Project History
Building on NIACE's work on Developing Embedded Basic Skills (DEBS) and NRDC's work on case studies this project involves a study of embedding/integrating LLN in vocational programmes.
Aims
To compare embedded and non-embedded approaches to delivering LLN and vocational programmes in FE, to determine whether outcomes are more or less beneficial to learners, their learning experiences and achievements.
Objectives
To gather data:
| to complete student questionnaires; |
| to interview learners, teachers and programme managers; |
| to examine MIS data; |
| to observe learning where possible; |
| to analyse the data and report on qualitative and quantitative outcomes and inform judgements about effectiveness of embedded/non-embedded approaches. |
Additional Information
Research is limited to 19 FE colleges and covers curriculum areas of engineering, health and social care, hair and beauty, construction and business administration.
