Projects in Progress -- FY 1979. A Report for the Coordinating Committee on Research in Vocational Education.

Overview & Synopsis

Resumes of 321 ongoing projects in career education, vocational education, and education and work are provided. (These contract and grant awards are administered by the U. S. Office of Education's Division of Research and Demonstration and Office of Career Education.) The publication is organized into three sections. Section 1 includes descriptions of the four agencies and a list of key personnel. Section 2 contains the project resumes grouped by administering agencies (e.g., the Office of Career Education, the National Institute of Education). Projects administered by the Division of Research and Demonstration (the largest section of abstracts) are subdivided as follows: Programs of National Significance (Projects of National Significance, Personnel Development, the National Center for Research in Vocational Education, and Curriculum Coordination Centers); Bilingual Vocational Education; and Contract Program for Indian Tribes and Indian Organizations. Each resume includes bibliographic information, subject terms that describe the project, and an abstract focusing on project objectives and procedures. Section 3 is comprised of six indexes: subject, project director, organization, responsible agency, geographic location (state and U. S. Congressional District), and contract/grant number. Directions for using the report and a sample resume are provided in the introduction. (Author/LRA)
