Abstract: Adult education is an area in which teaching evaluations are often required to assess instructional effectiveness. The purpose of this article is to present and illustrate a model for evaluation that will provide accurate information concerning the effectiveness of particular instructors and settings in adult education. Importance-Performance, the model used, identifies the relative importance of factors influencing student preferences (importance component) and also indicates the degree to which a particular educational setting possesses these factors (performance component).
