Abstract

This document was published by Alpha, a research program specializing in alternative, experimental approaches to adult basic education. It is an attempt to widen the field and examine the relationship between the micro and macro levels, between the diversity of different practices and the major policy orientations that foster or limit this diversity. Section 1 contains "A Political Review of International Literacy Meetings in Industrialized Countries, 1981-94" (Jean-Paul Hautecoeur). Section 2 presents six contributions from Central and Eastern Europe: "The Gypsy Minority in Bulgaria: Literacy Policy and Community Development (1985-95)" (Elena Marushiakova, Vesselin Popov); "Basic Education in Romania" (Florentina Anghel); "Adult Basic Education in Albania" (Andon Dede);"Andragogic Summer School: Towards Improving Literacy and Local Development" (Dusana Findeisen); "Basic Education and Community Development in Poland" (Ewa Solarczyk-Ambrokik); and "Adult Basic Education Environments from Discursive Interplay among Legislature, Economics, and Institutions" (Stanislav Hubik). Section 3 consists of five contributions from the European Union: "Keeping Alive Alternative Visions" (Mary Hamilton); "The Institutional Environment of the Struggle against Illiteracy in France" (Pierre Freynet); "30 Years of Literacy Work in Belgium: Where Has It Got Us?" (Catherine Stercq); "Skills, Schools, and Social Practices: Limits to the Basic Skills Approach in Adult Basic Education in Flanders" (Nathalie Druine, Danny Wildemeersch); and "Role of the State in Basic Adult Education: The Portuguese Example" (Maria Jose Bruno Esteves). Section 4 presents five chapters from North America: "Getting Clear about Where We Are Going: Results-Oriented Accountability as a Tool for System Reform" (Sondra G. Stein); "This is a School. 'We Want to Go to School.' Institutional Social Responsibility and Worker Education" (Sheryl Greenwood Gowen); "Facing Training and Basic Education: One Unionized Workplace Experience" (Jorge Garcia-Orgales); "Literacy, the Institutional Environment, and Democracy" (Serge Wagner); and "Making Up for Lost Time: Rescuing the Basics of Adult Education" (Enrique Pieck).

Author

Quebec Dept. of Education, Quebec. and Meublat, Guy

Abstract

This document forms part of a research project initiated by the Ministry of Education in Quebec and designed to forecast teacher demand over the next 15 years. It analyzes the problem of identifying potential teacher dropouts by means of a statistical model which provides simulations of various hypotheses and which can be easily revised by the incorporation of new data. The observation period covered the four academic years 1967/68, 1968/69, and 1970/71. Chapter one provides the framework on which the model was constructed and includes statistics for three major categories: public and private sectors; nursery, elementary, secondary, and college levels; and sex. Other variables considered include professional training, matrimonial status, age, experience, religious affiliation of school, and type of region (urban or rural). Chapter two describes the development of the model, using age as the significant variable. Chapter three sets out the results obtained from the model and their application to future plans. Data used in the research project are included in the document. (MBM)

19. 35 Secondary V Students Comment on Their Experience With C.A.I. (Preliminary Report).

Author

Quebec Dept. of Education, Quebec. Lab. of Educational Information. and Gateau, Bernard

Abstract

An instrument has been designed and used to quantify the degree of student dissatisfaction with computer-assisted instruction (CAI) experiences. The instrument, entitled PERPI-LPI, was derived from the service test Perceptions Etudiantes de la Relation Professeur-Etudiants (Student Observations on the Teacher-Student Relationship). It measures the observed experiences and the desired experiences of students on 61 dimensions of teacher-student relationships, using a five-point scale. The difference between observed and desired responses provides an indication of student dissatisfaction. The test was administered to 35 secondary students who had taken a CAI course in data processing. Results indicated that student-machine interaction needed to be made more rapid and flexible and that machine failure could be reduced. In addition, it was found that the measuring scales needed improvement and that test modules should be constructed so that it would be possible to adapt situation specific instruments to appropriate contexts.

