The Behavior Analysis has been conducting studies which focus on procedures to teach the most different repertoires. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a teaching program of reading and writing sentences for young people and adults. The programming was based on the model of Stimulus Equivalence and had sentences as a teaching unit, and was applied with the aid of JClic software. Six stages were proposed: Preliminary Repertory Evaluation (IAL-I and IAL-IN), Pre-Test, Training, Emergency Test, Generalization Test and Post-Test. The stimuli were: A (sentence dictated), B (scenes), C (printed sentences). The operants evaluated were: D (oral reading of sentences), E (construction of words and sentences) and F (handwriting of sentences). The sentences contained words formed by vowel-consonant (VC); consonant-consonant-vowel (CCV); consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC). Five EJA (Educação de Jovens e Adultos) students from two different schools participated. In the Previous Repertoire Evaluation and the Pre-Test it was verified that the participants had more difficulty in writing than in reading. After the Training, the Tests indicated that the reading repertoire remained, although with improvement in quality, and the writing repertoire of all participants had improved. The results indicated that the teaching proposal, sustained on teaching units and based on the model of Stimulus Equivalence, has the potential to be used to improve the repertoires of young people and adults / É evidente que a quantidade de brasileiros que ainda não têm a Educação como um de seus direitos básicos assegurados exige de nós, pesquisadores da Educação, ações voltadas a esse segmento da população. A Análise do Comportamento vem fazendo estudos que focalizam procedimentos para ensinar os mais diferentes repertórios. O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar os efeitos de uma programação de ensino de leitura e escrita de orações para jovens e adultos. A programação teve por base o modelo de equivalência de estímulos e a oração como unidade de ensino, tendo sido aplicada com o auxílio do software JClic. Foram propostas seis etapas: Avaliação do Repertório Prévio (IAL-I e IAL-IN), Pré-Teste, Treino, Teste de Emergência, Teste de Generalização e Pós-Teste. Os estímulos foram: A (oração ditada), B (cenas), C (orações impressas). Os operantes avaliados foram: D (leitura oral de orações), E (construção de palavras e orações) e F (escrita manuscrita de orações). As orações continham palavras compostas por consoante-vogal (CV); consoante-consoante-vogal (CCV); consoante-vogal-consoante (CVC). Participaram cinco alunos de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) de duas escolas. Na Avaliação do Repertório Prévio e do Pré-Teste verificou-se que os participantes apresentavam mais dificuldade na escrita do que na leitura. Após o Treino, os Testes indicaram que o repertório de leitura se manteve, mas com melhora na qualidade, tendo sido aperfeiçoado o repertório de escrita de todos os participantes. Os resultados indicaram que a proposta de ensino, tendo por unidade de ensino orações e com base do modelo de equivalência de estímulos, tem potencial para ser usada no aprimoramento de repertórios de jovens e adultos

The content of books published for adult beginner readers reveals as much about how literacy is understood and valued as it does about how literacy learners are viewed and constructed. This research consists of a description and analysis of the corpus of easy readers or stories published specifically for adult beginner readers in South Africa from 1990 to 2000. It is based on the assumption that texts can be used as evidence of the educational theories which underpin and inform them. The research consist of three parts: the development of analytical tools; a broad descriptive review of books published in all South Africa's official languages; a detailed content analysis of English books. The analytical tools are derived from research into children's literature, dominant conceptions of the meanings and purposes of adult literacy and research into gender and language. The corpus of books is examined in terms of literary quality, pedagogy and ideology. 120 books published in all South African languages are analysed according to various criteria relating to genre, theme, setting and design. The 38 English books in the sample are, in addition, analysed in depth in relation to plot, narrative features, character, emotions, direct speech, gender, imagery and readability. The research reveals that unlike fiction for children beginner readers, fiction for adult beginner readers in South Africa is relatively restricted in terms of genre, theme and literary quality in general. While a significant number of stories conform to conventional notions of what constitutes good fiction, many others are simply overdetermined vehicles for "development" messages - non-fiction masquerading as fiction. Despite the presence of a surprising number of humorous titles, many of the books are characterised by overtly moralising and didactic themes.The majority of the books do not substantially challenge stereotypes. The readership is generally portrayed as docile, predictable, hard-working, decent and stoical. Male characters tend to be more varied and complex and female characters conform to their stereotypical roles. Stories are mostly set in domestic, racially homogeneous domains populated by poor African people. Although there are notable exceptions to the above trends, the stories generally depict an uncontested, harmonious, homogeneous and docile world. In terms of issues relating to pedagogy the corpus reveals an overwhelming dominance of English second language books. This suggests that literacy acquisition in mother tongue African languages is not a serious endeavour in the current South African context. In terms of readability features, aside from surface similarities, there are wide discrepancies between publishers. Books are mainly written in naturally occurring language and do not appear to be written with predictability or decodability features particularly in mind. The analysis overall illustrates the complex nature of fiction for adult beginner readers which has to meet the simultaneous demands of readability and engagement. The corpus of books for adult beginner readers reflects competing conceptions of the purposes of promoting adult literacy: functionality, immediate application and relevance versus long-term development of reading through the evocation of emotion and imagination. / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2003.

