1988年的成人教育修正案要求教育部向国会提交一份关于识字定义的报告，然后估计成人识字的程度。识字能力在早期人口普查局的调查中被定义为自我报告，成人表现水平项目采用基于能力的方法，并被 1985 年国家教育进步评估 (NAEP) 定义为“在各种成人环境中应用技能和知识”。 NAEP 定义被国家工作场所扫盲项目使用，教育考试服务中心 (ETS) 也将其用于 1992 年全国成人扫盲调查 (NALS)，该调查将评估居住在 48 个相邻州的私人住宅和大学宿舍的具有全国代表性的成年人（16 至 64 岁）样本。将进行约 12,500 次 1 小时的一对一访谈。读写能力评估计划持续 45 分钟，在此期间受访者将执行模拟任务。剩下的 15 分钟将用于获取背景信息。 ETS 将为各州提供同时开展州成人识字率调查的机会。 （信息联系人和委员会成员名单附后。） (YLB) EDRS 提供的复制品是原始文件的最佳复制品。
The Adult Education Amendments of 1988 require the Department of Education to submit a report to Congress on the definition of literacy and then to estimate the extent of adult literacy. Literacy has been defined by self-report in early Census Bureau surveys, in a competency-based approach by the Adult Performance Level project, and as "the application of skills and knowledge across a variety of adult contexts" by the 1985 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The NAEP definition is being used by the National Workplace Literacy Project, and it has also been adopted by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for the 1992 National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS), which will assess a nationally representative sample of adults (ages 16 through 64) residing in private houses and college dormitories in the 48 contiguous states. About 12,500 1-hour, one-on-one interviews will be conducted. The assessment of literacy skills is planned to last 45 minutes, during which respondents will perform simulation tasks. The remaining 15 minutes will be devoted to obtaining background information. ETS will offer states the opportunity to conduct a concomitant State Adult Literacy Survey.
