This annual report contains resumes of research projects, exemplary and innovative projects, and curriculum development projects. Projects were administered by state departments of education through research coordinating units (RCUs) in fiscal year 1978 and funded under sections 131, 132, and 133 of the Vocational Education Act of 1963 as revised by the Education Amendments of 1976. Section 1 presents project descriptions alphabetically by state, within state by legislative section, and alphabetically by title within sections. Resumes follow this format: accession number, project title, director(s), contracting organization, funding period, fiscal year funding, explanatory note, administering agency, contract or state control number, descriptors (subject terms), identifiers (additional identifying terms), and abstracts. The abstracts follow guidelines adapted from the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) Processing Manual; subject terms are selected from the Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors. Section 2 contains a subject index. Lists of State Directors of Vocational Education and Directors of RCUs are appended. (YLB)
