Dans les pays de l’OCDE, nombreux sont les adultes en situation d’illettrisme. L’impact de ce déficit de compétences de base se fait sentir sur la situation économique, la santé, et le bien-être social des individus, des familles et de la société. Il est donc nécessaire d’investir dans ce secteur de la formation des adultes. Cette étude porte spécifiquement sur les programmes des adultes en situation d’illettrisme et met l’accent sur l’évaluation formative. Se fondant sur les données probantes issues de rapports nationaux, d’études de cas exemplaires et d’analyses d’études internationales, ce volume examine les effets et la mise en œuvre de différentes méthodes d’enseignement, d’apprentissage et d’évaluation pour ces apprenants adultes, la façon dont des programmes novateurs répondent aux multiples besoins et objectifs de ces derniers, ainsi que les actions qui soutiennent ou entravent l’efficacité de ces méthodes. L’ouvrage met en lumière les enjeux essentiels de la formation pour adultes en situation d’illettrisme et permet d’orienter les politiques, les pratiques et la recherche. Un volume complémentaire, qui portait sur l’évaluation formative dans l’enseignement secondaire, est paru en 2005 sous le titre L’évaluation formative, pour un meilleur apprentissage dans les classes secondaires.

Many adults in OECD countries have low language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skills. The consequences of these low foundation skills span the economic, health and social well-being of individuals, families and communities. Investment in this sector of adult education is therefore crucial. This study looks specifically inside the programmes for adult LLN learners, with a focus on formative assessment. Drawing upon evidence gathered in country reports, exemplary case studies and international literature reviews, it examines the impact and implementation of different teaching, learning and assessment practices for adult LLN learners; the way innovative programmes address the very diverse needs and goals of this population; and the policies that support or hinder effective practice. This book provides a strong foundation for understanding the fundamental issues at stake in the adult LLN education, and can guide future policy, practice and research. A companion report which studies formative assessment in lower secondary schools was published in 2005 under the title Formative Assessment: Improving Learning in Secondary Classrooms.

Assuming that women's empowerment would accelerate the pace of social change in rural Nepal, the World Bank urged the Nepali government to undertake a "Gender Activities Project" within an ongoing long-term water-engineering scheme. The author, an anthropologist specializing in bureaucratic organizations and gender studies, was hired to monitor the project. Analyzing her own experience as a practicing "development expert," she demonstrates that the professed goal of "women's empowerment" is a pretext for promoting economic organizational goals and the interests of local elites. She shows how a

Since the early 1990s hundreds of thousands of Tamil villagers in southern India have participated in literacy lessons, science demonstrations, and other events designed to transform them into active citizens with access to state power. These efforts to spread enlightenment among the oppressed are part of a movement known as the Arivoli Iyakkam (the Enlightenment Movement), considered to be among the most successful mass literacy movements in recent history. In The Light of Knowledge, Francis Cody’s ethnography of the Arivoli Iyakkam highlights the paradoxes inherent in such movements that seek to emancipate people through literacy when literacy is a power-laden social practice in its own right.The Light of Knowledge is set primarily in the rural district of Pudukkottai in Tamil Nadu, and it is about activism among laboring women from marginalized castes who have been particularly active as learners and volunteers in the movement. In their endeavors to remake the Tamil countryside through literacy activism, workers in the movement found that their own understanding of the politics of writing and Enlightenment was often transformed as they encountered vastly different notions of language and imaginations of social order. Indeed, while activists of the movement successfully mobilized large numbers of rural women, they did so through logics that often pushed against the very Enlightenment rationality they hoped to foster. Offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at an increasingly important area of social and political activism, The Light of Knowledge brings tools of linguistic anthropology to engage with critical social theories of the postcolonial state.
