Why RAMAA Is Important for Literacy: Testimonies From Participating Countries; Action Research on Measuring Literacy Programme Participants’ Learning Outcomes (RAMAA) Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) The RAMAA action research, launched at the initiative of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), and piloted in partnership with local UNESCO offices, responds to this vital need to assess the quality of literacy programmes by taking the learning effectively acquired by the beneficiaries at the end of their training as an objective variable.The first phase of RAMAA involved five countries, now twelve countries are participating in the second phase of RAMAA – Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Morocco, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Chad and Togo. The countries’ commitment throughout the implementation of the second phase of RAMAA and the integration of the results into the national systems are key to the project. Pourquoi la RAMAA est importante pour le secteur de l'alphabétisation: Témoignages des pays; Recherche-action sur la mesure des apprentissages des bénéficiaires des programmes d'alphabétisation (RAMAA) Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) La Recherche-action RAMAA, lancée à l’initiative de l’Institut de l’UNESCO pour l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie (UIL), et pilotée en partenariat avec les bureaux UNESCO répond à ce besoin vital d’évaluer la qualité des programmes d’alphabétisation en prenant comme variable objective les apprentissages réellement acquis par les bénéficiaires à la sortie de leur formation.La première phase de la RAMAA comptait cinq pays, douze pays sont désormais engagés dans la deuxième phase de la RAMAA - Bénin, Burkina Faso, Cameroun, Côte d’Ivoire, République centrafricaine, République démocratique du Congo, Maroc, Mali, Niger, Sénégal, Tchad et Togo.

UNESCO COVID-19 Education Response: Open and Distance Learning to Support Youth and Adult Learning (Education Sector Issue Note; No. 2.5 – June 2020) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) A new UNESCO issue note, produced by the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), aims to support education policy-makers and planners in ensuring open and distance learning to support youth and adult learning in the context of the current pandemic, now and in its aftermath.Since the COVID-19 outbreak and the worldwide school closures that followed, ministries of education have endeavoured to ensure continuity of learning and encourage schools and educational institutions to explore and utilize online and distance modes of learning. Unfortunately, learners outside of the formal school system who are already in need of urgent learning support, such as low-skilled adults, women, out-of-school youth, migrants and refugees, and persons with disabilities, have suffered disproportionally from the suspension of face-to-face learning at the majority of adult learning centres and non-formal educational institutions.The current pandemic calls for people from people from all socio-economic backgrounds, wherever they live in the world, to develop new knowledge and skills in order to cope with the uncertainty that this crisis imposes. These learning needs include basic health literacy, media literacy, parenting for home-schooling children and professional development to counteract job losses brought on by the pandemic. Correspondingly, enrolment in massive open online courses (MOOCs) is soaring. As such, there have been positive and demand-driven trends in exploring alternative options, such as open and distance learning (ODL), to ensure the continuity and expansion of non-formal education and adult learning.This issue note takes stock of opportunities and challenges in using ODL, both online and offline as defined in the UNESCO Issue Note on Distance Learning Strategies, for youth and adult learners outside the formal education system. After examining key issues and illustrating promising cases from public and private sectors, it provides key messages for policy interventions to support inclusive lifelong learning for youth and adults during and after the current pandemic.UNESCO Education Sector’s issue notes cover key topics related to the COVID-19 education response.

