EDUCAP – Educational Capacity of Learners
Educational capacity can be described as the learner’s potential in terms of motivation, abilities and learning
experiences that are relevant for their access to, active participation in and processing of a specific training course or
educational programme.
The aim of the project is to share and exchange experiences of the partners in order to increase the common knowledge
and practice with regard to educational capacity. A second aim is to produce - based on the existing practices and
experiences - user-friendly instruments/tools for gauging and improving the educational capacity of the (potential)
learner with respect to the access to and the alignment of specific learning programmes. The instruments will be
developed and tested by the partners with close involvement of the learners. The project will be coached by professor
Dr. Herman Baert of the Catholic University of Leuven (Centre for Research on Adult and Continuing Education).
Training of the partners and dissemination of the interim and final results on a European level will be an integral part of
the project. A Website will be developed open to the public to continually comment on and improve the draft
instruments. The common actions of sharing experiences, development of tools and coaching will stimulate the learning
process of all the partners involved on the topic of educational capacity.
