  • (standard) final goals
  • Students can compute the circumference and
    surface area of a circle
  • Students understand the concept promille ()
  • Students can read, note down and compute the
    square root of natural numbers.
  • key competencies
  • Students can solve a maths problem by switching
    from a specific real-life situation to a
    mathematical design and vice versa
  • Students can assess their results and
    performances and will use alternative learning
    strategies to improve their learning and
    achievement.

7
Adult basic education module BEWIS 07
  • (optional) final goals specific professional
    demands
  • Students understand the concepts random
    surveys, sample size, frequencies and know how
    to construct a histogram
  • Students can draw a curve
  • While drawing or computing angles and distances,
    students use the Pythagorean theorem and the
    geometric proportions in right-angled triangles
  • Etc.

Theme 1 empowering learners and Communities
  • What are the most important learning and personal
    outcomes in meeting goals for empowerment of
    individual learners? Do instructors use formative
    assessment as a deliberate strategy in working
    towards these outcomes?

13
Outcomes embedded in the centres for basic
educations assignment
  • address students personal (educational)
    deficits and needs
  • improve students self-reliance
  • improve students employability
  • improve students educational skills.

? Learn students the basic knowledge, skills and
attitudes necessary to fully participate in
society or to follow further education
14
2000 208 adult basic education (ex-)students
were questioned their experiences with adult
basic education
Results outcomes of adult basic education
  • 73 agreed adult basic education met his/her
    (educational) needs
  • 55 reported large or very large benefits
    self-reliance and life skills
  • less than 50 reported effects on their work
    situation
  • 30 considered adult basic education had effect
    on his/her educational skills or attitude towards
    life long learning.

15
2000 inspection of 6 centres for adult basic
education
Results outcomes of their education
The centres perfectly respond to their students
personal (educational) needs and focus on the
improvement of their students coping abilities
and self-image. On the other hand, they dont
sufficiently stimulate their students
professional employability or his/her educational
skills and attitudes towards lifelong learning.
