Abstract	Documents about adult education in Latin America at the Survey and Analysis Center of the Adult Education Association of the U.S.A. were reviewed to identify promising research directions. A theoretical framework for research should be developed and should include definitions of concepts and variables in different settings and identification of problem areas for study. A working relationship with persons in Latin America should be established and an inventory listing made of available materials. Other studies should include validation information on national reports; program descriptions; case studies of effective programs; descriptions of specific professional practices; needs, problems, and clientele toward whom programs are directed; needs not being met; comparative studies; approaches useful in other countries; contributions of adult education in preparing national development plans; characteristics of programs which are most effective; study of criterion measures; analysis of critical incidents; evaluation of return on investment; and user studies. The Adult Education Association could encourage research by making available suggestions for research, by providing opportunities for conferences, and possibly by helping to secure funding. (eb)
