Contextualizing adult education: learning from six decades of experience and research
The contextualized approach to adult education encourages practitioners to integrate academic topics with real-world interests of learners, and to integrate instruction with job training and placement or health services. This brief aims to help adult literacy practitioners understand ideas that have emerged from research. It provides examples of contextualization, examines research and other supports for contextualized education, and discusses making contextualization a core principle of adult basic skills systems.
