Ziegler, Mary; Durant, Chas; Mincey, Rosemarie
Perspectives: The New York Journal of Adult Learning, v1 n2 p18-28 2002-2003
Six adult basic education programs were examined to understand why they reported higher than average attendance for welfare recipients. Learners saw class not as mandatory, but as a way to achieve goals. Programs focused on engagement, a precursor to learning. Engagement factors included beliefs about teaching/learning, relationships, learning climate, and goals. (Contains 19 references.) (JOW)
