Muncie Community Schools' Adult Education Prooram How does an adult student learn to dissect a frog? Have you ever heard of a dry lab? Ever hear of a Cybermobile? Are your teachers up to speed with computers? All of these questions deal with bringing computer technology into the adult education classroom. It is imperative to integrate computer technology in the Adult Basic Education (ABE) and Adult Secondary Credit (ASC) classrooms. Adults are faced with using computers in just about every aspect of their lives from data entry to obtaining a movie rental card at the local video rental store, or completing a pre-employment examination given on a computer terminal at a nearby automotive plant. In today's society, one of the basics of education is computer literacy. This includes everything from using computers as tutorials for building basic skill levels to using various software programs that an adult would encounter in the workplace. Muncie Community Schools' (MCS) Adult Education Program has integrated the use of computers in their ABE and ASC programs to benefit adult learners, not only in accomplishing their educational goals or gaining employment, but for improving their confidence levels when they find out that they too can operate a computer. MCS Adult Education Program has, through various local grants, obtained funds that have provided computers at most of the ABE and ASC sites. Grant writing is hard work, but the students' results are worth the headaches. At some sites where it is not feasible to set up computers, MCS partnered with the Muncie Public Library to bring computers to the ABE site through the use of their Cybermobile. What is a Cybermobile? It is a former bookmobile that contains six computer stations complete with software and Internet access. The library personnel selected software for the cybermobile that teaches adults about computers and applications for building basic skill levels. It proved to be a great partnership! ABE and ASC students use a combination of application and curriculum software. Microsoft Office 97 is the major application software. Students use the word processor for reports, essays, letter writing and journal writing. For many adult learners, there is a great deal of satisfaction that comes from seeing their thoughts prepared in a typed format. They use Excel for producing spreadsheets and preparing graphs. PowerPoint is used as a report tool and a tutorial. For example, credit students completing a math credit are required to build a slide presentation explaining a math concept or problem that the student had difficulty understanding, based upon their TABE results. The end result is a better understanding of the math concept, the skills to use Powerpoint, and a lot of fun incorporating graphics, clip art and sound effects into their presentations. We also have a program called The Student Writing and Resource Center that is used in all subjects. This program is a desktop publisher that is integrated with the Compton's Encyclopedia. This allows the student to go from the word processor to the encyclopedia and back again through program icons. An advantage this software provides is the student can copy any article or picture they want and place it in their document. …

Adult education, in the United States, has become closely associated with vocational education. State and federal monies have only been made available for adult education in times of a national emergency or through vocational acts. The first monies to be made available for adult academic improvement programs were under the Adult Education Act of 1966. According to the 1960 Census figures, there were more than 120,000 adults and out-of-school youth in the State of Utah who had not gone beyond the eighth grade in their formal schooling. These were more than 48,000 adults who had not finished the eighth grade and additional thousands who had not completed the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades. There were those who had received high school diplomas, but who were below the average attainment of students at those grade levels who could be classified as functional illiterates. In spite of the pressures that were exerted by the critics of public education, there seems to be substantial support for the premise that the public schools are currently serving middle and upper class white caucasians more adequately than they are members of the minority groups and youths who for some reason do not adjust to the school situation, nor older adults. Two forces are operating to bring about a renewal of interest in adult education. First is the population explosion which has crowded the classrooms to capacity. Second is 'the explosion of knowledge in the fields of technology. The increased demands made of adults by advanced technology combines with the already existing problem of the under educated calls attention to an 'educational-lag. The specific objectives of this study were: (1) to determine if there was an association between the monies allocated for adult education and the programs offered, and (2) if there was an association between the monies allocated and the success and/or failure of the This was five year study which started in 1964 and carried through to 1969. During this time 8,496 students were enrolled in 846 adult classes at the cost of $7.67 per student, a total expenditure of $65,084.00. The adult classes offered were grouped into three major areas: (1) high school completion, (2) adult basic education, and (3) avocational or high interest classes. High school completion courses were the most popular classes offered having an enrollment of 2,736 students; avocational or high interest was next with 4,282 students and adult basic was least popular with 1,478 students. The students enrolled in adult education classes were quite dedicated, 6.019 or 69.7 percent finished the classes they had enrolled for and showed an average daily attendance record of 86.1 percent. Student responses showed that the people of the county was quite well satisfied with the programs they had received. In answer to the questions asked concerning help and assistancs in vocational fields, 30.8 percent indicated that they felt that they had been helped as compared with 31.1 percent who replied negatively as to job assistance and guidance, this left 38.0 percent who were undecided. Responses to questions concerning social satisfaction showed 56.6 percent feeling that they had been very satisfactory as compared with 31.1 percent who replied negatively. The information in the above paragraphs supports the contention That there is an association between the monies spent and the programs offered; the people involved and the success and/or failure of the programs. Anytime something happens, it happens because of certain basic components that are present. Adult education happens when plans are made for it. This planning required assignment and responsibility. Assignment and responsibility reflect commitment and commitment assures necessary support and funding. Money for the support of adult education comes from several sources. It determines the nature, scope and size of the local

