K-12 Course Goals in Business Education.

Overview & Synopsis

A collection of program and course goals in business education, developed by outstanding teachers using available models and guides, together with several indexes and a business education taxonomy which serves as a table of contents and provides an overview of the topics in the subject area, comprise the document. The goals state concisely what students can know and do in the major content areas of business education learning, and in the area in which business education relates to values education, basic education, and career education. The course goals are coded for reference to business education program goals, career education program goals, and knowledge and process classifications. Printed in subject collections, the goals may also be grouped in and across subjects. A concept/value code provides further help in interdisciplinary planning. It will be necessary for the teacher to develop goals at a further level of specificity before instructional goals have been created. A measurement product is under development, and computerization is in process to permit retrieval by any of the codes. (Eleven additional collections of course goals and two introductory volumes are also available from the source cited.) (AJ)
