The concept of industriology is based on the premise that children should be exposed to a comprehensive study of industry in existing industrial arts facilities with selected instructional materials. The concept has four phases, of which this one, The Development and Structure of Industry, is the first. Other phases cover Basic Elements and Processes of Industry, Modern Industries, and Vocational and Occupational Guidance. For each phase, four instructional aids were developed through research and trial testing in high schools, and are still subject to evaluation and revision. This study guide, one of the four aids for this phase, includes studies of the history and development of industry, four general types of industries which make up the industrial complex and six basic activities typical of most industries. Other documents in this series are available as VT 010 313, VT 010 290, and VT 010 315. (CD)
