Perceptions of Adult Literacy Learners About Themselves and Their Lives (1996)

Perceptions of Adult Literacy Learners About Themselves and Their Lives

Authors: Grace V. Malicky, Charles A. Norman

One purpose of the 3-year study reported in this paper was to understand the lives of participants in adult literacy programs in a large urban center in Canada from the perspectives of the program participants themselves. A second purpose involved asking them about perceived changes in them and in their lives as they participated in literacy programs. This information can be used to help tailor literacy programs to the adults' needs and the subjective realities of their lives.