The process of re‐employing the unemployed is still not well described, and understanding of the function of adult education in the life of the participants is still undeveloped. This article describes the psychological changes during participation in adult education in order to understand the psychological factors, which may explain the re‐employment effect. A longitudinal study among participants in adult basic education with an exam in Denmark reveals that unemployed are very goal‐directed and become more so during the course, and that participants’ high social support is diminished significantly during the course. The results also show that neither self‐esteem nor instrumentalism increased during the course. When unemployed meet some demands, i.e. re‐employment, and experience a decrease in social support, the commitment in terms of goal‐directedness increases. The general conclusion is that the function of adult education seems to be the commitment of disengaged adults to societal demands.

Partnership is an approach used for effective human and material resources provision among agencies and partners based on democratic principles of understanding in pursuit of a common goal. Adult education programmes are provided by the government, Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and donor agencies. Yet adult education seems to suffer from a dearth of human and material resources due to a loose partnership framework among government NGOs and donor agencies. Hence the need to provide a benchmark for partnership among government, NGOs and donor agencies in the provision of human and material resources. Adopting a descriptive survey research design, the instrument was administered to 3202 subjects consisting of sixty-two proprietors of NGOs adult education centres, five directors of state agencies of mass literacy adult and Non-formal education, fifteen coordinators of donor agencies and 3120 adult education instructors. The data was presented using frequencies, percentages, means, standard derivations and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study revealed that NGOs have to submit quarterly the record of their staff strength to state agencies for mass literacy adult and non-formal education for resource planning and that development of materials in multi-language can be achieved through collaborated efforts of stakeholders. Thus, the study recommended, among others, that state agencies for mass literacy, adult and non-formal education, NGOs and donor agencies should cooperate to organize conferences for capacity development and instructors and development material in multi-language for adult learners.

This study was set to determine the effect of integrating ICT use in the delivery of services in public secondary schools in Siaya County, Kenya. Although many secondary schools introduced computers in great numbers starting early 1990s, there are limited information on their use to facilitate delivery of services in school administration and management. The extent to which ICT is being used in school management in secondary schools, the types of administrative uses of ICT by school managers and challenges affecting the integration of ICT in the management systems in secondary schools needed to be adequately addressed. The purpose of this study was therefore to determine the effect of integrating ICT in the delivery of services in public secondary schools in Siaya County. The study objectives were to determine the areas in which ICT is being used in the delivery of management services in public secondary schools in Siaya County and to recommend strategies of enhancing ICT in the delivery of services in public secondary schools in Siaya County. The theoretical framework that guided the study was Social Transformation Theory in Education and Visscher (1992) conceptual model of school information system, which were used to show the relationship between variables. The research design that was used is descriptive survey. The study population consisted of 167 Principals, 167 Secretaries, 167 Deputies, 167 Bursars/Accounts’ clerks and 334 Heads of Departments. Purposive sampling technique was used to identify 48 schools that had incorporated ICT in their management system in secondary schools. Saturated sampling technique was used to select 48 principals. Purposive sampling technique was used to select one head of department in charge of examinations and one in charge of boarding in each sampled schools, giving a total of 96 heads of departments, 48 Deputy Principals, 48 Secretaries and 48 Bursars/ Accounts’ clerk. Questionnaires was administered to the H.O.Ds, Deputy Principals and Bursars/Accounts’ clerks to gather data on the level of ICT incorporation in management in secondary schools. Interviews with school principals and Secretaries captured data on their role in provision of ICT equipment for school management systems and the challenges they face in ICT use in school administration system. To ensure validity and reliability of the research instruments, experts from the School of Education, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology scrutinized the research instruments. A pilot study of 5 schools was equally conducted in the schools not sampled for the study. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n2p554

The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive way to view systematic differences in groups of low-literate adults through the creation of a typology based on deterrents to participation in adult basic education. Information about such deterrents, obtained from 160 low-literate adult basic education students with the Deterrents to Participation Scale - Form LL, was used as the data base for the research. Through the use of disjoint cluster analysis, six types of low literate adults were identified according to their scores on five deterrent factors. The typology provides a basis for the development of strategies and programs to meet the needs of specific subgroups of the low-literate population in adult basic education.

