Abstract: Systematic reviews of controlled trials relevant to adult literacy and numeracy, plus an 'expert' review, were undertaken by NRDC as part of its work in support of Skills for Life.The aim was to provide complementary answers to the question 'What is known from research about effective pedagogy?'The scoping and systematic reviews provide rigorouslyderived answers to the question 'What factors in teaching cause adult learners to make progress in adult literacy and numeracy?'The expert review broadened the scope to look at evidence from correlational studies and expert opinion, and to take in the evidence on using ICT to boost adults' skills, and on workplace learning.The reviews concluded that there were very few studies which provided quantitative evidence to answer these questions.
