Abstract
This study addressed the problem of identifying competencies needed by educational administrators in order to assess the learning needs of adults in a community. The study identified thirty-two competencies which may be appropriate for inclusion in professional development programs or literature for educational administrators. Educational administrators who were known to design and implement adult education programs based on assessed learning needs of adults in their communities were selected to provide data for this study . Eighty-eight of Florida's educational administrators were invited to participate by completing two questionnaires mailed to them on two occasions. They were selected by thirty educators who were knowledgeable of these programs from a regional or state- wide perspective. Two conclusions were drawn from the results of this study. It was concluded that competencies needed by educational administrators to assess the learning needs of adults in a community were identified. This conclusion was drawn and evidenced by the list of competencies developed through the application of the proposed research method. Secondly, it was concluded there was consensus regarding the competencies among the group of educational administrators participating in this study.
