HelloNCL Colleagues,
Here is a follow-up to our Wednesday January 9th NCL Public Policy Committee meeting item on the Mathematica Assessing Evidence of Effectiveness in Adult Education: Design Study.
This 2003 Paper by John Comings, Hal Beder, Steve Reder, Beth Bingman and Cristine Smith may be helpful in informing NCL recommendations to Mathematica for its "Assessing Evidence of Effectiveness in Adult Education: Design Study" project.
http://www.ncsall.net/fileadmin/resources/research/op_comings3.pdf http://www.ncsall.net/fileadmin/resources/research/op_comings3.pdf
For example, the section on Building an Evidence-based Adult Education System, page 10, has this advice:
"Research and evaluation should take place within programs that meet some basic criteria for good design. These criteria define baseline program models. An evidence-based adult education system should start with the identification and evaluation of baseline program models that conform to the existing empirical evidence and practitioner knowledge. Since the existing evidence from basic and applied research and program model evaluation is insufficient to be the sole source of program model design, practitioner knowledge is critical to filling in the existing gaps. Baseline program model evaluations would establish a place from which to begin improvement.”
This recommendation offers an approach to prevent using an (expensive) experimental design study to measure the effect of a program model that does not have sufficient preliminary empirical evidence of being effective.

David,
This is excellent and still relevant 16 years after the paper was published. It would be wonderful if we could come together as field to build an evidence-based adult education system. This has been a recent topic of discussion with a number of our colleagues here at COABE. I would love to see this conversation continue at the COABE 2019 conference in New Orleans, LA March 31-April 3rd. We can provide a meeting space if folks are interested in continuing the discussion.
Kindly,

Judy and others,
I have contacted the Open Door Collective Steering Committee, copied here, to see if we could organize this meeting. The Open Door Collective has over 30 members attending the COABE Conference, many of whom are researchers or who have shown an interest in research. If we take this on, it would of course be a meeting open to all COABE members attending the conference.

Good idea! I was always an advocate for the approach that paper
recommends. I don’t know of any adult ed public funder that has followed
these recommendations. Does anyone?
