The consumer education guide for industrial arts teachers was developed by a group of experienced teachers using the Consumer Education Curriculum Guide for Ohio, Grades K-12 as a reference. 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. Each section begins with a graphic representation of the basic concept covered, an overall objective for the section, and a statement of the rationale for teaching that section. Several objectives are included for each section. For each objective within a section, a table is presented which lists concepts and a clarification of the individual concepts as they can be applied to industrial arts. Following the table, generalizations related to the objective and suggested learning activities are listed. The guide contains a six-page teaching resource list of books, periodicals, pamphlets and booklets, audio-visual aids, film companies and sources, and agencies and organizations. Names of the members of Ohio's State Advisory Committee on Consumer Economic Education and of the Industrial Arts Consumer Education Committee, developers of the guide, are also included. (Author/MS)
