This project studied participation and benefits of noncredit adult education in Kansas. It was geared to determine appropriate roles for the state of Kansas in delivering educational services for adults through lifelong learning and noncredit educational programs. The population included 1,334 participants in noncredit adult learning experiences from these seven provider groups: adult basic education, business managers, vocational-technical schools, community colleges, nurses, and Cooperative Extension Pride and Non-Pride. A random sample of participants was selected from each of the seven groups and a survey was administered. The instrument was designed to determine demographic data and characteristics of the adult learning experience, along with the benefits derived from participation in noncredit adult education. Respondents replied to a 19-item benefit scale. This project report analyzes the responses by group and the following variables: sex/marital status, age, employment, education, number of learning experiences, enrollment reason, cost and length of learning experience, recognition received for completion, perceived satisfaction and strength of learning experience, opportunity to participate, relevance of benefits, and degree of personal benefit. Recommendations for program improvement, data tables, and the survey instrument are provided. (KC)
