Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the implementation of technology-enhanced learning in adult literacy programs. The use of technology in education has been steadily increasing, providing new opportunities for engaging learners and enhancing teaching methodologies. Adult literacy programs play a crucial role in addressing the literacy needs of the adult population, and integrating technology can potentially improve the effectiveness of these programs. This study aims to investigate the impact of technology-enhanced learning on adult literacy outcomes, identify best practices for integrating technology in adult education settings, and assess the challenges and limitations associated with this implementation. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the research topic, highlighting the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance of the study, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. The literature review in Chapter 2 examines existing research on technology-enhanced learning in adult education, focusing on ten key areas, including the benefits of technology in education, the role of digital literacy, and the impact of technology on adult learners. Chapter 3 outlines the research methodology, detailing the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, ethical considerations, and limitations of the study. The methodology also includes a description of the population under study and the rationale for the chosen research approach. In Chapter 4, the findings of the research are discussed in detail, presenting the outcomes of the study on the implementation of technology-enhanced learning in adult literacy programs. The chapter explores the effectiveness of technology in improving adult literacy outcomes, the challenges faced during implementation, and the best practices identified through the research. Finally, Chapter 5 provides a conclusion and summary of the thesis, presenting key findings, implications for practice, recommendations for future research, and a reflection on the significance of the study. The conclusion highlights the potential of technology-enhanced learning to enhance adult literacy programs and emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and innovation in this field. Overall, this thesis contributes to the existing literature on technology-enhanced learning in adult literacy programs, offering insights into the benefits, challenges, and best practices associated with integrating technology in adult education settings. The findings of this study can inform educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in the field of adult education on strategies for leveraging technology to improve adult literacy outcomes and enhance the learning experience for adult learners.
