摘要：The OECD Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies, or PIAAC, provides a new international database with information about the key competencies of adults in 23 countries including Austria, which appears for the first time. The key competencies literacy, numeracy and problem solving in technology-rich environments are investigated. After presenting and to some extent publicly discussing the first national and comparative findings, this issue critically analyses the practical, political, and methodological consequences of the PIAAC from a national and an international perspective. What challenges for and to adult education must be faced after the PIAAC? The OECD spokesperson for the PIAAC, political institutions, adult education representatives and stakeholders as well as researchers all have the opportunity to speak. They explain questions and problems in connection with the methodology and interpretation of the PIAAC findings, consider more extensive analytical findings on the effectiveness of the PIAAC findings for the Austrian educational system and enquire into the consequences of the PIAAC, above all for the groups of people with few key competencies who were identified by the PIAAC. Many of the authors agree on one point: The PIAAC makes it apparent again that there is a need for discussion and clarification of the future development of adult education in Austria. (Ed.)
