| contents | California Literacy Campaign Program Effectiveness Review. Lane, Martha A. And Others Adult Literacy Educational Assessment Library Services Literacy Education Program Descriptions Program Effectiveness Program Evaluation Public Libraries Questionnaires Sampling State Aid State Libraries State Programs Surveys Tutorial Programs This effectiveness review of the California Literacy Campaign (CLC), a program designed to significantly reduce the number of functionally illiterate adults in California, was submitted to the California State Library for consideration of continuation of state funding beyond 1984-85. The review includes an analysis of existing data (state library directives, guidelines and criteria, and second-quarter reports of the 27 funded projects in public libraries); telephone interviews with a sample of adult literacy students; and a written questionnaire survey of a sample of tutors. This evaluation incorporated a modification of the discrepancy model which compares a program's performance to the standards set for its performance. The analysis of existing data was conducted in three steps: all standards, goals, and outcomes set for the campaign at various stages in its first two quarters of development were reviewed, refined, and organized into major program outcomes and processes; all available data were analyzed to determine discrepancies between intended and actual outcomes; and implications and recommendations for improvements were generated. Following an introduction which covers background, overview, study design and execution, a review of the literature, and definitions, the report is divided into four sections and appendices. They include: (1) The Adult Literacy Students; (2) The Tutors; (3) The 27 Library Literacy Projects; and (4) The Work of the California State Library. A CLC project locations map, the student interview guide, the tutor questionnaire, and the library literacy project directors' questionnaire are appended. (THC) |
