Research Round-up
Overview
Research round-up based upon ‘REFLECT: A new approach to literacy and social change’. Regenerated Freirean Literacy through Empowering Community Techniques (REFLECT) is an approach to adult literacy programmes which borrows from Paolo Freire’s `active dialogue’ method and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques. Developed by ACTIONAID, the authors describe and assess the use of REFLECT in pilot studies in Uganda and in Bangladesh, providing very positive feedback on this learning methodology; they argue that it allows for a synthesis of empowerment and literacy, although its flexibility – whether it will work in urban areas, with refugees etc – needs to be tested.
