Interviews Assignment
100 PointsObjectives and Alignment:
1. Students will identify lay-person conceptions of adult education and adult learners based on personal experiences.
2. Student will reflect on how experience and education affect the lay-person definition of adult education and adult learners.
These assignment objectives align with Course Objective A: Students will be able to articulate the problem of defining adult education in the field and Course Objective B: Students will be able to articulate the major characteristics of adult learners. This assessment will introduce the students to different interpretations of what it means to be an adult learner and to participate in adult education.
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is for you to get a better picture of the layperson’s understanding of the terms “Adult Education” and “Adult Learners.” People’s views are very divergent because of their experiences. In order for you to accomplish this, you will be asked to interview five people and ask them questions about what they believe adult education is and who adult learners are.
Assignment:
To accomplish this, you will need to contact at least five different people and ask them a few questions (see below) in-person, via phone, or email. Record their responses on paper. Be sure to provide descriptive information such as gender, age, race/ethnicity, occupation, and years of schooling.For each interviewee, please record demographic information, questions you asked, and their verbatim responses on no more than a single page with one-inch margins and single-spaced for each interview. Please use the following questions:
1. What do you think of when you hear the words, “Adult Education”?
2. Why do most people attend Adult Education?
3. Where is most Adult Education carried out?
4. What would be considered an example of adult education?
5. What experiences have you had with Adult Education?
6. What do you think of when you hear the words, “Adult Learners”?
7. Do you consider yourself an adult learner? Why or why not?Then develop at least three more questions of your own. Include these questions in your summary at the end of your paper. Type the interview responses using one page for each person and single-spaced. Attach as an appendix to your paper.
Finally, as part of any good intellectual exercise, I ask that you write at least a three-page reflective piece on your experiences. How do their responses coincide or differ from yours? What surprised you? What were the common themes? Connect your reflection to our readings or outside scholarly or trade publications; please be sure to do so using APA Style Manual, 6th Edition. Use one-inch margins, double-spaced, and Times New Roman font, 12-point. Be sure to use section headings within your paper. This will help break up the paper. Let me know if you have any questions.
