A City College's GED Students--Factors and Unanswered Questions
Journal of Education, v201 n2 p86-95 Apr 2021
The goal of this study is to have a better understanding of today's general education development (GED) students so proper services and support can be provided to meet their needs. Through students enrolled in GED programs in a health science career pathway--focused city college, the study learned the students' employment status, career intention, and sources of finding the GED programs. It tracked academic year gaps between the students' very first and current GED enrollment in the city college and found a mild correlation between student age and year gap. It also identified GED students' unbalanced learning skills in math and reading.
