Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the way people work and learn in unprecedented ways. Also, the pandemic has moved more business activity online, increasing the need for training and prompting them to build more online trainings. In this time of crisis, a suitable response requires novel ways to enable interaction between adult learners, adult learners and teachers, adult learners and content using online tools so that no one is left behind. In the context of regional development, online adult learning provides economic active inhabitants with wide opportunities since employees are able to attend high-quality trainings regardless the place of residence. In context of COVID-19, during the emergency situation Latvia has fully moved to remote learning, including adult learning. Educational institutions as well as enterprises that organise trainings for adults have to implement remote learning using several online tools. The aim of the paper is to analyse the main challenges of the adult learning sector in Latvia in context of COVID-19 taking into consideration the regional development issues. In order to achieve the aim, following research methods have been used: scientific literature studies, statistical data analysis, interviews. Main results of the survey: in case of Latvia, the Ministry of Education and Science of Republic of Latvia has launched several initiatives towards enabling the shift to online learning, providing recommendations, digital tools as well as good practice sharing. At the same time, there is no methodology and detailed step-by-step recommendations, how to develop the online education learning for educational institutions in Latvia. However, there are incentives to develop online adult learning via project funding.
2019冠状病毒病背景下拉脱维亚成人教育部门面临的挑战
COVID-19大流行以前所未有的方式影响了人们的工作和学习方式。此外,大流行已将更多的商业活动转移到网上,增加了对培训的需求,并促使他们建立更多的在线培训。在这一危机时刻,适当的应对措施需要新颖的方式,使成人学习者、成人学习者与教师、成人学习者与内容之间能够利用在线工具进行互动,不让任何人掉队。在区域发展的背景下,在线成人学习为经济活跃的居民提供了广泛的机会,因为员工无论居住在哪里都可以参加高质量的培训。在2019冠状病毒病的背景下,拉脱维亚在紧急情况下全面转向远程学习,包括成人学习。教育机构以及组织成人培训的企业必须使用多种在线工具实施远程学习。本文的目的是在考虑到区域发展问题的情况下,分析拉脱维亚成人学习部门在COVID-19背景下面临的主要挑战。为了达到研究目的,本文采用了科学文献研究、统计数据分析、访谈等研究方法。调查的主要结果:就拉脱维亚而言,拉脱维亚共和国教育和科学部发起了几项倡议,以实现向在线学习的转变,提供建议、数字工具以及良好实践分享。同时,对于拉脱维亚教育机构如何开展在线教育学习,尚无方法论和详细的分步建议。然而,通过项目资助发展在线成人学习是有动机的。
