Abstract |
The
overall aims of the Adult Basic Education seminar series were:
| • |
To
develop and disseminate an evidence-based and theoretically
informed understanding of basic education through the interdisciplinary
perspective offered by the socio-cultural/social practice theory
of basic skills acquisition. |
| • |
To
create a working forum that is a "space for action" by
bringing together policy, academic and practitioner perspectives
in a way that is difficult to achieve in other contexts. |
