{"title":"A Review of Program Inquiry for Refugee Adult Education in the United States","authors":"Christine Liboon","doi":"10.5070/d418161507","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5070/d418161507","url":null,"abstract":"According to the UN Refugee Agency's annual Global Trends Report, 68.5 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide as of June 2018. This humanitarian crisis raises the question of responsibility on host countries to address the dire need for education access. Questions around how existing adult refugee educational programs should be evaluated remain relatively unexplored. The purpose of this review is to examine existing bodies of academic literature on how evaluation is applied in adult educational programming for refugees within community organizations and how programs utilize evaluation to improve their effectiveness in serving adult refugee populations in the United States. This literature review explores two questions: (1) how is evaluation structured in practice in nonformal educational programs for refugee young adults and adults in the United States? (2) What outcomes typically follow the implementation of evaluation within these programs (i.e. does evaluation influence the effectiveness and accessibility of adult educational programming, such as by providing educational and vocational training?). Considerations which emerged from this review include utilizing theory knitting in evaluation to reduce theoretical segregation and accumulate additional theory that may be present within the current literature. Exploring socio-cultural capital frameworks such as Yosso’s Community Cultural Wealth can further categorize and investigate additional experiences based on specific ethnicities in emerging literature within refugee integration in a country of resettlement in addition to Ager and Strang’s Understanding Integration Framework. Lastly, to better identify the approaches on use of evaluation within the scope of nonformal adult educational settings for adult refugees, expanding Alkin & Christie’s Evaluation Theory Tree to include international perspectives from the development sector should be considered.","PeriodicalId":73404,"journal":{"name":"Interactions (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135671149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In turn, these GANs will make a study of the pixel arrangements of those natural patterns, assign them coordinates and weights, and then reconstruct these clusters and patterns into new, unseen compositions. The aesthetic value of this output as photography is questionable. The output of these GANs is to produce endless variations of the dataset—in other words, to produce even more of these 5,000 images. The practice is instead a form of artistic research, a way of bringing the affordances of GANs into embodiment through my motions: scanning the landscapes, moving my body toward whatever dataset I am trying to construct. It is the act of constructing this dataset through a blend of artistic eye and mechanical detachment that forms the true body of the work. As a result of this practice, my vision as a photographer has shifted. The rules of photographic composition are pointless to an AI eye. Just as the camera and norms of photography The camera began to train photographers in 1816. Photography developed a set of rules, and a photographer may follow those rules when scouring the landscape for images, or else work with the camera to produce new ways of recording the world. Through repetition, the practices become instincts or habits. The camera, as a tool to capture what we see, changes how we see. As the philosopher Vilém Flusser writes, “Photographers have power over those who look at their photographs, they program their actions; and the camera has power over the photographers, it programs their acts” [1]. As an AI artist working on training generative adversarial networks (GAN) on my own datasets, I often take photographs of natural patterns found on walks along beaches or forest trails. These are for building a dataset of that outing, training a model, and then generating an extended, simulated wandering. I take a few hundred of these photographs at a time, the minimum required to train a GAN, or rather to extend the training of StyleGAN2 to produce images based on my own photographs.
