Adult Literacy Instruction: Degrees of Authenticity and Collaboration as Described by Practitioners.
Purcell-Gates, Victoria; Degener, Sophie; Jacobson, Erik
Journal of Literacy Research, v33 n4 p571-93 Dec 2001
Examines the degree to which United States adult literacy programs use materials and activities reflective of real-life literacy functions and degree to which relationships between teachers and students reflect mutuality and shared power. Finds the majority of programs involve students in literacy activities that do not reflect real-life literacy uses. Notes teacher-directed rather than collaborative relationships between teachers and students. (RS)
