Abstract
IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH FOR MEETING THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF ADULT OFFENDERS IN THE NATION'S PRISONS AND JAILS, A GENERALIZED PLANNING MODEL -- THE MODEL OF ADULT BASIC EDUCATION -- WAS PUBLISHED IN 1975 (SEE NCJ-46850). THESE READINGS FOLLOW THE SEVEN MAJOR DIVISIONS OF THE MODEL: (1) ANALYZING THE REAL LIFE ENVIRONMENT; (2) ESTABLISHING A PHILOSOPHY; (3) ASSESSING NEEDS; (4) DEFINING GOALS, SUBGOALS, AND OBJECTIVES; (5) FORMULATING A PLAN; (6) DEVELOPING, IMPLEMENTING, AND EVALUATING THE PROGRAM; AND (7) EVALUATING THE TOTAL SYSTEM. THE FIRST VOLUME CONTAINS 34 READINGS RELATED TO THE FIRST FIVE DIVISIONS WHILE THE SECOND CONTAINS 35 ARTICLES RELATED TO DIVISIONS 6-7. THE AUTHORS INCLUDE EX-OFFENDERS, EDUCATORS, PENOLOGISTS, ECONOMISTS, SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS, CORRECTIONS ADMINISTRATORS, AND LINE PERSONNEL. MANY OF THE PAPERS INCLUDE REFERENCES. TOPICS COVERED RANGE FROM THE PRACTICAL PROBLEMS OF SETTING UP AN ADULT EDUCATION SYSTEM TO THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF SYSTEM OBJECTIVES. SEVERAL OF THE PAPERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION SECTION CONTAIN CURRICULUM LISTS, TEXTBOOK LISTS, AND SUGGESTIONS FOR AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS.
