Abstract | The Gateway Technical Institute's followup study on former adult basic education (ABE) students is examined in this report, which focuses primarily on the process of the study. Since the Gateway study complemented objective measures of program effectiveness with a perspective that is often missing in program evaluations, namely, former participants' subjective perceptions of the value of ABE, the author notes that the study was valuable not only in the results it provided the local district concerning the effects of ABE on former clients, but also in the information it provides researchers concerning the process of such evaluation in ABE. A brief review of literature and previous ABE evaluation processes of the Gateway districts are discussed first. Theoretical and practical limitations of the Gateway followup study are then presented and the design of the study is examined. Suggestions for alternate research procedures in future ABE followup studies are included. Finally, results and conclusions of the study are given. (WL) |
