V središču prispevka je odprta metoda koordinacije (OMK) na področju izobraževalnih politik. Pri tem v prispevku sledimo opredelitvam, da OMK ni nevtralna metoda, kot to prikazujejo njene izvorne opredelitve, temveč posebna oblika (političnega) vladanja. Temeljni uvidi v predpostavke njenega delovanja so predstavljeni na podlagi teoretsko-konceptualnega okvira nove oblike vladavine, evropeizacije, javnopolitičnega učenja in na podatkih temelječega oblikovanja politik, metoda pa je osvetljena tudi z analizo konkretnih mehanizmov njenega delovanja (sprejetih formalnih javnopolitičnih in drugih neformalnih dokumentov ter izvedenih aktivnosti) v evropskem in slovenskem izobraževalnem prostoru. V prispevku prikazujemo, kako se je evropsko sodelovanje na področju izobraževanja odraslih od leta 2000 dalje na podlagi uporabe posameznih elementov OMK poglobilo in kakšne implikacije so navedeni procesi imeli za vsebino in postopke oblikovanja politik izobraževanja odraslih v Sloveniji v preučevanem obdobju. Z navedenimi izsledki osvetljujemo doslej zaznano nekritično sprejemanje evropskih usmeritev na področju izobraževanja odraslih v Sloveniji.
The open method of coordination (OMC) holds great potential to improve various (qualitative and quantitative) aspects of education policies in EU member states. Due to its soft/non-obligatory way of infl uencing policy, it is particularly interesting to investigate to what extent its potential is actually put to good use in member states and which factors determine whether member states actually achieve the Lisbon Strategy's goals. Bearing in mind the lack of empirical evidence for the OMC's infl uence on national education policies, and considering the theoretical assumptions of soft modes of governance, Europeanisation processes and policy learning, this article identifi es the potential of the OMC, and analyses its (possible) impact on education policy in Slovenia. Here, the article limits itself to the lifelong learning policy and seeks to discover the extent to which the OMC's potential in this regard is taken advantage of in Slovenia. The article concludes that, although relatively good results are visible in National/EU Progress Reports, its full potential has not been exploited. The authors explain that good quantitative goals are achievable for member states even without respecting the qualitative goals related to good governance. In order to make use of all of the potential, more knowledge about the OMC in Slovenia would be required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
