| Abstract | A sample of 1,536 persons in Ohio who are eligible for Adult Basic Education (no longer in school, sixteen years of age or over, and with less than twelve years of school) were interviewed by telephone to determine the awareness of Adult Basic Education (ABE) among eligible Ohioans, the characteristics of eligible Ohioans, and requirements and conditions for attending ABE. The conclusions include the following: (1) persons eligible for ABE and those interested in the program had contrasting characteristics, (2) while ABE had a 59.6% recognition factor, it was not especially known to the person who seemed most inclined to enroll, (3) while popular wisdom says word-of-mouth recruitment is the best, secondary and less personal sources of information accounted for over half of eligible persons' awareness of ABE, (4) the predominant reason given for being disinterested in ABE was being too old to learn, (5) approximately 25% of the respondents evidenced serious interest in ABE which is approximately 662,500 persons or about sixteen times the number presently enrolled, (6) regarding the requirements and conditions for attending ABE, location of the classes and time/distance factors seemed critical to approximately half the interested respondents, and (7) occupational and economic objectives offer less incentive to participation in ABE than purposes of personal satisfaction. (Twelve tables of data are attached.) (EM) |
