Abstract	This report is the third issuing from the Feasibility Study of Multiple Alternatives for the Training of Adult Education Teachers and Administrators and reports the results of a survey of needs in Adult Basic Education (ABE). Data were collected through on-site administration of survey instrument to 1,182 ABE/GED students, 123 teachers, and 22 local program administrators. Results include the following: (1) groups appear to disagree on the objectives of ABE/GED programs and on who should formulate objectives; (2) attending students appear to have more positive attitudes concerning ABE/GED programs than do teachers; (3) all groups tend to prefer traditional patterns of class organization and types of instructional materials; (4) students prefer to be grouped by interest, whereas teachers and administrators believe in grouping by achievement level; (5) more Orientals, Puerto Ricans and "other Latins" chose literacy education as what they wanted to get out of ABE/GED, while more Caucasians chose "pass GED."; (6) females chose GED training as their goal more frequently than did males; (7) teachers think specially trained full-time ABE/GED teachers are most successful with these students; administrators think elementary teachers are; and (8) almost half the administrators thought subject matter courses would be the most helpful additional training for teachers; only 12.2% of the teachers agreed.
