Psychological Capital: The Missing Link
Brennan, Aislinn; O'Grady, Maeve
Adult Learner: The Irish Journal of Adult and Community Education, p54-75 2022
The funding model for further education and training (FET) in the Republic of Ireland currently describes provider and learner success in narrow quantifiable terms as captured on the national Programme Learner Support System (PLSS). FET practitioners have grappled with the restrictive rigidity of these outcomes and measures of success for adult learners. This article investigates the concept of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) as a means of widening outcomes and measures in FET.