Workplace learning is a critical aspect of both continuing professional education and human resource development. However, often providers, scholars and even the learners themselves pay little attention to the learning that actually happens in the workplace. The study sought to obtain insights into workplace learning of Adult Education and Training, centre managers and educators. Qualitative data generated through interviews and focus group discussions with 62 conveniently selected educators and centre managers in 18 Adult Education and Training centres were thematically analysed through a seven-step process. Educator workplace learning emerged around judgement, decision-making and problem solving, awareness and understanding, role and task performance and team work and passion. Data also indicated that the learning was tacit, surface, context-rooted and consequential to managing crises in the Adult Education and Training centres. The study recommends adequate resource provisioning to this sector by the Department of Higher Education and Training to promote deep learning-in-practice and to minimise the surface learning in crisis management that is prevalent in the centres. Adult Education and Training has to fulfil its mandate of contributing to economic development and transformation of broader society; however, without resource supports, this crucial role will remain a dream, which may force educators into paying lip-service to the work of educating adults.

ICT use in the classroom is very important to provide the opportunities for adult students to learn in this information communications technology (ICT) age. Studying the barriers to the use of ICT in education may assist teachers to overcome these barriers and have successful integration of ICT in the future. The purpose of this case study was to examine the factors affecting the use and integration of ICT in an Irish Adult Education and Training Centre (AETC). This study investigates the role of ICT in two Adult Education Programmes, the Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS) and the Youthreach Programme within an AETC in the South West of Ireland. Both qualitative and quantitative research methodology was utilised in this study. The qualitative research data consisted of seven in-depth interviews with staff and students in the Adult Education and Training Centre. The quantitative research data was gathered with the aid of a questionnaire and class observations. Forty eight questionnaires were completed by staff and students in the Adult Education and Training Centre and five classes were observed. The results of the Case study show the major issues for the VTOS Programme are availability of ICT and the fact that they have no interactive whiteboards available to them. In the Youthreach Programme even though they have full ICT equipment available to them in all their classrooms they do not have full ICT integration. All AETC teachers should attend some kind of professional development training. The author suggests that if these can be addressed this AETC will continue to offer an excellent ICT experience to its adult learners.

This research aimed to investigate the technology potential, especially regarding the learning process of Mathematics. We focused on the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and on the students at the Adult Basic Education (ABE). Taking into account the digital culture immersion the society is nowadays, the research aimed to study, to investigate and to observe the contributions the ICTs may present to the learning process of exploratory and investigative Mathematics' tasks for students at the ABE. This is a qualitative, hermeneutic and collaborative study, and it presents some similarities to action research. The study involved twenty-five students from three different Elementary School classes (6th, 7th and 9th grades) from a government program called Proeja (National Integration Program of the Vocational Education into the Basic Education at the Adult Basic Education). The actions and reflections were guided by the following question: Which pedagogical contributions the teaching proposal using technological resources may offer to the Mathematics' teaching and learning process of students at the ABE? As observing the possible benefits and challenges of using technology resources at the ABE classes, regarding the needs and specific characteristics of this kind of teaching, it was aimed to investigate the potentials of educational technology for the Mathematics' teaching and learning process at the ABE; to evaluate the benefits it may bring to the teaching and learning process of exploratory and investigative Mathematics' tasks; to offer the Mathematical community teaching techniques that evaluate the possibility of developing critical mathematical thinking on the ABE students. To achieve the goal of this study, it was designed two teaching proposals. One of the proposals focus the contents Area and Perimeter and it used only the ICTs as pedagogical resources. The other one approached the contents Symmetry and Angle and it used the ICTs and the Plane Mirror. The hypothesis assumed was that the integration between these technological artefacts could contribute to the teaching and learning process. During the field research, we used the following strategies to produce data: questionnaires, audio and video recording, semi-structured interviews, records of the teaching proposals developed, and field notes taken by the teacher researcher. The theoretical basis came from authors that performed research about the related themes. The study analysis had a hermeneutic nature. This characteristic originated by the information that emerged from the data collected during the research, but only the data that presented elements to add evidence that could answer the investigation's question. Three analysis categories were identified: 1) Feelings aspects of ABE students; 2) Emerging Mathematics and Technological Knowledge and 3) Reflex of the Technology. The second category had two subsections: a) Students' Emerging Knowledge and b) Teacher Researcher's Emerging Knowledge. The results indicated that the use of technology, especially the ICTs, helped the teaching and learning process of Mathematics when presenting exploratory and investigative tasks to the ABE classes. It is expected that this research may contribute to Mathematics teacher's education and to the teaching and learning process of ABE students.

