A Review of the State of the Field in Adult Learning
The authors argue that social movements may be one of the richest sites for learning outside of the formal school system. They define social movement learning as learning by persons who are part of any social movement or learning by persons outside of a social movement as a result of the actions taken by the social movement or simply because of its existence.
The NWT Literacy Council published its first bibliography of Aboriginal books in 2006. Since that time many new works have been created by aboriginal authors, illustrators and translators. This second bibliography contains new works as well as other works not included in the first listing.
This bibliography was compiled for The Centre for Literacy’s 2004 Summer Institute: Adult Basic Education: Impact of Policy on Practice: International Perspectives.
This document is part of the Literacy and Aboriginal Peoples ‘Best Practices' Native ‘Literacy' and Learning research project, which began in September 2001. The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to provide an inventory of the written resources available in the area of Native literacy for the province of Ontario.
A Summary of Task and Skill Ratings and a Bibliography of Resources
This is a report on a project which focused on the Life Skill Literacy needs of at risk youth 16-18, who have been committed to a young offender institution and who show no evident interest in returning to traditional schooling upon release. The target population of the study was aboriginal youth, largely from remote northern communities where the traditional employment of hunting, trapping and guiding remain prevalent.
This report is about ten Canadian people who were categorized as Level 1 and Level 2 adults, according to the International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS). It talks about the types of informal learning that goes on in their lives and how they practice their literacy skills. Included is an overview of the project, ten stories or narratives about some remarkable adults who have discovered learning in their own way, and annotated bibliography.
ABC CANADA's Workplace Education Centre is pleased to be able to contribute this annotated bibliography to the workplace education field in Canada. It is intended for the use of workplace program developers and practitioners, policy planners, researchers and those who are interested in the important issues in the field.
