Enhancing Meaning In Learning: A Case Study Of Adult Developmental Mathematics,

San Francisco State University
Enhancing Meaning In Learning: A Case Study Of Adult Developmental Mathematics, Tim Glasser
Adult Education Research Conference
This case study, at the focal site of the Art Institute of San Francisco, involves a yearlong study of adult developmental mathematics courses influenced by vocational instructor feedback and meaningful learning theory. Learner surveys on learning outcomes show negative learning progress compared to a national database of similar developmental courses. This contradicts the general hypothesis that meaning in instruction and learning correlate with successful learning outcomes. It may be that due to a history of rote learning and mathematical frustration, some adult learners show signs of cognitive overload on constructivist tasks.

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate—using four U.S. based case examples—how writing and literacy education practices are connected to prisoner self-reflection, knowledge development, and re-visioning of prisoner lives. While we explore prisons as sites for literacy education, we also complicate the picture by acknowledging that education for prisoners needs to go beyond adult basic education and literacy.