This was a comparative study of FAL and REFLECT'S adult literacy facilitator training processes in Uganda. It was based on the government's Functional Adult Literacy (FAL) programme, and Action Aid Uganda's (AAU) REFLECT Programmes.The purpose of this study was to: Find out the similarities and differences between the FAL and REFLECT facilitator training process. Establish how FAL and REFLECT facilitator training is organised. Establish how FAL and REFLECT facilitators are selected for training. Identify the teaching and learning materials used for training FAL and REFLECT literacy facilitators. Find out how the trained facilitators of FAL and REFLECT feel about the training and the approach they have been trained to use. Establish the kind of post training support arrangements provided for the trained adult literacy facilitators under FAL and REFLECT. These issues were all raised in the form of research questions and answered by the study. A qualitative research study was used to address the research questions. This included the use of focus group discussions, key informant interviews, questionnaires, direct observation and documentary analysis. The findings of this study are presented in chapter four under various headings applicable to both FAL and REFLECT. These are: the ideological view of literacy, selection of trainees and trainers, the training programmes, the training materials, funding for the training, employment arrangements after training, post training support arrangements, and evaluation of the training programme. From the findings, a general conclusion was drawn that the training processes of FAL and REFLECT were similar in the areas of organisation of the training programmes, selection of trainees, the sources of funding for the training programmes, deployment of trainees and evaluation of the training. Differences were found in the ideology which informs the two literacy approaches and therefore the training programmes for the literacy facilitators, the training methods and materials used and the post training support arrangements made for the trained literacy facilitators. The study concludes that the FAL and REFLECT literacy facilitator training is different. REFLECT has a better approach to training their literacy facilitators than FAL, although both approaches have many areas which should be improved for better training of their literacy facilitators. It was also noted that the differences between FAL and REFLECT occur in areas which are crucial for the success of a training programme and the performance of the trainees. This could explain the difference in the performance and effectiveness of the programmes using the two approaches. The recommendations call for serious attention to be given to the training of adult literacy facilitators to ensure that only qualified people are entrusted with the work of teaching adult literacy. / Thesis (M.Ed.) - University of Natal, Durban, 2002.

