| Summary: | The understanding of the motivational orientations of adults with complex reasons participating in learning activities is a base for church leaders and directors of Christian education to plan educational programs that meet their needs as adult learners. Knowing their motivation helps determine the curriculum, methods of teaching, and the available resources, leading to success in reaching the desired goals for the members and the church. This paper investigates adults' voluntary participation in congregationally sponsored Christian education programs among Episcopal churches in Southern California. Adaptation of the education participation scale (EPS) (Boshier, 1991) was used to measure the adult's motivation to participate. |
