The book provides a historical overview of adult literacy theory, policy, practice, and research from the mid-1980's to the present. The main focus is a descriptive analysis of three distinctive schools of literacy: the Freirean-based participatory literacy movement grounded in oppositional politics and grass-roots community activism; the British-based New Literacy Studies that focuses on the ways in which diverse students utilize various literacy practices in their daily lives; and the U.S. federal government's focus on functional literacy linked to a 45-year policy emphasis on workforce readi

Cet ouvrage présente des orientations pratiques sur un domaine qui ne retient l’attention des pouvoirs publics que depuis quelques années. Il réunit les principaux enseignements qui se dégagent de l’expérience de 17 pays de l’OCDE, en fournissant des informations concrètes sur les stratégies mises en œuvre pour améliorer la participation des adultes à la formation. Il s’intéresse aux problèmes susceptibles de faire obstacle à celle-ci, ainsi qu’aux mesures propres à y remédier. Ces dernières consistent entre autres à renforcer et mettre en avant les avantages que procure la formation des adultes, afin de les rendre plus visibles et plus aisément reconnaissables. Parmi les autres moyens d’action possibles figurent les incitations économiques et les mécanismes de cofinancement, qui peuvent accroître l’efficience de l’offre de formation tout en assurant des services de qualité adaptés aux besoins des adultes. Enfin, il est possible d’améliorer l’élaboration des politiques en renforçant la coordination et la cohérence dans un domaine caractérisé par une grande diversité de parties prenantes, dont font partie les ministères de l’Éducation et les ministères du Travail.

This publication provides policy guidance in an area that has been given little policy priority until recent years. It brings together key lessons from 17 OECD countries, providing evidence on the strategies in place to improve adults participation in learning. It addresses potential barriers to learning as well as the policies to remedy them. Among these are policies for increasing and promoting the benefits of adult learning to make them transparent and easily recognized. Other policy levers include economic incentives and co-financing mechanisms that can raise the efficiency of adult learning provision, while delivering quality learning that is adapted to adults needs. Finally, policy making can be improved via coordination and coherence in a field that is characterized by a wide variety of stakeholders, including ministries of education and ministries of labor.--Publisher description.
