Trends in American Indian Education: A Synthesis and Bibliography of Selected ERIC Resources.

Overview & Synopsis

Approximately 200 resources which appeared in "Resources in Education" and "Current Index to Journals in Education" from January 1981 to June 1983 have been compiled into an annotated bibliography covering aspects of American Indian education including curriculum development, culture, counseling, student development, testing, achievement, adult education, Indian women, higher education, status of Indian education, and program effectiveness. The monograph presents background information, provides a synthesis which highlights certain documents, identifies issues and trends, and suggests possible implications for the future of Indian education. The first bibliography section, arranged by ERIC accession number, contains approximately 150 abstracts of documents appearing in "Resources in Education" and citations that include author(s), title, sponsoring and/or originating agency, publication date, pagination, language, publication type, alternate sources of the document, and descriptor and identifier terms. These documents are available for reading at over 750 ERIC microfiche collections nationwide and/or may be obtained in microfiche or paper copy by using the attached order form. The second section contains over 50 citations and annotations of journal articles announced in "Current Index to Journals in Education". Entries in this section can be found in the periodicals cited. The final section consists of a subject index for all citations. (Author/NEC)
