Between PIAAC and the New Literacy Studies Kartoniert (TB)

With this book we present a selection of articles that critically deal with (internationally comparative) large-scale assessments. We acknowledge that studies such as PIAAC are often designed financed and implemented on the basis of neo-liberal worldviews. Nevertheless we would like to use the articles that are presented here to show the various ways in which adult and continuing education can benefit and learn from the knowledge that they generate. This book features eleven articles which - with the NLS's theoretical considerations and points of criticism in mind - find new and alternative evaluations and interpretations of the data.
