One of the central goals in literacy and adult basic education is to avoid drop-out. This is because participation in basic education programmes can demonstrably promote social participation for their target groups. Consequently, a number of (inter)national political organisations have launched programmes to strengthen literacy and adult basic education in various fields such as policies, practice and research. Regarding research on literacy and adult basic education, participation behaviour has been increasingly examined. Remarkably little attention has been paid to researching the factors that prevent low-literacy people from completing these programmes once they are in the course. The article takes this as an opportunity to examine the reasons of drop-out in the field. Based on interviews with trainers in literacy and adult basic education (n = 13), central reasons for drop-out are identified and characterised along individual, life-contextual and institutional factors.... view less

Eines der zentralen Ziele im Bereich der Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung ist die Vermeidung von Kursabbrüchen (Drop-out), da ihre Teilnahme nachweislich gesellschaftliche Partizipation für ihre Zielgruppen fördern kann. (Inter)nationale politische Organisationen haben aus diesem Grund Programme zur Förderung von Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung in Feldern wie Politik, Praxis und Forschung etabliert. Im Fokus der Forschung stehen in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere Fragen von Zielgruppenakquise und Teilnahme, während teilnahmeverhindernde Faktoren von gering literalisierten Erwachsenen bedeutend wenig erforscht werden. Im Beitrag wird dieses Desiderat zum Anlass genommen, um Ursachen für Kursabbrüche im Feld der Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung herauszuarbeiten. Als Datengrundlage dafür dienen Expert:inneninterviews mit Dozierenden, die im Feld tätig sind (n = 13). Zentrale Ursachen für Drop-out werden so aus Perspektive von Kursleitenden identifiziert und entlang individueller, lebenskontextueller und institutioneller Faktoren charakterisiert.... view less
