The study describes a curriculum developed to train teachers to teach data processing at the high school, technical/vocational institute, or community college level, and to develop courses for undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of business administration, education, psychology, sociology, and science. A 20-page introduction deals with the setting, limitations, and organization of the study. A review of the related literature surveys general studies of data processing curricula and specific descriptions of related four-year degree programs in North Carolina. The curriculum description presents and discusses eight courses: principles of automatic data processing; FORTRAN programing; electronic data processing 1 and 2; COBOL programing; systems design and analysis; application of digital computers as an instrument for research; and automatic data processing for teachers. Two appendixes comprising 50 pages include data processing courses and catalog descriptions from sample four-year institutions, and detailed course outlines covering objectives, catalog descriptions, level, prerequisites, credit and content for the eight courses.
