Evaluation and Life Long Learning

The views of the Greek teachers of the Second Chance Schools on their evaluation

Studying the Greek and international bibliography, we notice that there is an agreement regarding the need and value of lifelong learning and adult education. A process necessary for the society and the personal and professional development of individuals. After all, if we want to talk about a healthy education system, it should be open and provide incentives for development and lifelong learning as well as ways to overcome obstacles. One such example is the Second Chance Schools in order to handle the educational and consequent social exclusion of young people from underprivileged social strata. In this context, the role of the adult trainer is characterized by complexity and increased demands, as his entire participation in Adult Education is of strategic importance. Therefore, in the present research, which is in progress, we focused on capturing the views of the instructors working in the Second Chance Schools regarding their evaluation. The survey tool was designed in such a way as to meet its objectives. It consists of closed and open type questions. The processing of the data of the teachers' questionnaire regarding the implementation of the institution of evaluation in Greek education will be done through the statistical program SPSS PC (Statistical Package for Social Science of SPSS). Regarding results in an indicative way, teachers have a positive view of evaluation in general. They are also positive regarding the evaluation of all the factors that affect the efficiency and proper functioning of Second Chance Schools.
