CAPE Research Project 2017-2018
Survey of Adult Education-Participation/Motivation
VALUEUSA: 6.22.2017
VALUEUSA is a national non-profit
organization committed to adult learner involvement and leadership. In 2017 and
2018 the CAPE research team will survey the motivations of and conduct group
interviews with 140 adults. Adults will identify and prioritize deterrents,
root causes, and solutions with researchers. These data will inform the field
of adult education to motivate adults to participate.
The
Critiquing
Adult Participation in Education (CAPE) research is a national
research project designed to meet the needs for greater knowledge. According to
PIAAC, millions of US adults need basic skills. Current adult education
resources serve approximately 10% of these adults annually, leaving 30 million
without participation. The deterrents and the solutions are pressing issues for
policymakers and adult educators. The CAPE research will answer those questions
by surveying adults in two states on their motivations to forego education and
find solutions to boost participation.
How
can you help? VALUEUSA would greatly appreciate your suggestion of a major city
in your state, as well as contacts with local adult education programs in that
city and smaller communities within an hour’s drive, that could refer VALUEUSA
to potential host organizations. Contact us at office@valueusa.org or call (484)
