 Practical experiences and unmet needs among adult teachers regarding the use of
digital teaching methodologies and regarding challenges in motivating and retain-
ing vulnerable adult learners in online-based education within the non-formal edu-
cational sector.

 Perspective of the possibilities in digital pedagogy and the need for new pedagogi-
cal-didactic approaches in adult education, based on experiences among teachers
and educational experts.

The desk research and data collection through interviews with teachers and experts
were structured from a uniform template in order to ensure that overall themes and
issues would be identical across the national findings. The uniform template for desk
research and interviews took its point of departure in the European DigCompEdu
framework, which supports digital continued professional development (CPD) and
furthermore reviews central themes and issues in dealing with and assessing digital
competences among both teachers/trainers and various groups of learners. This in-
cluded the following research themes:

st
1 Research Theme: The Professional Engagement
nd
2 Research Theme: The Digital Resources
rd
3 Research Theme: Teaching and Learning
th
4 Research Theme: Empowering and facilitating adult learners´ digital competences
th
5 Research Theme: Unmet needs and requirements in digital educational settings
