Abstract	The topic of the West Tennessee Adult Basic Education Workshop, held at Jackson, Tennessee in April, 1970, was the selection of adult basic education materials; 89 persons (teachers and supervisors) attended. This report contains an edited form of the presentation and the results of the evaluation. A profile of the adult basic education population in West Tennessee was compared with a national profile; characteristics of the adult learner and how these characteristics affect his learning were discussed; reading skills were reviewed; and characteristics of the most widely used, commercially produced materials in the country were described. Data were gathered on demography, participant reactions, and the overall effectiveness of the instructor; the Kropp-Verner Attitude Scale was administered to obtain a composite rating of the workshop. The average participant was female, Negro, 40 or older, and married; less than 30% had Master's degrees, but about one-half had had more than two years' experience in adult education. The workshop and the instructor were rated very positively, as was the overall value of the workshop. (EB)