The study investigates the use of the Asifunde! materials by educators and learners in mother tongue literacy classes at two learning sites namely, Msunduzi and uMngeni Municipalities located in KwaZulu-Natal. The study focuses on the ways in which the Asifunde! Materials (learners' workbook, educators guide and easy readers) are used in the classroom. The study contributes to a gap in current literature on the use of materials by adult educators and learners. The study poses one critical question: "How do educators and learners in ABE classes use the Asifunde! materials?" This question is further elaborated into six subquestions: • Do educators mediate the content? If so, how? • How much time do educators spend on each section/page/unit? • To what extent do educators discuss the content and exercises with learners? • What is the learners' response (interest/extent of engagement/amount of discussion and enjoyment)? • How does the level of the material match the learners' needs? • How much communication is there between learners about the content of the material? Asifunde! materials were developed in response to call of the then Minister of Education Kader Asmal for a National Literacy Campaign in 1999. The Asifunde! material is a literacy course developed specifically for adults who have not had educational opportunities in the past. Its emphasis is on reading and writing mother tongue as well as on the implementation of these skills. The study is on literacy and literacy learning, which is understood here as the study of reading and writing processes that learners use as they engage in interpreting text Topics such as: literacy acquisition; purposes of literacy; the role of materials in acquisition of literacy; approaches to teaching reading and writing; and the educator as mediator of learning, are explored in the literature review as they are pertinent to the study. The study revealed that: 1. The use of the learner's book and the educator's guide varies between educators. 2. The educators do not fully understand the educational rationale behind the materials. 3. Learners respond positively to the materials. 4. There is very little use of the easy readers by both the educators and the learners. 5. Learners' learning and progress is largely influenced by the educator's use of the materials. 6. The learners are very excited about learning to read English now that they are competent in reading and writing their mother tongue. The study presents the following recommendations: 1. Training of educators in the use of the material. 2. The revision of the educator's guide to accommodate a range of educators in terms of experience and creativity. 3. Clarification of the focus and purpose of the materials regarding reading and writing. 4. Emphasis on the importance of the easy readers. 5. Inclusion of longer writing exercises towards the end of the book. / Thesis (M.Ed.) - University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2004.

The purpose of this enquiry was to explore reading development experiences of adult learners learning English Level 4. The research focused on their early reading experiences and the development of their reading experiences over the years and particularly in the present classes. The research site was an Adult Literacy Centre at a school in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. The study was conducted within a qualitative interpretive paradigm, using a case study approach. Data collection techniques employed included personal interviews, observations and a focus group interview. The data collection instruments used was: interview schedules, observation checklists and audio visual aids. Data was analysed thematically. In exploring the participants’ lived experiences in the development of reading; this study drew on the Landscape Model of reading by David Rapp and Paul van den Broek, as well as Vygotsky’s social constructivism. The themes that emerged from the study were: reading development in Adult Basic Education (ABE) level 4 classes in relation to achieving the learners’ goals, reading development in ABE level 4 classes in relation to achieving the goals of the curriculum, motivation to read, reading and family life, reading and life in general, learners’ difficulties in expressing themselves, language gaps as a barrier to learning in the second language and finally, the functioning of and challenges faced at adult literacy centres. The main reasons for adult literacy centres not being fully functional were: a lack of learning, teaching and support material due to insufficient funds, some educators are not qualified or lacked the skills to teach reading and writing, goals of the curriculum are too academic, the distances that learners have to travel to the centres are too long and the times of the classes are not always suitable to the learners, especially if they are employed. Finally, the study presented recommendations to improve the functionality at adult literacy centres, to enable learners to gain maximum benefit. Recommendations were made for further research. / Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermartizburg, 2013.

