This document is a compilation of 278 abstracts of documents related to teacher training in adult basic education and a 134-item unannotated bibliography of related documents. The literature review is to be used as a reference tool by adult educators at all levels, including classroom teachers, counselorso teacher trainers, and university faculty, program administrators, and researchers. This is the first in a series of four reports of a comprehensive national feasibility study of multiple alternatives for the training of adult basic education teachers and administrators. The major objectives of the total study are to determine the best practices currently in use, kinds of personnel trained, relative cost factors, and expressed needs in the field, as well as recommending a 5-year plan as a management tool to guide the Office of Education in its future planning, thinking, and funding of adult basic education teacher training projects.,(Author/JS) 11
