This paper describes an approach to evidence-based adult education and proposes a way to establish an evidence-based adult education system. The evidence-based adult education system presented here requires a close collaboration between researchers and practitioners. This collaboration must be built on a common vision and a respect for the strengths that each brings to this effort. For this system to work, however, policymakers would have to structure funding and administrative procedures in ways that support the adoption of evidence-based adult education practices. The goal of this paper is to convince researchers, funding agencies, policymakers, practitioners, and adult students to support the establishment of an evidence-based adult education system.
World Education strives to build lasting relationships with partners across diverse geographic regions and technical sectors to produce better education outcomes for all.
