dc.description.abstractABSTRACT Despite the importance of Adult Mass Education as one of the means of bringing about social, cultural, economic, political and religious transformations in a society, adult mass education had not been receiving the attention it deserved in the scheme of affairs in Nigeria as a whole. This kind of attitude resulted in adult mass illiteracy of the citizens of the country thereby culminating in ignorance, poverty, underdevelopment and other forms of anti-social vices. Having realised the importance of Mass Literacy Education, the Federal Government in conjunction with the various state governments decided to embark on Adult Mass Literacy education thereby establishing centres. The centres were established with a view to narrow the gap between the rural and urban communities, and to integrate the former into the nation's life. These centres are also looked upon to hopefully design methods for mobilizing the rural people and local resources with a views to increasing production\income that will help raise their standard of living and promote the spirit of initiation and self-reliance. In most developing countries however, architectural approach to learning environments has not really been recognised. Many architects design without paying any attention to the needs, preferences. life-styles and locality of the adult rural illiterates for whom the buildings are meant. One of the major problems being faced is the situation whereby adults learn in environments which do not acknowledge their adulthood. People's perception of the physical environment was found to be key determinant in their use and satisfaction with it. The thesis therefore is more concerned with creating a suitable environment to motivate the adult learners. In the process of this research, both local (traditional) and conventional study spaces will be analysed as well as the different techniques employed in such centres. The users are also going to be considered . A synthesis of this is further envisaged to aid us arrive at certain design requirements for adults in Adult Literacy Schools. These 'models' will subse quentlv be used to design adult mass literacy centres in all local governments in Kaduna State. The design scope will be limited to the following primary units: An administrative Unit. The Academic Unit and Vocational Section as well as Recreational\Auxiliary Units.en_US
