Technical Literacy Versus Critical Literacy in Adult Basic Education.

Fueyo, Judith Macdonald

Journal of Education, v170 n1 p107-18 1988

Literacy education is modeled along a continuum moving from a technical conception of literacy to a conception of literacy as praxis, or critical literacy. These competing models are contrasted, and special emphasis is given to one adult basic literacy organization that is managing to humanize the process. (Author/BJV)
