Abstract | This study explores the current status of the delivery of mathematics instruction in General Educational Development (GED) programs in Arkansas and the relationship between the instructor's experience and background, instructional practices, support of mathematics reform, and professional involvement. The experience/background, teaching techniques/methods, training/staff development, and professional involvement of GED instructors were investigated by 57 adult education centers which house the GED programs. Results indicate that the typical GED student was performing paper-and- pencil and textbook/workbook practice; the focus of mathematics was on teaching how to manipulate numbers rather than on problem solving, critical thinking, and mathematical reasoning; and that typical GED instructors needs staff development to upgrade their own math skills.
