Retaining Adult Learners in the First Three Critical Weeks: A Quasi-Experimental Model for Use in ABE Programs.

Quigley, B. Allen; Uhland, Roberta L.

Adult Basic Education, v10 n2 p55-68 Sum 2000

At-risk adult literacy learners (n=20) were randomly assigned to a control group or one of three treatments: counselor-teacher team support, small-group instruction with students not at risk, or one-on-one tutoring. All in the treatment groups persisted longer than controls. The small group method was most effective for retaining students. (SK)
