Cooperative Education Planning Study: Annotated Bibliography.

Overview & Synopsis

A review of the literature concerning the cooperative education movement brought into focus a number of key issues which helped direct the study effort. Based on that review, the purpose of the annotated bibliography was conceptualized as two-fold: (1) to familiarize the project team with the broad sweep of writings on cooperative education, its history, philosophy, and present status, and (2) to provide more specific background material on the primary concern of the study, the goals and objectives of various cooperative education programs. The 106 annotated entries, listed alphabetically by author, include the following areas of cooperative education: goals and objectives, the student and cooperative education, institutions and cooperative education, employers and cooperative education, history and recent trends, program descriptions, program development, the role of the coordinator, academic credit for work experiences, cooperative education in non-traditional fields, funding for cooperative education, equal opportunity and cooperative education, evaluations and assessments, handbooks, materials, and guidelines, and voluntary versus mendatory programs. Typical bibliographic data are included. A subject index and a list of the periodicals utilized are appended. (BP)
