Povzetek

Članek poroča o rezultatih raziskovalne študije, ki je bila izvedena z izvajalci izobraževanja odraslih, zaposlenimi v centrih za izobraževanje odraslih na Cipru. Ukvarja se z vprašanji, kako doživljajo svoj profesionalni status, s kakšnimi ovirami se soočajo na poti k profesionalizaciji in še posebej kakšne so bile ovire v kontekstu epidemije covida-19. Študija na podlagi kvalitativne metodologije in pristopa od spodaj navzgor daje glas učiteljem odraslih in osmišlja njihove delovne izkušnje. Članek vključuje predloge za izboljšanje njihovega profesionalnega statusa na podlagi ideje humanizacije. V tem večplastnem procesu morata tesno sodelovati tako država kot izobraževalci sami.
