Old Age in English History

Past Experiences, Present Issues

By: Pat Thane

At the end of the twentieth century more people are living into their seventies, eighties, nineties and beyond, a process expected to continue well into the next millennium. The twentieth century has achieved what people in other centuries only dreamed of: many can now expect to survive to old age in reasonably good health and can remain active and independent to the end, in contrast to the high death rate, ill health and destitution which affected all ages in the past. Yet this change is generally greeted not with triumph but with alarm. It is assumed that the longer people live, the longer they are ill and dependent, thus burdening a shrinking younger generation with the cost of pensions and health care. It is also widely believed that 'the past' saw few survivors into old age and these could be supported by their families without involving the taxpayer. In this first survey of old age throughout English history, these assumptions are challenged. Vivid pictures are given of the ways in which very large numbers of older people lived often vigorous and independent lives over many centuries. The book argues that old people have always been highly visible in English communities, and concludes that as people live longer due to the benefits of the rise in living standards, far from being 'burdens' they can be valuable contributors to their family and friends.

Student Outcomes

Investigating Competency-Based Curriculum in Adult Basic Education. Research Report

By: Pat Hazell

The outcomes attained by Australian adults enrolled in competency-based Certificate in Adult Foundation Education (CAFE) courses were examined. Special attention was paid to the outcomes achieved by students in the two lowest of the CAFE program's four levels. The main data sources were as follows: literature review; enrollment data from the Technical and Further Education (TAFE) Student Information System; questionnaires circulated to all 74 TAFE colleges with students enrolled in the relevant levels of CAFE; in-depth interviews with four CAFE teachers from four TAFE colleges selected to provide a representative picture of CAFE at the lower levels in New South Wales (NSW); and interviews with three key figures involved in adult basic education (ABE) curriculum development. Although the teachers saw CAFE as resulting in a wide range of benefits for learners, their support for CAFE was by no means unanimous. CAFE was found to vary by geographic region, college size, funding, and local interpretations of the CAFE syllabus. CAFE was said to not be meeting the learning needs of all entry-level ABE students. Concern was expressed about the reduction of diversity of ABE provision in TAFE in NSW. In addition, teachers consistently expressed concern about the difficulty with appropriate placement in levels of the course, the time needed by some students to achieve their learning goals, assessment, and results. (Ten tables/figures are included. Contains 77 references.) (MN)

And Then There was One

Investigating ARIS, the Victorian Adult Education and Resource Information Service

By: Pat Hazell

The first of the four questions that the national ALNARC workplan for 2001-2002 sought to address was: What does the past tell us about adult literacy and numeracy policy, provision and research? This project provides one small answer to that question, by examining the Victorian Adult Education and Resource Information Service (ARIS), which has operated as a professional support organisation to the field of adult literacy and numeracy for more than ten years. The field of adult literacy and numeracy provision in Australia has developed and grown over the past 20 years. From a focus on student-centred learning and meeting the needs of the community, it has evolved into a multi-faceted field incorporating community, TAFE institutional and workplace provision. Through the ebbs and flows of politics and pedagogies, sites of delivery and changing practitioner perspectives, the field has needed and provided for itself, mechanisms for support. There are two mechanisms in particular that have developed: professional associations and information services. The purpose of this research was to examine ARIS as an organisation providing a support service to the literacy and numeracy field; to consider factors that influence its role, effectiveness and sustainability, in order to look ahead and consider how the ARIS experience may offer insights into ways that the support needs of the literacy and numeracy field might be met in the future.
