Abstract:
This document outlines a national agenda for research and development in the field of adult learning and literacy. It represents coordination among three agencies: National Institute for Literacy (NIFL); National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL); and the U.S. Department of Education's Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL). Questions are listed under five topic areas: adult learning, recruitment, and persistence; types of instruction that work best; learner assessment and program evaluation; staff development; and policy and structure. Dissemination and capacity are also considered.
