost importance. In contrast, classes during the day and courses taking place several times a week have become more prevalent. The results are presented broken down according to topical areas.
