Specifically, we invited them to answer this question: What 5-10 research studies ever produced on any aspect of adult literacy do you find most useful for purposes of guiding policy, management and/or practice? We wanted to see if we could make a judgment about whether there is a basic canon of research on literacy comparable to what exists in other fields/disciplines. Is there a must-read list of research materials, we asked, and of what does it consist? We specified that we were looking for studies based on original, primary research that meet generally accepted standards for the highest professional quality. We said that the research should be discrete, completed (not in process), and have been made widely available. The results of our mini-survey, while limited in nature, are now available at the CAAL website as a pdf document titled "Research-on-Research Mini-Survey." Anyone who wants it should go to http://www.caalusa.org, scroll down the left column to the title, and click through.
