A Descriptive Study of the State-Level Textbook Adoption Processes.
Tulley, Michael A.
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v7 n3 p289-308 Fall 1985
This study indicates that intent to achieve statewide uniformity of curriculum, to ensure selection of high-quality textbooks, and to control textbook costs is firmly grounded in data sources. Adoption processes of "state adoption" states are not monolithic, and insight into adoption processes may be gained from "open" states. (LMO)
