Problem Statement

This year is my first year working in the adult training program. The program was developed by the Ministry of Education and implemented in schools around the country.

The course is integrated in the government´s plan to bring the Portuguese populations’ minimum education level up to twelfth grade.

"The RVCC system has addressed the need for qualification of adults who, having no opportunity to achieve and complete cycles of general school-level, yet having a wide life experience in different fields of action, could recognize and certify their key skills through RVCC processes in appropriate settings working with technical specialists". (1)

In this course the students need to work with information technology as well as search for the information required.

I plan to determine the effectiveness of these adult training programs which integrate technology.
Who: students
What: effectiveness of adult training using technology
Why: extend knowledge in various areas including information technology and certify skills.

I have reoriented my problem statement so that it would be easier for me to do my research for this course because of the lack of research literature for my previous problem statement.
