X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain Status: O Content-Length: 965 Lines: 26 Hi colleagues. I was reading an article this afternoon about negative coping habits of ABE readers and was stunned to see that the first issue mentioned was cheating. I've never seen that in adult programs I've worked with and wonder if I've been living in a cave. This particular program is a mandatory program, so I suspect that has something to do with the problem. The author wrote about students cheating on the TABE to escalate their evaluation scores for placement, copying from other student's papers and a couple of others that I see as plausible coping mechanisms of low-literacy readers. But cheating? I wanted to throw that out to the list and see if you have found that to be an issue in your programs. The citation is Stanfel, J.E., Strategies to overcome negative reading habits of ABE participants: A case study. Adult Basic Education. 6:3 p165, 16p Fall 1996 Thoughts?
