Complicating IssuesIn addition to the major organizing themes discussed
earlier, other issues that affected their lives in complex ways further
complicated the adult education decisions of study respondents.
This research demonstrates that it is important for policy makers and
program providers to realize that adult education clients are holistic
individuals with a variety of responsibilities and concerns.
Adult education decision-making is a complex process that accounts for
both individual and societal influences. The
following issues were among those that complicated adult education
decision-making for respondents. While not all respondents faced each of these issues, many
were affected by multiple factors and thus found adult education program
participation especially challenging. In
order to meet the needs of adult education clients effectively, it is important
that program providers acknowledge these complicating issues and actively assist
clients in discovering ways to overcome them.
