The guide suggests learning activities for consumer economics that can be used in office occupation education programs. The guide is organized in six sections, each dealing with one of the following basic concepts: (1) the economic system, (2) income procurement, (3) consumer behavior determinants, (4) consumer alternatives, (5) roles, rights, and responsibilities, and (6) community resources. The subject areas of accounting, basic business, clerical, and clerk stenographer are included. Occupations within the subject areas are identified by Dictionary of Occupational Titles numbers. Each section begins with a graphic representation of the basic concept covered. Several objectives are included for each section. For each objective within a section, a table is presented which lists concepts, subject areas, suggested learning activities, and suggested resources. A five-page bibliography includes teacher references, books, pamphlets, instructional materials, practice sets, filmstrips, films, and bulletin board materials. Names of the members of Ohio's State Advisory Committee on Consumer Education and of the committee of business educators who developed the guide are listed. (S)
