Stärken zweier Leitstudien für die Weiterbildung: PIAAC und leo. – Level-One Studie im Vergleich

The latest PIAAC-results confirm from an international perspective the alarming data of the leo. – Level One Study published in 2011 in which 14,5 percent of the German population capable of work could be identified as functionally illiterate. Both studies have an immense impact on political discussions concerning basis education. To point out the strength of both studies for the field of adult education, there will be a brief summary and tabular comparison concerning the research design of both studies. Thereafter we will compare the data in respect to the aspect of participation in adult education. It is not so much the comparability but the complementarity of the studies that are to be clarified by this approach.
