This bibliography is the result of a literature review directed exclusively at the issue of inservice education, or staff development, for experienced teachers, administrators, and other professional educators. The purpose was to examine, within the time frame of 1977 through 1983, recently completed studies to identify predominant research designs, samples, data collection procedures, and purposes. The first section lists nearly 300 articles discovered in educational journals. Of these, only 34 are classified as reports of original research; the others are classified as descriptions of major issues in staff development and inservice education, descriptions and reports of trends in staff development and inservice, sharing of local successful practices and models, and syntheses of research and issues in staff development and inservice education. The second and largest section of this bibliography is a listing of more than 300 doctoral dissertations related to inservice education, staff development, or other similar and related topics completed between 1977 and 1983. The third section provides a number of papers and technical reports of studies and projects designed to examine selected aspects of the topic. The last section includes a listing of the titles of books and book chapters completed, for the most part, during the past seven years. In total, more than 900 citations are included. (MLF)
