Abstract

ABSTRACT The Office of Correctional Education was created through an Act of Congress in 1991 to oversee and coordinate prison education programs as a way to reduce recidivism (Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act, 1990). However, correctional education completion rates are extremely low. Therefore, we used secondary data from the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies survey to show that students in prison would benefit from developmental and student supports. Survey data represented 1,319 prisoners and 8,670 from the household population. We used descriptive analysis, chi-square tests, and Welch’s t-tests to analyze survey data. We conclude that those in the prison sample had a greater potential need for student support programs than the household sample and would benefit from increased developmental and student supports.

惩教学生:发展教育中被遗忘的人群

惩教教育办公室是根据1991年的国会法案成立的，旨在监督和协调监狱教育项目，以减少再犯(Carl D. Perkins职业和应用技术教育法，1990)。然而，惩教教育的完成率极低。因此，我们使用了来自国际成人能力评估调查项目的二手数据，以表明监狱中的学生将受益于发展和学生支持。调查数据涉及1,319名囚犯和8,670名住户人口。我们使用描述性分析、卡方检验和韦尔奇t检验来分析调查数据。我们得出的结论是，监狱样本中的人比家庭样本更需要学生支持计划，并且会从增加的发展和学生支持中受益。
