Profiles for all curriculum research and development projects being sponsored wholly or in part by the Schools Council as of June 1, 1972, and a number due to start in 1973 are provided in a loose-leaf format. These profiles are intended as a brief introduction to the work of the Council's research and development projects and are grouped under the following twelve broad subject headings: English, Humanities, Languages, Creative Studies, Mathematics, Science, Inter-related Studies, Special Education, Welsh, School and Community, School Organisation and Resources, and Examinations. Within these groups, projects are arranged by primary, and secondary grades. Each profile includes the name and address of the director, the duration of funding, the age range concerned, and the grant provided. A summary of the area of inquiry, the procedures used, and the results of research obtained or to be obtained are included. Where applicable, a list of published materials, including ordering information, is appended. Five projects financed wholly by the Nuffield Foundation but which are closely linked to Schools Council projects are included. There is a fold-out summary chart and a project index. Related documents are ED 058 100 and ED 059 911. (Author/RM)
