Outcomes of CASP Literacy Experiences |
In the last section of the survey,
respondents were asked to comment on a number of possible outcomes from their
experiences at CASP. Some of the questions were open-ended and the responses
have been summarized in subsequent sub-sections.
In response to the questions "How do you feel
about the way you learn at CASP?", 99% responded positively. In response to the
question "Have you changed the way you feel about yourself as a learner?": the
majority (75%) of both men and women have changed their attitude, with the
women being somewhat more positive.( See table 11). One respondent wrote that
she felt "confident, have more time, work at own pace, feel more capable, don't
feel under stress at CASP and . . . better than high school."

In response to the question "What are your
future plans with respect to your learning?", the majority, over 70 %,
indicated they would be going on to more school or training. The next most
common response (26%) was "get a job . . . find work." Thirteen percent were
uncertain and 6% reported that they now had goals for themselves where before
they had none. |
