This collection of papers, consisting of six reports, is the result of a research project during which vocational educators from the United Kingdom traveled to the Federal Republic of Germany to examine the ways in which secondary school students in that country learn about the world of work. Included in the volume are the following reports: "The Secondary School System of the Federal Republic," by Russ Russell; "Arbeitslehre in the Federal Republic of Germany," by J. Woppel; "Concept and Experimental Models for the Teaching of Arbeitslehre in the Rheinland-Pfalz," by Paul Pardall; "Multi-Subject Teaching Unit: Vocational Orientation," by Staatliches Schulamt, Stuttgart; "Arbeitslehre in Baden-Wurttemberg and Berlin," by John Perry; and "The New School Subject," by Stephen Castles and Wiebke Wustenberg. A glossary concludes the volume. (MN)
