THE GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT IS TO EFFECT CURRICULUM CHANGE IN INDUSTRIAL ARTS. DURING THE FIRST PHASE, COVERED BY THIS REPORT, EFFORTS WERE DIRECTED TOWARD CONCEPTUALIZING A STRUCTURE OF INDUSTRY AS A BASIS FOR CONTENT IN INDUSTRIAL ARTS, AND TRANSLATING THIS STRUCTURE INTO A SYLLABUS WHICH OUTLINES A JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS. TO ACCOMPLISH THESE IT WAS NECESSARY TO DEVELOP A RATIONALE WHICH WAS REVISED AS A RESULT OF CONSIDERATION BY AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE, TASK FORCE GROUPS, AND RESPONSES FROM 100 LEADERS IN EDUCATION WHO ANSWERED A DETAILED QUESTIONNAIRE. THE RESULTING RATIONALE (VT 003 203) WAS USED IN DISSEMINATION LECTURES. FEEDBACK FROM THESE WAS A DETERMINANT IN DEVELOPING DAILY INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES (VT 003 202), A TEACHING PROGRAM FOR"INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY, THE WORLD OF CONSTRUCTION" (VT 003 210), AND A DETAILED OUTLINE OF THE STUDENT'S READING ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF THE PROGRAM (VT 003 204). A COPY OF THE RATING SCALE USED IN SOME OF THE DISSEMINATION SESSIONS AND A SUMMARY OF RESULTS ARE INCLUDED. (EM)
