DIFFERENTIATING SOCIO-CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SENIOR CITIZEN PARTICIPANTS IN ADULT EDUCATION ACTIVITIES IN UTAH COUNTY, UTAH

PHILEON BENJAMIN ROBINSON, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

Administrators in adult education are constantly trying to broaden the base of participation in their programs as well as to increase the effectiveness of these programs. One way often used to accomplish this has been to gather information about important socio-cultural characteristics and expressed educational needs of various target audiences. Of specific interest to these administrators have been those characteristics which differentiate most clearly between participants and nonparticipants in educational programs. Among the potential benefits of this knowledge is an improvement in the areas of program promotion, adult student counseling, and methodology for teaching adults.
