Thesis Abstract

This research project aims to explore the design and implementation of a workplace-based adult education program. With the evolving demands of the modern workforce, providing opportunities for continuous learning and skill development is crucial for both employees and organizations. Workplace-based adult education programs offer a promising approach to address these needs and enhance employee performance and satisfaction.

The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. A specific workplace will be selected as the context for the research, and employees participating in the adult education program will be the primary participants. The research will focus on understanding the design elements of the program, including curriculum development, instructional strategies, and assessment methods. Additionally, the study will explore the implementation process, including challenges faced, facilitators of success, and the impact of the program on employee learning and development.

The quantitative surveys will gather data on employee perceptions of the program, satisfaction levels, and perceived skill development. The qualitative interviews will provide insights into the experiences and perspectives of employees and program facilitators, shedding light on the effectiveness of the workplace-based adult education program.

The findings of this study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on workplace-based adult education programs and provide practical insights for organizations seeking to design and implement similar initiatives. The research outcomes will inform employers, human resource professionals, and program developers about the key considerations and best practices in developing effective workplace-based adult education programs. Ultimately, this research aims to support the growth and development of employees, enhance organizational performance, and foster a culture of continuous learning within the workplace.
