Final Evaluation and Monitoring Report of Demonstration Project for Adult Education "Mobilizing Adult Basic Education".
Harris, Dolores M.
A demonstration adult education project aimed at a rural New Jersey population and involving class sessions 1 evening per week at 6 sites (N=85 students, including 65 caucasians, 10 blacks, and 10 Hispanic) was evaluated in terms of compliance, process, and performance. Compliance monitoring included examination of: visitations; budget; staff records; student records; recruiter/counselor activities; publicity; advisory committee/community involvement. Compliance monitoring was given a rating of one (excellent compliance with project objectives). Performance monitoring was rated on the basis of: adherence to project objectives; test results; program administration; staff training; utilization of advisory committee; student attendance. Performance monitoring also received a rating of one. Process monitoring was judged by establishment and maintenance of class environment and effectiveness of instructional approaches, methodology, and materials. Process monitoring received a one rating as well. Among the more specific findings were: most participants had gained an average of two years growth during the period of instruction; average cost per instructional hour per participant was $3.97; there was considerable difficulty in the establishment of the English as a Second Language component; there was excellent utilization of the advisory committee; use of peer teachers and volunteers facilitated positive participative student attitudes.
