?:abstract
  • This chapter describes a population of adults—those possessing low skill proficiency in literacy, numeracy, and information and computer technology (ICT)—and explores how a specific construct, readiness to learn, relates to their skill proficiency and to their use of literacy skills in everyday life and work. These ideas are discussed within the framework of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) Survey of Adult Skills (SAS), which assessed adults' skills, skill use in different contexts, and readiness to learn. The chapter reports results for low-skilled, English-speaking adults in four countries in which the relationships between readiness to learn and (a) use of literacy skills in the workplace and everyday life, and (b) skill proficiency were analyzed. Across countries, readiness to learn was significantly, positively related to low-skilled adults' skills and skills use in everyday life and the workplace. Implications for adult education and workplace training are described. (xsd:string)
