This issue features: * The findings from the NCSALL research on Adult Development by Robert Kegan, Eleanor Drago-Severson, Kathryn Portnow, Nancy Popp, Deborah Helsing, and Maria Broderick. NIFL-4EFFers: While the findings for all these research questions are not presented in this issue of FOB, the questions that guided the research group's investigation are relevant to this discussion group and the EFF initiative: 1. How does developmental level (i.e., way of knowing) shape adults' experiences and definitions of the core roles they take on as learners, parents, and workers? 2. How do adult learners' ways of knowing shape their experience and definition of programs dedicated to increasing their role competence? 3. What educational practices and processes contribute to changes in the learner's relationship to learning (vis-à-vis motive, efficacy, and meaning system) and specifically to any reconceptualization of core roles? 4. To what extent does the level of people's development or transformation predict their success or competence? This issue of FOB also features: * An interview with teachers Sylvia Greene and Matthew Puma about what it was like to participate in the adult development research. * An overview of four theories of adult development and how they relate to the adult basic education classroom by Lisa Baumgartner. * A peek into a classroom where Carol Eades teaches for transformation. * Insight into the impact of TV411 by Debby D'Amico and Mary Ann Capehart. * How TV411 supports adult development by Earle Reybold. * How career and technical education supports adult development in program in Rhode Island by Lynne M. Bedard. Check it out! The NCSALL web site and FOB are at: <http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu>. Scroll down and click on Newest Issue of Focus on Basics, or click on Publications, then Focus on Basics.
