Samoevalvacija kakovosti izobraževanja odraslih – 1. del

The article is the first in the line of articles dealing with the issues of quality in adult education and with the POKI model (Offering quality education to adults), developed by Slovenian Institute for Adult Education and being in use since 2001. The model defines self-evaluation as basic method for quality assessment but is based in its core on the total quality management (TQM) principle. The model has been rather well accepted within the network of organisations, implementing educational programmes for adults. The five-year era of the model implementation gives us time to reflect and rethink in depth about it and its efficiency (results). In the first article the starting points, serving as guidelines for the beginning of the POKI model, have been introduced, same as its basic conceptual characteristics including the process of the model implementation in an educational organisation.Članek je prvi v vrsti prispevkov o vprašanjih kakovosti izobraževanja odraslih in modelu POKI (Ponudimo odraslim kakovostno izobraÏevanje), ki ga je razvil Andragoški center Slovenije in se v praksi uporablja od leta 2001. Model kot temeljno metodo za presojanje kakovosti opredeljuje samoevalvacijo, izhaja pa iz načel celostnega obvladovanja kakovosti (Total quality management – TQM). V omrežju tistih, ki izobražujejo odrasle, se je model precej uveljavil. Petletno obdobje uporabe modela je čas, da se opravi temeljitejši razmislek o modelu in njegovih učinkih. V prvem prispevku so tako predstavljena izhodišča, ki so usmerjala nastanek modela POKI, njegove temeljne konceptualne značilnosti in proces uporabe modela v izobraževalni organizaciji
