Workplace Literacy: Trends in the Literature. Trends and Issues Alerts.
Imel, Susan
The literature base on workplace literacy is continuing to develop at an unprecedented pace. As of March 1995, the ERIC database contained over 900 items indexed with the term "workplace literacy." Of those publications, nearly 400 (44%) were added since 1992. The following trends have been observed in the workplace literacy literature since 1992: the literature related to workplace literacy is continuing to expand; the literature is reflecting a movement toward a more participatory or collaborative approach to workplace literacy; a research base on workplace literacy is emerging; resources on staff development and teacher training are becoming available; and materials on curriculum development and approaches are continuing to expand. (An annotated list of 22 print resources dealing with workplace literacy is included.) (MN)
