註釋Research on the training needs of part-time community education workers in 1988 in Scotland focused on adult educators. Thirty-two 45-minute tape-recorded interviews were conducted in three areas: an inner-city area, a rural area, and a mixed area of large towns with a rural hinterland. The interviewee group included 21 part-time adult educators and 11 immediate employers or trainers. Four broad categories of training needs for part-time adult education workers were identified: (1) an introduction to the setting in which one is operating; (2) the development of key basic skills necessary to perform the job of part-time adult educator; (3) refresher courses for experienced workers; and (4) specialist courses such as counseling, assertiveness, and computers. Existing training was perceived as successful by the part-time workers when it included opportunities to meet other part-time staff, was content-relevant to the work situation, included practical activities, was not too time consuming, and was delivered by those with recent experience in adult education. Although few of the interviewees had experienced modular training, there was considerable support for a modular approach from part-time staff; however, full-time staff voiced many doubts about it.
