A synthesis of foundation learning evaluation and research in New Zealand
This synthesis provides an overview of research and evaluation information drawn from all recent New Zealand adult literacy, language and numeracy (LLN) initiatives. Commissioned by the Dept. Labour to inform the Upskilling Partnership project, which is researching approaches to engage employers in workplace literacy, language and numeracy programmes, to help raise their productivity.
The synthesis provides information and highlights the gaps that still exist in a number of aspects related to LLN initiatives. These include: employer awareness of the need for LLN, factors that help or hinder the establishment of LLN programmes, the range and quality of provision, the characteristics of and outcomes for learners, and the nature of research and evaluations conducted on LLN programmes.
