Catalog of NIE Products. Volumes 1 and 2.

Overview & Synopsis

This catalog contains descriptive information on 660 products funded, in whole or in part, by the National Institute of Education (NIE). Purpose of the catalog is (1) to inform educational practitioners, developers, policy-makers, and publishers about a wide range of educational products and (2) to help potential consumers select the most appropriate educational products for their needs. Included are NIE-sponsored products that have been published commercially, as well as those available through noncommercial sources. Approximately two-thirds of the products require no training or technical assistance; in many cases any necessary assistance is available from the product's developers or publishers. The product descriptions are organized into 12 major subject areas, including (1) aesthetic education, (2) basic skills, (3) early childhood education, (4) education and work, (5) educational equity, (6) evaluation, measurement, and needs assessment, (7) finance, productivity, and management, (8) guidance and counseling, (9) information utilization and dissemination, (10) postsecondary education, (11) social education/social science, and (12) teacher education. Six separate indexes list the products by subject, intended user, developer/author, geographic location of developer/author, media, and catalog page number. (Author/JG)
