PREFACEAbstracts of Instructional Materials in Vocational and Technical Education (AIM)and the companion publLcation Abstracts of Research and Related Materials in Vocational and Technicalucation (ARM) ahnounce the availability of documents acquiredand processed by the ERIC Clearinghouse on Vocational and Technical Education. AIMincludes abstracts of materials typically designed'for teacher use or student use inthe classroom, and annotations of bibliographies or lists of instructional materials.It will be of particular interest to teachers, curriculum specialists, supervisorsand administrators involved in the use of instructional materialsin the teachinglearning setting, or in curriculum development.ARM incorporates abstracts of research and other materials which are useful to a wide audience of users such asresearchers, supervisors, teacher educators, education specialists, administrators,teachers and others who have an interest in vocational and technical education.These publications prepared by the ERIC Clearinghouse on Vocational and TechnicalEducation are published quarterly beginning with the Fall 1967 issue.The ERIC Clearinghouse on Vocational and Technical Education is a division ofthe Center for Research and Leadership Development in Vocational and Technical Education located at The Ohio State University and is one of the clearinghouses of theEducational Resources Information Center (ERIC-USOE). With the growth of vocationaland technical education programs, there is an increasing need for accessible information that can be used in developing logical chains of reasoning for research activities, for improving school practices and for shortening the theory-practice gap.This Clearinghouse is striving to provide a useful and vital function in dissemination of information on vocational and technical education.ARM and AIM give visibility to a document-based information system which constitutes an on-going databank of research and resource materials in vocational and technical education.Following are some of the benefits derived from this data base:* A central source of information to be reviewed and synthesized into state-ofthe-art papers, critical reviews, interpretive papers, etc.* A resource which includes different kinds of materials, e.g., instructionalmaterials, descriptive reports, survey reports, dissertations, conferenceproceedings, program plans or procedures, research reports.* Provision for availability of primary source materials through the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS) and/or other distribution agencies.* A source of bibliographies and a resource for development of bibliographies.* A source of materials for different user groups (i.e., administrators, supervisors, teacher educators, teachers, legislative and advisory bodies) withinformation needs in such diverse areas as teaching and learning, manpowerneeds and requirements, research design and methodology, evaluation.Since this Clearinghouse is a component of a larger information system, ERIC,it is logical that certain similarities among publications exist. In this regard(RIE)the format of ARM and AIM is similar to that of Research in Education(RI, theprimary publication of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC). RIEThe first issue was no. 1,1Research in Education is published 12 times a year.November 1966. Subscription: Domestic 21.00 a years foreign 5.25 additional.Single copy: Domestic, 1.75.

includes abstracts from all ERIC Clearinghouses. The abstracts of materials reportedin AIM relate specifically to the educational field of vocational and technical education and constitute a segment of ERIC, the national information system for Americaneducation.In addition to the two quarterly publications, Abstracts of Research and RelatedMaterials in Vocational and Technical Education (ARM), and Abstracts of InstructionaMaterials in Vocational and Technical Education AIM), othei710a1M1707 17---issued from time to time. These will typically concern themselves with reviewing andsynthesizing information in specific areas of vocational and technical education, e.g.,Review and Synthesis of Research in Technical Education; Agricultural Education;Home Economics, etc., and with reviewing and synthesizing information related totopical areas such as the economics of vocational and technical education.We are indebted to our colleagues within the profession for their cooperationin forwarding materials to the clearinghouse and for their suggestions and commentswhich have materially assisted in the development of this program. We anticipatefurther refinement and improved procedures with the continued assistance of ouradvisory committee.Robert E. TaylorDirector
INTRODUCTIONOrganization ofABSTRACTS OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALSIN VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATIONAbstracts of Instructional Materials in Vocational and Technical Education relies upon two basic formats--resumes and indexes--to serve the browser and thoseseeking specific information. The resumes are organized according to vocationalservice groupings in the first section of the document.Under each grouping, theresumes are arranged by Vocational Technical (VT) number which is an identificationnumber assigned to reports as they are processed.Resumes contain an abstract whichindicates the contents of a document in two hundred words or less.Documents whichhave been pulled from RIE resume tapes will appear in uppercase letters only. Additional components of a resume are explained in a diagram on page x.Several indexes are located after the resume section to provide specific approaches to documents reported in the resume section. These indexes are:Subject and Identifier IndexPersonal and Institutional Author IndexDocument Number IndexConversion of Document Number (VT to ED or MP, ED or MP to VT)All of the indexes refer to page numbers in this publication to enable thereader to quickly locate any resume of interest.Availability of AIMAIM is published quarterly (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer). The first issue began Fall 1967. At this time the four issues for the period Fall 1967 - Summer 1968and the AIM-ARM Annual Indexes are available only on microfiche or facsimile copy.Annual subscriptions are available beginning with Fall 1968. Microfiche or facsimilecopy for all previous issues may be ordered from ERIC Document Reproduction Service,(EDRS), P.O.

