A. The following foundation skills have been identified as essential competencies needed to meet the demands of the classroom and the world beyond. These skills apply to all students in all disciplines. These foundation skills were used throughout the development of the Louisiana Adult Education Content Standards and are embedded throughout the standards.
1. Communication. Communication is
a process by which information is exchanged and a concept of "meaning" is being
created and shared between individuals through a common system of symbols,
signs, or behavior. Students should be able to communicate clearly, fluently,
strategically, technologically, critically, and creatively in society and in a
variety of workplaces. This process can best be accomplished through use of the
following skills:
a. reading;
b. writing;
c. speaking;
d. listening;
e. viewing; and
f. visually representing.
2. Problem Solving. Problem
solving is the identifying of an obstacle or challenge and the application of
knowledge and thinking processes which include reasoning, decision making, and
inquiry in order to reach a solution using multiple pathways, even when no
routine path is apparent.
3.
Resource Access and Utilization. Resource access and utilization is the process
of identifying, locating, selecting, and using resource tools to help in
analyzing, synthesizing, and communicating information. The identification and
employment of appropriate tools, techniques, and technologies are essential to
all learning processes. These resource tools include:
a. pen;
b. pencil;
c. paper;
d. audio/video material;
e. word processors;
f. computers;
g. interactive devices;
h. telecommunication; and
i. other emerging technologies.
4. Linking and Generating
Knowledge. This is the effective use of cognitive processes to generate and
link knowledge across the disciplines and in a variety of contexts. In order to
engage in the principles of continual improvement, students must be able to
transfer and elaborate on these processes. Transfer refers to
the ability to apply a strategy or content knowledge effectively in a setting
or context other than that in which it was originally learned.
Elaboration refers to monitoring, adjusting, and expanding
strategies into other contexts.
5.
Citizenship. Citizenship involves the application of the understanding of the
ideals, rights, and responsibilities of active participation in a democratic
republic that includes:
a. working
respectfully and productively together for the benefit of the individual and
the community;
b. being accountable
for one's choices and actions and understanding their impact on oneself and
others;
c. knowing one's civil,
constitutional, and statutory rights; and
d. mentoring others to be productive citizens
and lifelong learners.
