Bildung - Wikipedia Bildung (German: [ˈbɪldʊŋ], "education, formation, etc.") refers to the German tradition of self-cultivation (as related to the German for: creation, image, shape), wherein philosophy and education are linked in a manner that refers to a process of both personal and cultural maturation. This maturation is described as a harmonization of the individual's mind and heart and in a unification of selfhood and identity within the broader society, as evidenced with the literary tradition of Bildungsroman. In this sense, education involves the shaping of the human being with regard to his/her own humanity as well as his/her innate intellectual skills. So, the term refers a process of becoming that can be related to a process of becoming within Existentialism. The term Bildung also corresponds to the Humboldtian model of higher education from the work of Prussian philosopher and educational administrator Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835).

ARG:dundee XVI Rapporto sulla Formazione Continua in Italia — ISFOL Questi, alcuni dei dati più salienti, del XVI Rapporto sulla Formazione continua in Italia, realizzato dall’Isfol per conto del Ministero del Lavoro e presentato ieri presso la sede del Cnel. “Un lavoro molto ricco”, ha sottolineato Stefano Sacchi, introducendo i lavori della giornata. Il Rapporto – ha proseguito il Commissario straordinario dell’Isfol – evidenzia il divario che ancora esiste tra il tasso italiano di partecipazione e il target fissato dalla UE, ma i passi in avanti che sta compiendo il nostro Paese sono rilevanti. Tornando ai dati del Rapporto, illustrato da Davide Premutico, Ricercatore Isfol, emerge che sul piano finanziario la necessità di rispondere all’impatto della crisi economica ha comportato il trasferimento di consistenti quote dalla formazione continua agli ammortizzatori sociali in deroga, per un valore complessivo che nel periodo 2009-15 ha raggiunto oltre 1 miliardo di euro. Le conclusione della giornata sono state affidate al Sottosegretario, On. Highlights

College for $99 a Month by Kevin Carey August 20, 2009 11:40 AMCollege for $99 a Month The next generation of online education could be great for students—and catastrophic for universities. By Kevin Carey Like millions of other Americans, Barbara Solvig lost her job this year. A fifty-year-old mother of three, Solvig had taken college courses at Northeastern Illinois University years ago, but never earned a degree. Ever since, she had been forced to settle for less money than coworkers with similar jobs who had bachelor’s degrees. Luckily for Solvig, there were new options available. Solvig threw herself into the work, studying up to eighteen hours a day. Crucially for Solvig—who needed to get back into the workforce as soon as possible—StraighterLine let students move through courses as quickly or slowly as they chose. And if Solvig needed any further proof that her online education was the real deal, she found it when her daughter came home from a local community college one day, complaining about her math course.
