International and European intergovernmental organisations and the adult education research community all emphasise the importance of well-qualified personal working in the field of adult education. However, as previous research has shown, the diversity of the field is a ‘challenge’ to the greater professionalisation of adult education. Therefore, this paper investigates how the European Union conceptualises adult education professionalisation in the 21st century and how this is reflected in the Slovene adult education policy. For this purpose, the core official European Union and Slovene policy documents on the professionalisation of adult educators were analysed using documentary analysis. The theoretical framework of the Europeanisation of education was used, along with international and comparative perspectives in studies of adult education. Our findings indicate that in the Slovene context, the emphasis is on the recognition of different professional roles and competences that adult educators need to work successfully in different contexts rather than on the unification of their competences, which can be found in the European context.

欧洲和斯洛文尼亚背景下成人教育专业人员的能力

国际和欧洲政府间组织以及成人教育研究界都强调在成人教育领域中合格的个人工作的重要性。但是，如先前的研究所示，该领域的多样性是成人教育更加专业化的“挑战”。因此，本文研究了欧盟如何在21世纪将成人教育专业化概念化，以及这如何反映在斯洛文尼亚成人教育政策中。为此，使用文献分析法对欧盟和斯洛文尼亚有关成人教育工作者专业化的核心官方政策文件进行了分析。在成人教育研究中，使用了教育欧洲化的理论框架以及国际和比较观点。