Availabilitof Materials Re.rted in AIMA basic concept of the ERIC system is to make known the availability of thefull text of materials abstracted.Most of the materials processed into the ERICsystem with an ERIC Document (ED) number will be available from the ERIC DocumentReproduction Service (EDRS) in the form of microfiche or facsimile copy. There isan EDRS availability line with each abstract which indicates if a document may beobtained from EDRS. Microfiche or facsimile copy must be ordered by ED (ERIC Document) number since EDRS is not set up to respond to requests for materials by subject, author, or title.If a document is not available from EDRS, the agency andaddress from which the document may be obtained is in the resume. AIM and ARMindexes can be used to determine ED numbers which relate to problem areas. Alwayscheck the most current issue of RIE in the section, How to Order ERIC DocumentReproductions for the latest price schedules and ordering procedure for microfiche(MF) and facsimile copy, called hard copy (HC).Materials with ED numbers are announced in Research in Education (RIE) as wellas AIM or ARM. These are available as individual documents through EDRS or anothersource.Documents with VT numbers oat are not announced in RIE but are included inAIM and ARM. They are not available as individual documents from EDRS but as partof a VT-ERIC set. Microfiche for an individual document in one of these sets is obtainable only through purchase of the set or from agencies that have this set andhave the capability of reproducing microfiche. Reports in these sets are identifiedin the resume by the phrase MF AVAILABLE IN VT-ERIC SET. The documents are groupedin VT number sequence in the microfiche set for each issue of AIM or ARM. Each setis announced in RIE under a single (ED) number.The Fall 1967 - Summer 1968 Microfiche Collections contain documents with VT numbers onand ED documents. 3eginningwith Fall 1968, the microfiche set contains the documents which have onlEVT numbers.Thus the microfiche collection for a particular issue of AIM'now contains the itemsin that issue of AIM which have the statement, MF AVAILABLE IN VT-ERIC SET, in theresume. These sets may be ordered from EDRS.Information to be used in orderingthe sets for AIM follows:AIM Microfiche CollectionsAIMFall 196819681969EDEDEDEDEDEDEDEDNumber013 339015 349017 746020 442022 971028 305030 770AIMMicrofiche 84i 7.08 34.10 36.74 umber032 434034 074037 585041 177042 931045 856049 382Microfiche75.2.0451.262.02.20tlttThe prices quoted above reflect a new priceschedule in effect for VT-ERIC microfiche collectionsas of June 1971.It should be noted that organizations which have standing orders with EDRS for thetotal microfiche collections in RIE will automatically receive the ARM and AIM microfiche collections.If an organization wishes to order only the materials abstractedby VT-ERIC which are announced in RIE and are on microfiche, a standing order may beinitiated with EARS for a VT-ERIC package.

This Clearinghouse has assumed the initiativein obtaining as much of the available information as possible.However, it is impossible for any organization to achieve complete and comprehensive coverage of afield as vast as vocational education without the cooperation and assistance of theprofession. The growth and ultimate effectiveness of the system require supplementalefforts of its users. Any person in the vocational or technical field is invited toforward to the Clearinghouse two copies of items relating to vocational-technicaleducation for possible inclusion in the system.Questions relating to this endeavorshould be directed to the Acquisitions Specialist at the Clearinghouse.AbbreviationsAIMAbstracts of Instructional Materials in Vocational and Technical EducationARM.Abstracts of Research and Related Materials in Vocational and TechnicalEducationEDERIC Document.-EDRSERIC Document Reproduction ServiceERICEducational Resources Information CenterHCHard copyMicroficheMPManpowerRIEResearch in EducationVocational-Technical11