What conceptions and practices of reading, language and teaching do emerge from the discourses present in these narratives? What are the conceptions of reading and the practices adopted by teachers in the proposed guidelines for the study of texts? In order to answer the guiding questions, the following objectives were delineated: Main Objective: To investigate the conceptions and practices of reading, discursively constructed, in the reports of life and formation of the instructor-learner to develop the teaching of reading. Specific: 1) To analyze and characterize, from the observations of classes, the conceptions and strategies of reading adopted by the instructor-learner in the directions for the study of texts; 2) Reflect about discourses produced in the narratives of life and formation, verifying what they interpret about the conceptions and strategies of reading adopted in the daily life of reading orientations; 3) To verify the relationship between the discourses, theoretically constructed by the instructor-learner about their stories of life and reading, and the discourses constructed in the classroom practice; 4) To identify how the story of life and formation influenced the history of reading and teaching of reading performed by the instructor-learners researched; 5) Propose, from the assumptions of Linguistic Education, reflections on more productive referrals to work with some textual genres during pedagogical workshops. A narrative research was developed, with qualitative approach, dialoguing with authors such as Ferrarotti (1988), Clandinin and Connelly (2011), Suárez (2008), Josso (2004, 2010), among others. These authors suggest that the narrative centered on the formative pathways makes it possible to enhance the formative character of this process. For the accomplishment of the research, three instructor-learners of schools of 4º cycle of EJA from Parnaíba-PI collaborated. In order to achieve the objectives sought in the research we made classes observations of the participants during three months. Subsequently, we proceeded to the production of oral narratives in order to provide an unveiling of the occult of their discourse, how was constituted their history of life, reading and formation. The data produced from these first two stages of the research were analyzed in the light of the theoretical reference of the formative experiences and the narratives, besides the framework of the Linguistic Education. The narratives revealed that there is a close relation between the discourses produced for the teaching of reading and the experiences of family contexts, schooling and formation. The third stage of the research consisted of three pedagogical workshops (CANDAU, 1995), active methodology modality (PALMA, 2016; BERBEL, 2011), carried out during the interactive meetings. At the end of the workshops, which involved exchanges of experiences and theoretical studies, which were previously available, it was possible to realize, in the speeches produced by the instructor-learners, the theoretical-methodological collaboration brought by the pedagogical resource / O objeto de estudo desta pesquisa são os processos formativos do aprendente-ensinante de leitura da EJA revelados a partir de suas narrativas orais de vida e de formação, motivada pelas seguintes questões-norteadoras: Como se dá o ensino de leitura na perspectiva dos discursos produzidos por meio dos relatos de vida e de formação de ensinantes-aprendentes de EJA de escolas públicas municipais de Parnaíba-PI? Que concepções e práticas de leitura, de linguagem e de ensino emergem dos discursos presentes nessas narrativas? Quais são as concepções de leitura e as práticas adotadas pelos professores nos encaminhamentos propostos para o estudo dos textos? Para responder às questões norteadoras, foram traçados os seguintes objetivos: Geral: Investigar as concepções e práticas de leitura, discursivamente construídas, nos relatos de vida e de formação do ensinante-aprendente para desenvolver o ensino de leitura. Específicos: 1) Analisar e caracterizar, a partir das observações das aulas, as concepções e estratégias de leitura adotadas pelo aprendente-ensinante nos encaminhamentos para o estudo dos textos; 2) Refletir sobre os discursos produzidos nas narrativas de vida e de formação, verificando os que eles traduzem sobre as concepções e estratégias de leitura adotadas no cotidiano de orientações leitoras; 3) Averiguar a relação entre os discursos, teoricamente construídos pelos ensinantes-aprendentes sobre suas histórias de vida e de leitura, e os discursos construídos na prática em sala de aula; 4) Identificar como a história de vida e a de formação influenciam a história de leitura e ensino de leitura realizadas pelos ensinantes-aprendentes pesquisados; 5) Propor, a partir dos pressupostos da Educação Linguística, reflexões sobre encaminhamentos mais produtivos para o trabalho com alguns gêneros textuais durante as oficinas pedagógicas. Foi realizada uma pesquisa narrativa, com abordagem qualitativa, dialogando com autores como Ferrarotti (1988), Clandinin e Connelly (2011), Suárez (2008), Josso (2004, 2010), entre outros. Esses autores defendem que a narrativa centrada nos percursos formativos possibilita potencializar o caráter formador deste processo. Para a realização da pesquisa, colaboraram três ensinantes-aprendentes de escolas de 4º ciclo de EJA do município de Parnaíba-PI. Para alcançar os objetivos pretendidos na pesquisa, foram realizadas observações das aulas das participantes por três meses. Posteriormente, procedemos à produção das narrativas orais a fim de prover um desvelamento do oculto do discurso delas, como foi constituída a sua história de vida, a de leitura e a de formação. Os dados produzidos a partir dessas duas primeiras etapas da pesquisa foram analisados à luz do referencial teórico das experiências formadoras e das narrativas, além do arcabouço da Educação Linguística. As narrativas revelaram que há estreita relação entre os discursos produzidos para o ensino de leitura realizado e as experiências advindas dos contextos familiares, de escolarização e de formação. A terceira etapa da pesquisa consistiu na realização de três oficinas pedagógicas (CANDAU, 1995), modalidade de metodologia ativa (PALMA, 2016; BERBEL, 2011), realizadas durante os encontros interativos. Ao final das oficinas, que envolviam trocas de experiências e estudos teóricos, os quais foram previamente disponibilizados, foi possível perceber, nos discursos produzidos pelos ensinantes-aprendentes, a colaboração teórico-metodológica trazida pelo recurso pedagógico
