Critical Thinking and Decision-Making Skills through Economic Education. Prospectus.
Agency for Instructional Technology, Bloomington, IN.

Two double-sided videodisks present the same visual images as the video and also include enhancements that permit learners to interact with the material. The project also offers a comprehensive teacher training component, and a variety of print materials for teachers and trainers. The prospects outlines additional information about the project including: an overview, a rationale, a foundation of success, series goals, series content, project components, summative evaluation, operational aspects of the project, and 11 references.
