Learner Persistence
John Comings
NCSALL/Harvard Graduate School of Education
Several studies identify 100 to 150 hours of instruction as the minimum needed by adults to achieve an increase of at least one grade-level equivalent on a standardized test. However, the average hours of instruction for students in the adult education system is under 100 hours. If adult students are to achieve their goals and meet accountability standards for achievement, they must persist much longer in their studies. This presentation describes persistence and reviews the research and practice literature about ways to support it. It also presents recently completed research that builds a clearer understanding of how to support persistence.
