Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study examines how a growth-centred approach (Srinivasan, 1992) to development assisted a group of women in Grenada to build self and group confidence, and to increase literacy. The purpose of the study was to understand how this process could help other adult educators working within a similar context to assist women learners in developing and exercising their personal, social and literacy power. The initial design of the programme was based on the needs ascribed as a result of past experiences working with women's community groups in Grenada and informal perceptions communicated by local women working within the field of women, development and adult education. This article analyses a six-month participatory study that fostered women's growth as a political act of resisting negative labels and oppressive conditions. bell hooks' (1993) words served as the motivation for the research: ‘We cannot fully create effective movements for social change if individuals struggling for that change are not self-actualized or working towards that end’ (p. 4). A ‘growth-centered’ approach, as advanced by Srinivasan (1992), is shown to be a useful starting place for personal and social transformation within Grenadian women's lives and community groups.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
