The 10 journal articles and documents annotated in this bibliography cover various aspects of the controversy provoked by the emergence of the back-to-basics movement. Several attempt to define the movement and to place it in political and educational context. One paper reports statistics on its growth. Several sources delineate the movement's scope and forecast its future. Others attempt to define what skills are truly basic, and one offers advice to school boards contemplating back-to-basics programs for their districts. All these sources are indexed in ERIC. (Author)
