Examination of Quality in a Community Family Communication Course
Cadogan, Eimer; McCarthy, Liam; Mangan, Mary
Adult Learner: The Irish Journal of Adult and Community Education, p103-112 2017
Adult education is under-researched and when quality is researched it is based on summative assessment, having implications for both policy and practice. Courses which deal with parenting often measure progress in this manner, missing out on the experience of learners. The present study uses conventional content analysis to examine the positive experiences of participants as an indicator of quality. The principal finding of this study was that the group process was critical to the learning, and that being listened to was the main benefit noted by participants, though this is not often used as a signifier of quality.
