Perceptions on and attitudes towards lifelong learning in the educational system

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

Lifelong learning (LLL) is of international concern and schools are an important, however, a neglected context to
foster LLL. The aim of the thematic analysis was to explore how teachers define LLL, how they perceive their own
role in fostering LLL, which strategies they use to foster LLL competencies in their students, and if and where they
can learn about LLL themselves. The sample consisted of 15 teachers and headmasters. Even though teachers
already apply a lot of strategies to foster LLL competencies in their students, the results indicate the need to
increase awareness of the influence teachers have.
