Book Synopsis Assessing and Acknowledging Learning Through Non-Accredited Community Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Programs by : Darryl Dymock
Download or read book Assessing and Acknowledging Learning Through Non-Accredited Community Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Programs written by Darryl Dymock and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Support Document was produced by the authors based on their research for the report, "Assessing and Acknowledging Learning through Non-Accredited Community Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Programs," and is an added resource for further information. There were five phases of this project: Phase 1 comprised further interrogation of Dymock's 2006 NCVER research data, a literature review, and identification of possible research partners; Phases 2 and 3, included reporting of interviews conducted at each of the partner sites and the collaborative development of a draft portfolio of monitoring tools. The testing and validation of those tools was the major activity of Phase 4, culminating in a workshop with the partners and researchers. Phase 5 entailed preparation of the Final Draft Report for feedback from the project partners and the NCVER internal and external reviewers, followed by submission of the Final Report. The purpose of this Support Document is to provide: (1) a full version of the literature review, and the possible bases for identifying the wider benefits of learning which emerged from that review; (2) a set of tables to summarise illustrative comments from coordinators, tutors and students about wider outcomes of adult language, literacy and numeracy learning, categorised against those tentative bases; (3) a table to capture the perceptions of coordinators, teachers & tutors about the extent to which it might be possible to develop indicators for those bases; (4) a table showing the responses of practitioners and students to examples of possible instruments for monitoring progress in non-accredited language, literacy and numeracy learning; (5) profiles of the five partner organisations for the project; (6) partners' reports on the trial of the selected instruments; and (7) copies of the original and revised interview schedules. In addition, a pdf attachment includes as appendices the nine examples of instruments for monitoring progress identified during the literature review and to which practitioners and students responded, and from which the six trial instruments were derived. (Contains 10 tables.) [For the full report, see ED503376.

Book Synopsis Integrated Approaches to Teaching Adult Literacy in Australia by : Rosa McKenna
Download or read book Integrated Approaches to Teaching Adult Literacy in Australia written by Rosa McKenna and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New ways of thinking about how language, literacy and numeracy skills are taught has coincided with a fundamental policy change in the vocational education and training sector. A major development has been the integration of literacy, language and numeracy skills into vocational training. The complexity of the issues makes it important to gain a better understanding of what actually happens in Australia, especially in the workplace. This study explores how training practitioners are using the reforms in the national training system, and their knowledge of new approaches to teaching and learning to integrate language, literacy and numeracy into workplace training programs in the community services sector. Although the study is small scale, it provides an informative snapshot of how a number of providers are integrating language, literacy and numeracy into vocational programs.

Book Synopsis Adult Numeracy Policy and Research in Australia by : Joy Cumming
Download or read book Adult Numeracy Policy and Research in Australia written by Joy Cumming and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although adult numeracy or basic mathematics classes have existed throughout Australia since at least the 1970s, they did not receive prominence in provision or policy until the endorsement of the Australian Language and Literacy Policy in 1991. The following are still lacking, however: expectation that adult numeracy teachers will have formal specific qualifications; systematic exploration of the nature of numeracy and development or nationally agreed-upon definitions; clear policy statements about the significance of numeracy in Australian society and strategies to address perceived needs for training and development; data on the extent of the need for national-level provision in adult literacy; and funding for designated research projects in adult numeracy. Further research is also needed on the following topics: nature of adult numeracy; role of language in numeracy and mathematics; role of mathematics in language; needs of specific groups in numeracy education; adult numeracy practices and needs; critical numeracy; adult learning and numeracy; effective instruction, assessment, and reporting in adult numeracy; and policy initiatives and provision effects in adult numeracy provision. Research initiatives in policy, provision, and pedagogy should be initiated immediately. (Contains 19 references.) (MN)

Book Synopsis Adult Literacy, Numeracy And Language: Policy, Practice And Research by : Tett, Lyn
Download or read book Adult Literacy, Numeracy And Language: Policy, Practice And Research written by Tett, Lyn and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the social practice of literacy, numeracy and language and its implications for teaching and learning adult basic skills. Leading international experts argue that literacy, numeracy and language are more than just a set of skills or techniques, but are shaped by the social and cultural context within which they are taking place; the meanings they have for users; and the purposes they serve. This shifts the focus from a narrow, functional and externally imposed definition of literacy, numeracy and language learning, to more open and numerous definitions that focus on what people do with their knowledge, understanding and skills in a range of contexts. Adult Literacy, Numeracy and Languageshows how the social practice approach to learning and teaching can be used to develop more inclusive views of adult literacy, numeracy and language. Bringing together the views of researchers, policy makers and practitioners, it helps readers to develop an understanding of contemporary policy developments and encourages them to examine their own practice as adult basic education teachers, in order to respond more effectively to the needs of their students. This book is a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers and students on courses in adult and continuing education (particularly basic skills), postgraduate students, and researchers in the field of post-compulsory education.
Book Synopsis Beyond Economic Interests by : Keiko Yasukawa
Download or read book Beyond Economic Interests written by Keiko Yasukawa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, an increasingly economistic discourse has dominated discussions about adult literacy and numeracy. This book provides critiques of, and alternative narratives to the dominant discourse. Authors provide tools and methodologies of critique, including ways of seeing how policies in the countries of focus come to be captured almost completely by the interests of business and industry, as well as how to critically interpret the data that policy makers use to justify their priorities. But adult literacy and numeracy practitioners and learners find spaces and places to pursue learning that matters for the lived experiences of adults and their communities. Beyond Economic Interests presents the struggles and achievements of practitioners and learners that lead the readers of the book to critically appreciate that a counter narrative to the purely economistic discourse of adult literacy and numeracy is much needed, and possible.

Book Synopsis Literacy in the Lives of Working-Class Adults in Australia by : Stephen Black
Download or read book Literacy in the Lives of Working-Class Adults in Australia written by Stephen Black and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting a 'social practice' approach to literacy research based on ethnographic methods, this book provides a strong critique of dominant understandings of the role of literacy in the lives of adults in Australia. It explores how groups of working-class adults can manage the literacy practices of their everyday lives by drawing on social networks of support. It is based on research conducted by the author over a forty-year career in adult literacy education, featuring the voices of varied adult groups, including: prisoners, the long-term unemployed, local council workers, manufacturing workers, adult literacy students, marginalised young people, vocational students, and patients living with a chronic illness (type 2 diabetes). Each chapter explains how dominant society views these adult groups in relation to literacy, and provides a qualitative examination at the local level of how members of these groups manage the literacy practices of their everyday lives.
Book Synopsis Building Skills for All in Australia by : Collectif
Download or read book Building Skills for All in Australia written by Collectif and published by OECD. This book was released on 2017-10-07 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia’s overall performance in the Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) ranges from average to very good. However, three million adults, representing one-fifth of the working age population, have low literacy and/or numeracy skills. Building Skills for All in Australia describes the characteristics of the low-skilled and discusses the consequences that low skills have on economic and social development for both individuals and Australian society. The review examines the strengths of the Australian skills system, highlighting the strong basic skills found in the migrant population, widespread proficiency in use of ICT and the positive role of workplaces in skills development. The study explores, moreover, the challenges facing the skills system and what can be done to enhance basic skills through education, training or other workplace measures. One of a series of studies on low basic skills, the review presents new analyses of PIAAC data and concludes with a series of policy recommendations. These include: increasing participation of women in STEM fields, addressing underperformance of post-secondary VET students and preventing drop-out, improving pre-apprenticeships, enhancing mathematics provision within secondary education and tackling poor access to childcare facilities for young mothers.
