iRead4Skills - Reading skills survey

Deliverable within Work Package 2 - Skills survey: needs, skills, and gaps of the iRead4Skills project, aiming at gathering specific information on the needs, skills and skills gaps related to reading difficulties and literacy skills of the target population - adult learners and trainers in Adult Learning (AL) and Vocational Educational Training (VET) training centres, it was necessary to collect specific information on the needs related to reading difficulties and literacy skills to inform further data collection and treatment.

The achievement of these goals requires the direct engagement of in-the-field, stakeholders and end-users, achieved through the specially designed surveys, namely a new Reading Skills survey.

This survey consists in a qualitative and a quantitative survey of training centres, on people who are following AL and VET courses or that act as trainers, designed with the participation of the in-the-field partners and others with knowledge on reading skills and adult learning, to assure that the survey covers the specific information required for the subsequent work packages (i.e., text genres, domains, cultural and scientific expectations, etc.).
