- W423157002 abstract "This dissertation aims to describe the provision of adult basic literacy education (ABLE)in Barbados and examine the extent to which ABLE provision has been guided by thegoals of participants, institutions which offered it and the government which required it.The empirical research study which constitutes the basis of the dissertation is locatedwithin the general field of adult education and the particular area of adult literacy. Thedata is related to both fields by a review of the literature on ABLE theory and practicefrom international, Caribbean and local perspectives. Focus is placed on the nature ofliteracy, as has been conveyed by definitions; and values attached to its acquisition, ashave been indicated by declarations of its potential benefits.The descriptive component of the dissertation includes profiles of participants andpractice of three ABLE programmes operating in Barbados between 1990 and 1993. Thedescriptive data was obtained from the responses of students and tutors to structuredquestionnaires and informal discussions; and from classroom observations made by theresearcher from the perspectives of both passive and participant observer. Participants'profiles include personal details; information about their motivation, beliefs, attitudes,expectations and previous learning experiences; and the outputs they claim for theprovision. The Profiles of practice cover instructional and interactive aspects of theteaching-learning process including the selection of materials, methods and strategies;type of classroom management and the nature of the relationship among participants.The evaluative component comprises an analysis of the data within a framework ofnational, institutional and personal goals, a focus informed by the importance whicheducators have attached to goal-setting in educational provision. The main findings ofthe research are that in most cases, local ABLE provision was not informed by the goalsof the three interests and that ABLE practice often appeared to be directed towardsoutputs opposed to those goals. The main conclusion is that the impetus of the ABLEprogrammes was not goals but an internal dynamic informed by local attitudes toeducation in general and beliefs about literacy in particular." @default.
