The project Professionalization in the Context of Scientific Continuing Education is carried out by the IfBE as accompanying research in the joint project STUDICA II.

In the sub-project, reflection and professionalization processes in the context of academic continuing education are evaluated. The aim of the sub-project is to accompany and support pedagogically organized learning and reflection processes in STUDICA II in order to contribute to sustainable learning and thus to the professionalization of the participants.

Individual and collective reflection processes of students will be analyzed from the perspective of higher education didactics. Subsequently, an instrument will be developed, implemented and evaluated that leads to an increase in individual and collective learning and reflection processes and thus contributes to the professionalization of the participants.

The work of the STUDICA project network in the second funding phase aims to further develop and expand the STUDICA study model as a format of academic continuing education in terms of content, didactics, structure and organization into a higher education offering. With the sustainable and permanent implementation of the model, the university can take on a formative role in the lifelong acquisition of knowledge and competencies of professional and life-experienced target groups.
