A Five-Minute Exploration of Power: An Awareness-Raising Activity for People Working with Adult Literacy Clients.
Bates, Susan
Good Practice in Australian Adult Literacy and Basic Education, n25 p3-4 Dec 1994
Staff working with adult literacy clients take a six-step exploration of power: (1) defining power as degree of choice available; (2) identifying factors enabling choice; (3) examining schools' role in reproducing social relations; (4) comparing social status; (5) depicting participants' place on the power differential continuum; and (6) recognizing the effect of power differentials in the learning environment.
