This book is intended to help practitioners in adult
education become better informed about assessment, evaluation, and
accountability as these are critical functions of administering and running
adult education programs. The book is for adult educators who have been asked
to serve on assessment committees, produce detailed reports for funders and
accreditors, create a culture of assessment within their program and
organization, and/or develop reports for accountability purposes.
Section one presents an introductory overview of assessment
and evaluation in adult education. Section two gives guidance on practices for
specific areas of adult education practice, such as army military education,
human resource development, and continuing professional education. Section
three provides assessment practices for adults in higher education, with
chapters dedicated to distance learning, health professions education, and
graduate education.
