„Das hätte ich mich früher nie getraut.“ Erfolgreiches Lernen in Lebensgeschichten funktionaler Analphabeten

The author has collected self-reports of functional illiterates and questioned them on their ”joy potential”. Three qualitatively set up analyses of the 1990s serve as sources. The contribution shows that the participation in literacy courses can cause a significant increase of self-confidence by overcoming experiences of deficit. The experience of attention and support is seen as encouraging and it contributes considerably to take over responsibility for one’s own life.