20. Classification of the Uses of Computers in Education.

Author

Quebec Dept. of Education, Quebec. Lab. of Educational Information. and Chevalier, Guy

Abstract

A scheme which classifies the instructional applications of computers is designed to overcome the confusion created by the imprecision and equivocation associated with computer terminology. The classification is restricted to instructional applications, allows that some applications could apply to more than one category, and reflects a continuum of applications from simple to complex. Five major types of applications are postulated--laboratory tools, teaching support systems, teaching systems, learning systems, and tools for research. Laboratory tools include calculators and compilers. Teaching support systems aid the management of teaching and cover 1) teacher-oriented applications such as data banks, answer processors, statistical packages and test generators and 2) the student-oriented applications of individual testing and computer-managed instruction. Teaching systems are those in which the computer is the main support of information; drill and practice and computer-assisted tutorials are the major applications found under this rubric. Simulations and inquiry dialogues are subsumed under learning systems, while in the final category, research tools, are activities such as course and test validation and the development of learning models.

Abstract

The extent to which computers are presently used for instructional purposes is surveyed. The evaluation of computers and the more recent development of computers for education are traced. The growth of computer-assisted instruction centers and instructional computer languages is described. Computers, terminals, telecommunications, computer languages, and course programs are reviewed with respect to the equipment presently available in Canada, the United States, and France. Examples are given of the many types of computer terminals in use. Next, the classifications of computer use are illustrated by current examples. Each of the major areas of use--laboratory tool, instructional management tool, and teaching instrument--is treated separately. Finally, organizations and associations involved in the instructional use of computers are listed and described. (WH)

Author

Quebec Dept. of Education, Quebec. Lab. of Educational Information., Chevalier, Guy, and Gateau, Bernard

Abstract

The different uses of computers in education were surveyed. Three major uses were defined: as a laboratory tool, as an instructional management tool, and as a teaching instrument. As a laboratory tool the computer is used as electronic equipment, a calculator, an automaton, a simulator, and a research and development tool. Instructional management uses are divided into information banks, testing aids (answer processing, test generation, and individualized testing), and computer-managed instruction. As a teaching instrument the computer can be used for drill and practice, tutorial work, or dialog. In each use classification, the application is presented, examples are given, instructional and technical aspects discussed, and experiments cited. Volume 1 gives the classification scheme that forms the foundation for volumes 2 and 3. (WH)

Author

Quebec Dept. of Education, Quebec.

Abstract

The first section of the report (which is written in French) presents the ten recommendations of the commission which conducted the study to the Minister of Education, and the five principles on which the recommendations are based: (1) the adult's right to education, (2) the necessity of an integrated system of adult education, (3) the coordination of social, economic, and educative measures, (4) balance between collective and individual needs, and (5) decentralization. The second, longer section, is devoted to a collection of data of two orders: the results of research into diverse questions concerning education of the disadvantaged adult, and information received in conferences with directors of three types of adult education programs. This information was collected so the commission might identify the adult population termed disadvantaged, discover the educational needs of the disadvantaged adult, and evaluate existing measures designed by the educational system to meet those needs.

The purpose of this study was to contrast and compare television effects across three types of students at a high school in the Canadian Arctic--Euro-Canadian students, Inuit students resident in Frobisher Bay, and Inuit students from isolated settlements. Television had recently been introduced to the area by means of a satellite re-broadcast system with programming similar to that seen in Southern Canada. Variables considered included: (1) television availability and exposure time, (2) program preferences, (3) travel and occupational aspirations, (4) knowledge and sources of information on national and international issues, and (5) leisure time activities. Appended are the questionnaire, the code book, and tables of comparisons. (STS)

Abstract

The decade of the 1970s saw a relative decline in the enrollment in Quebec Province of students in English schools, and a relative increase in enrollment in French schools. This shift was especially reflected in a decreasing proportion of Francophone and Allophone (having neither French nor English as a native language) students attending school in English. The trend is with the adoption in Quebec of the French Language Charter. An attempt is made to gauge approximately the role of factors likely to explain the reduction in the number of students attending school in English, for both the public and private systems, within the Province. In order of importance, the factors to which the decline in enrollment can be ascribed are: (1) declining birth rate, (2) the criteria governing admissibility to English schools as defined by the French Language Charter, (3) net negative displacements, and (4) the voluntary choice of French by students otherwise eligible to attend English schools.