Arising out of the need to help students in adult education understand and take action about the and service cuts afflicting Massachusetts, Let's Make a Deal provides a valuable resource for adult basic education (ABE), ESL, SLIAG, and Citizenship teachers. The guide helps students understand taxes, their role in society, and the concept of participatory citizenship, while simultaneously helping them to strengthen their basic math, language, and problem-solving abilities. Despite the fact that the materials are specific to Massachusetts, both the basic skills and the understandings of taxes developed in the guide are useful and can be adapted to any state. The organization of the guide facilitates its use in the classroom. Materials are divided into three sections (Good Government, Taxes and State Budget, and How You Can Be Heard) and are color coded for objectives, background, lessons, and curriculum materials. Using a problem-solving/empowerment approach, the authors have developed in clear, straightforward language and pictures lessons that can help students understand the day-to-day consequences of, and often abstract discussions about, taxes. For example, one exercise asks students to look at 11 pictures and discuss what things they would not have if they didn't pay taxes. Another lesson helps students to understand different kinds of taxes and loopholes and to compare relative burdens. A third set of materials provides instruction in reading tax-related materials (paycheck records, forms and tables) and in calculating and completing returns. A lesson in the final section asks students to evaluate different options for resolving the tax crisis in Massachusetts. These materials are not meant to constitute a comprehensive curriculum. Rather, they are a set of materials which can be adapted and drawn upon. Consequently, each section has suggestions for adapting the materials to ABE and ESL learners at different levels of abilities. In addition, a supplement outlines math skills that could tie in with the curriculum, including a short, but highly relevant, bibliography. As with any materials, there are minor sections that need improvement (e.g., the definition of progressive [p. 19] taxes is unclear); nonetheless, these materials would make an excellent addition to any curriculum teaching citizenship. By directly and powerfully relating abstract concepts to everyday experience, by providing practice in analyzing confusing information, and by presenting nonthreatening ways to get involved politically, Let's Make a Deal makes teaching citizenship easier and more productive. It links the material to the changeable reality of students' lives.

Education quality is important for those who are involved in that school either directly or indirectly such as principle, headmaster, teacher, staff administration, students, parents and etc. A case study was used to get the overview about the quality management in school's management at SMA Negeri 1 Subang based on the school's accreditation grade A. Quality Management (QM) was employed as an approach in analyzing and characterizing the school's quality management. The purpose of study was to identify the criteria, standards and indicators in management of school, to get the overview how to get the good quality in education based on the school's accreditation A. Quality Management will be focused in analyzing management of the school. The result illustrated that QM can be used as an approach in analyzing the quality of education. There are seven indicators that should be achieved in quality management; curriculum, achievement, learning and teaching, students' support, school's ethos, resources and management, leadership and quality assurance. Quality of education organized by the member of school and it should contribute each other between principle, headmaster, staff administration, teacher, students and parents. Principles and criteria used based on Quality Management that there should be the process of plan, do, check, and act continuously. Thus, quality management in education should be designed cooperatively in the members of the school and as an evaluation it should be monitored continuously.

The Kenya’s Basic Education Act 2013 empowers religious sponsors to participate in management of schools that they sponsor with regard to appointment of principals, provision of instructional, financial and infrastructural development of the schools. In Kisii Central Sub-County, the Catholic Church participates in management of 29(39.7%) secondary schools. However, queries were being raised on the current contribution of the church as it had come to the fore that most sponsored schools were experiencing crises that had tended to be linked to the church’s participation in management. For instance, out of 29 principals in the sub-county, 18 (62.07%) new principals; 23 (79.31%) deputy principals and 5 (17.24%) BOM chair persons were rejected by the church from assuming their positions between 2010 – 2013 in the Sub-County which was higher compared to neighbouring Sub-Counties, that is, Marani 1(4.54%) and Kisii South 2 (7.41%) Principals; while Masaba 3 (12%) and Sameta 3 (13.04%) both involving Board of Management. The objectives of the study were to determine the contribution of the Catholic Church to financial resources and ascertain the contribution of the Catholic Church to infrastructural development to management of public secondary schools in Kisii Central Sub – County. The findings of this study were that the Catholic Church contribution to financial support for administrative staff, motivation and student bursaries was 27.7%; Infrastructural development in terms of provision for classrooms and land was 36.4%. this implies that the Catholic Church contribution to financial resources and infrastructural resources was critical and acknowledged by the School Boards of Management.
