Abstract

This study deals with the extent to which adult educators in a number of countries have access to information about adult education in other countries through the pages of their national adult education journals. It is based on a conviction that adult educators in any country can benefit from being informed about developments abroad. The study covers a 15 year period, 1972- 1986. Fifteen journals from eleven countries were subject of the analysis. The study revealed that in terms of frequency and volume adult educators in Poland had the most access to information about adult education abroad, while colleagues in New Zealand had the least access, with Canadians being next to last in access.

Résumé

Cette étude traite de l'accès des éducateurs d'adultes aux travaux de leurs collègues oeuvrant dans d'autres pays. Pour celà, les revues spécialisées en éducation des adultes d'un certain nombre de pays ont été examinées. L'étude s'appuie sur la conviction que les éducateurs d'adultes peuvent tirer profit d'une meilleure connaissance de ce qui se fait ailleurs dans le monde. Elle couvre une période de 15 ans, de 1972 à 1986. Quinze revues spécialisées, publiées dans onze pays, ont été analysées. L'étude révèle qu'en termes de fréquence et de volume d'information, les éducateurs d'adultes polonais ont le meilleur accès à ce qui se fait à l'étranger; les collègues néo-zélandais ont le plus faible accès et les Canadiens les précèdent de peu.
