The European Union has set the goal to make lifelong learning a reality for more people through the creation of flexible pathways to improve access to higher levels of education and employment. Validation of non-formal and informal learning (VNFIL), which is intended to make learning from everyday work and life visible, is an important means to this goal. Nevertheless, in many countries take-up of VNFIL remains low among disadvantaged groups. While a variety of factors, such as outreach and accessibility of VNFIL, may affect take-up, the VNFIL approach and quality of assessment are important factors. This article describes alternative VNFIL assessment approaches identified in Innoval (2016–2018), an Erasmus+ project focused on supporting and empowering disadvantaged learners as they pursue further education, employment and/or certification.

验证非正规和非正式学习以支持弱势学习者：替代评估

欧盟已设定目标，通过创建灵活的途径来改善获得更高水平教育和就业的机会，使更多人的终身学习成为现实。非正规和非正式学习 (VNFIL) 的验证旨在使日常工作和生活中的学习可见，是实现这一目标的重要手段。然而，在许多国家，弱势群体对 VNFIL 的使用率仍然很低。虽然 VNFIL 的外展和可及性等多种因素可能会影响采用，但 VNFIL 方法和评估质量是重要因素。本文介绍了 Innoval（2016-2018）中确定的替代 VNFIL 评估方法，这是一个 Erasmus+ 项目，专注于支持和赋权弱势学习者，因为他们追求进一步教育、就业和/或认证。