Analysis of the 2015 Revised Korean Languages Curriculum in Terms of the OECD Education 2030 Competencies (Journal of Curriculum and Evaluation; Vol. 23. No. 3) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Jongyun Kim | Hyounjin Ok | Jaeyoon Cho Corporate author: Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE) The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the Korean language curriculum through curriculum content mapping (CCM) in the OECD Education 2030 project, which is later compared with the international curricular of the national languages. The CCM framework consists of a “competency code” that presents OECD competencies and a “content code” that contains the content of the curriculum. In this study, the degree of the competencies in the Korean language curriculum is analyzed and compared with the international curricular in terms of the OECD perspective. The result is analyzed as follows. First, foundational literacies of Korean were similar to the international national language curricular. Second, in the competencies of skills, attitudes and values, “problem-solving” and “learning about learning” were higher in the Korean language curriculum than the OECD average, “critic thinking” was similar to, and “persistence” was lower than the OECD average. Third, in terms of key concepts, both “student agency” and “co-agency” were higher in the Korean language curriculum. Fourth, “creating values” and “solving dilemmas” in terms of the degree of reflection of CCM framework competency related to transformational competencies, the Korean Language was higher than the average of OECD member countries in terms of “creating new values” and “resolving tensions and dilemmas” were higher but “taking responsibilities” were lower than the OECD countries. Fifth, the competencies in the compound literacies were also compared. These comparison results provide as reference materials that describes the suitability of the Korean language curriculum and contributes to future revisions of the Korean language curriculum for the students in 2030s. 2015 개정 국어과 교육과정의 OECD Education 2030 역량 반영 양상 분석 (교육과정평가연구; Vol. 23, No. 3) Year of publication: 2020 Author: 김종윤 | 옥현진 | 조재윤 Corporate author: 한국교육과정평가원 본 연구는 2015 개정 국어과 교육과정과 OECD가 새롭게 제안한 Education 2030 역량틀을 비교하는 교육과정 매핑(curriculum mapping)을 통해 우리 국어과 교육과정의 특성을 분석하고, OECD Education 2030 프로젝트로부터 향후 국어과 교육과정의 설계 및 실행을 위한 시사점을 파악하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 OECD 교육과정 내용 매핑(CCM) 프레임워크에 반영된 국어과와 OECD 참여국의 자국어 교과의 역량 반영 정도를 비교하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기초 소양은 국어과와 OECD 2030 역량 반영 정도가 유사하였다. 둘째, 기능, 태도, 가치 중 국어과는 ‘문제해결력’과 ‘학습에 대한 학습’에서는 OECD 참여국 평균보다 높으나, ‘비판적 사고’는 유사하게, ‘끈기/회복력’은 OECD 참여국 평균보다 낮게 나타났다. 셋째, 주요 개념 측면에서 국어과는 ‘학생 주도성’과 ‘협력적 주도성’에서 모두 OECD 참여국 평균보다 높았다. 넷째, 변혁적 역량에서 국어과는 ‘새로운 가치 창조하기’와 ‘긴장과 딜레마 해소하기’에서는 OECD 참여국 평균보다 높으나 ‘책임감 가지기’는 낮게 나타났다. 다섯째, 복합 소양 반영 정도에서 국어과는 ‘미디어 리터러시, 컴퓨팅 사고력/프로그래밍/코딩’에서 OECD 참여국 평균보다 높게 나타났으나, ‘기업가 정신, 금융 소양, 글로벌 역량, 지속 가능한 발전을 위한 소양’은 OECD 참여국 평균보다 낮았다. 이러한 비교는 추후 국어과 적용(활용)의 적합성과 정합성을 검토할 근거 자료, 현장교사들의 교육과정 재구성의 타당성 근거, 타 교과와의 융합 교육을 실시할 때의 근거, 교육과정을 개정할 때 추구하는 인재상, 핵심역량, 목표와 내용(성취기준) 등을 구체화하여 문서화하는 참고 자료가 된다는 점에서 시사하는 바가 있다.

Guidelines on Open and Distance Learning for Youth and Adult Literacy Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) | Commonwealth of Learning Guidelines on open and distance learning for youth and adult literacy addresses a gap in literacy provision by presenting open and distance learning (ODL) principles and practices to illustrate how learning and education can be delivered at a distance.This publication is divided into two main parts. Part 1 presents practical guidance in four areas—planning, development, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation—and part 2 considers the various technologies that are used for ODL programmes and could support youth and adult literacy learning.Policy-makers, literacy providers and educators will benefit from understanding and applying the concept and principles of ODL in designing and delivering effective, inclusive and sustainable literacy programmes and learning opportunities— strengthening the resilience of their literacy programmes and expanding outreach and participation in the process.