Abstract

The program of French as a second language required of third, fourth, and fifth year students in public and private secondary English schools in Quebec is presented. The curriculum outline begins with an introductory section describing: (1) the program's relationship to other programs; (2) background information; (3) a formal need assessment; (4) the current and desired situations; (5) priority needs; (6) the values that are to be transmitted; (7) the sociolinguistic, sociocultural, and instructional foundations of the program; (8) the program's global, general, and terminal objectives; (9) the structure of the instructional content; and (10) the teacher's guide (not included with this document). The three following sections outline the specific linguistic content of the three years curricula, in four categories: terminal objectives for oral communication, terminal listening objectives, terminal written communication objectives (reading and writing), and word lists. A section is included on approaches to student evaluation, including developmental considerations; and a bibligrophy is appended. (MSE)

Abstract

The program of French as a second language required of first and second year students in public and private secondary English schools in Quebec is presented. The curriculum outline begins with an introductory section describing: (1) the program's relationship to other required programs; (2) background information; (3) a formal needs assessment; (4) the current and desired situations; (5) priority needs; (6) the values that are to be transmitted; (7) the sociolinguistic, sociocultural, and instructional foundations of the program; (8) the program's global, general, and terminal objectives; (9) the structure of the instructional content; and (10) the teacher's guide, available as a separate document. The two following sections outline the specific linguistic content of the two year curricula, in five categories: terminal objectives for oral communication, synthesis of grammatical elements, terminal listening objectives, terminal written communication objectives (reading and writing), and word lists. A section is included on approaches to student evaluation, including developmental considerations; and a bibliography is appended. (MSE)

Abstract

A detailed curriculum outline for the state-mandated elementary school program in French as a second language for Quebec English schools is presented. Primary objectives are the development of affective values, social values, and the sense of sociocultural belonging. The curriculum was adapted from the 1972 curriculum, with more specific overall and terminal objectives and a more consistent structure from institution to institution, and with priority given to communication with emphasis on content rather than form. Reading and writing are included as additional means of communication. The outline includes: (1) an introductory and background discussion; (2) a discussion of general program orientations, including foundations, methodological considerations, the global objective, general objectives, the broad approach, the minimum core content, the role of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), and the desired level of usage at program exit; (3) a section on the organization of the program's linguistic content; (4) charts of linguistic content for the first cycle, including terminal objectives for each domain (factual information, intellectual attitudes, affective attitudes, action indicatives, and social acts) and a lexicon; (5) a similar charted linguistic content for the second cycle; (6) a discussion of student evaluation and the roles of the education ministry, school agencies, and teachers in the process; and (7) additional considerations such as scheduling, the instructor's role, instructional materials, and content enrichment. A glossary and list of references are appended. (MSE)

Abstract

The teacher's guide for the program of French as a second language required of first and second year students in all Quebec secondary English schools is presented. Following an introductory section, a section concerning the structure and objectives of the program and the organization of the content outlines the method of presentation of the objectives and content, the oral communication objectives, listening objectives, and written communication objectives. A section on pedagogical issues looks at authenticity in the classroom, the ordering of objectives and the integration of skills, variation in the beginning points of the course, variety in classroom exercises and activities, the place of grammar, attitudes toward error, the sociocultural element, and the sociolinguistic dimension in language instruction. The utility, selection, and use of authentic documents (advertising, comic strips, news items, articles, short texts, poems, sports items, weather reports, radio programs, films, and songs) are examined and illustrated in another section. Linguistic games are also examined and the techniques of dramatization, role-playing, simulation, and telephone use are discussed. Three brief sections address instructional materials, student evaluation, and specific reference materials. A bibliography and three lists of potential resource organizations are appended. (MSE)

Abstract

The teacher's guide for the required curriculum in French as a second language for all elementary English schools in Quebec is presented. An introductory section outlines the program structure, articulation with secondary level programs, the framework for presentation of the terminal objectives within the curriculum, and use of the objectives charts provided in the document. A section concerning instructional orientations discusses creating an environment conducive to learning French, practice of communication, variety in class interactions and activities, integration of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), and attitudes toward error. A section offering practical suggestions has three focuses: the ordering, grouping, and progression of objectives; different types of learning activities (exercises for training in communication, communicative tasks, games, material tasks, interviews and inquiries, discussions, role-playing, mime, sketches, and songs and stories); and instructional materials. Four sample instructional units incorporating the principles discussed in the guide are included, and a final section discusses approaches to student evaluation. A bibliography and three lists of potential resource organizations are appended. (MSE)
