EDAE – THE ENCYCLOPEDIC DICTIONARY OF ADULT EDUCATION

The lexicographical pluralism is generated both by the demand to answer to the needs of a heterogeneous class of readers with relevant working tools and also, by the editorial competition. From the inventory of a language words until the presentation of knowledge gained in a specific field, dictionaries mark the transition from specialist knowledge accessible to specialists to a knowledge of mass in the context of an acute need for information specific to the modern world. In this context subscribes the project called „The Encyclopedic Dictionary of adult education”, financed by budgetary funds of NURC (National University Research Centre), and who is currently realized within the Department Dictionaries & Encyclopedias, University "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" of Iasi.

DEEA project is part of the national and international approaches of theoretical foundation, offering a conceptual and methodological framework, who is specific to the field of lifelong learning and adult.
