● The Journal of
Industrial Teacher Education (JITE) has been published since 1963
and is issued four times annually. Published manuscripts are high-quality
guest articles, referred articles, "At Issue" essays, "Comments," reviews of
books/media and computer hardware and software in an "Under Review" section,
and special feature issues that report scholarly inquiry and commentary
broadly related to industrial and technical teacher education, military
training, and industrial training.

Of particular interest to
0900 educators is an article that appeared in JITE in Volume 38,
Number 4, by Keith W. Schmidli, Buffalo State College-State University of
New York that is titled:

among the many items found on this website is a compendium of Best Practices
in Higher Education that contains the following linked articles:
Active Learning
Assessment and Evaluation

● ERIC Digests
are short reports on topics of prime current interest in education, covering
a wide variety of topics targeted at teachers, administrators, policymakers,
and other practitioners, but generally useful to the broad educational
community. The former 16 subject ERIC Clearinghouse system was eliminated in
2003, and ERIC was massively reorganized, and most of the content at the
former ERIC sites (including the ERIC Digests) found new homes on the
internet. This site is striving to make it easy to find ERIC Digests that
have been produced prior to the end of the former ERIC system. ERIC Digests
are in the public domain and may be freely reproduced and disseminated in
any format. Text from ERIC Digests on this site are in the public domain and
may be used how ever you like. However, all other information on this site
is copyrighted and may not be used without permission. Please note that this
site is privately owned and is in no way related to any Federal Agency or
ERIC unit. This site exists to provide the text of the public domain ERIC
documents previously produced by ERIC. No new content will ever appear here
that would in any way challenge the ERIC service mark of the US Government.

An article found on ERIC
Digests that may be of interest to 0900 educators is:
"Recent Strategies for
Faculty Development. ERIC Digest", by Kathleen Alfano.

ERIC- The Educational Resources Information
Center has been given new life, and is currently sponsored by the
US Department of Education and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES).
This website is currently expanding online access to nearly 340,000
documents indexed 1966-1992 now available only on microfiche. ERIC
provides free access to more than 1.2 million bibliographic records of
journal articles and other education-related materials, and, if available,
includes links to full text. The user will find an alphabetical index
covering 1966 to the present.
A 2007 ERIC search using the keywords vocational
education found 60,627 results. A search using keywords
industrial and technical education found 4,269 results. A search
using keywords community college industrial and technical education
found 404 results. A search using keywords community college career
and technical education found 915 results. All searches included
abstracts and most had access to the full text.

● The National
Association of Industrial Technology (NAIT) is recognized as the
premier professional organization responsible for: 1.) the promotion of
industrial technology in business, industry, education, and government, 2.0
the accreditation of industrial technology programs in colleges,
universities, and technical institutes, and 3.) the certification of
industrial technologists and the recognition of their continued professional
development. The organization NAIT defines Industrial Technology as: a field
of study designed to prepare technical and/or management oriented
professionals for employment in business, industry, education, and
government. Industrial Technology is primarily involved with the management,
operation, and maintenance of complex technological systems while
Engineering and Engineering Technology are primarily involved with the
design and installation of these systems.
Discover more about NAIT at:
http://www.nait.org.html
●The Journal of
Industrial Technology is NAIT's peer-refereed scholarly publication.
All articles posted in the JIT denoted as "peer-refereed" have been
accepted after a double-blind peer referee process. The JIT offers a
traditional hard-copy submission and review process and an electronic
submission and review process (Note: The electronic review process has
been temporarily suspended as of 12/9/05.) The JIT publishes both
"peer-refereed" and "non-reviewed" scholarly and informational articles of
interest to Industrial Technology students and professionals in industry and
academia. Peer-refereed articles generally fit into two broad categories: 1)
original research (basic, applied and pedagogical) and 2) meta-analysis /
literature reviews of existing literature that provide a synthesis and
suggest new implications or directions for further research. Non-reviewed
articles are of general interest and are approved by one review board member
based on topical interest and general quality of the article. As an
online-only publication, the JIT continually posts new articles. New
volumes of the JIT begin each January; new issues are posted beginning in
January, April, July and October.

Industrial Technology online by going to the above NAIT website and clicking
in the left margin over the Journal hot button, or you go directly with:

An excellent starting point
to discover what is available on the excellent website is to visit an
index of current and past articles. To discover this index go to:

A sample of the more recent
articles that could be of major interest to 0900 educators are:
"Improving the Knowledge
Transfer Skills of Industrial Technology Students".
This article, written by Dr.
Kevin W. Stier is found in Volume 22, Number 2 edition (April 2006 through
June 2006). The author describes the underlying research project leading to
this paper as containing two objectives: 1.) to identify and/or develop
pedagogical strategies for teaching industrial automation that incorporate
the cognitive science principles relating to knowledge transfer. 2.) develop
and field test a specific unit of instruction for teaching the principles of
the Cartesian Coordinate System as applied to Computer Numeric Control (CNC)
machining center, industrial robots, and CMMs. The study revealed that three
principles are at the heart of knowledge transfer: 1.) instruction should
encourage students to learn conceptually, 2.) instruction should be
contextualized, and 3.) instruction should help students understand the
relationship between the relevant conceptual and procedural knowledge.
"Machinability: Employing
a Drilling Experiment as a Teaching Tool".
This article is found in
Volume 22, Number 1 (January 2006 through March 2006).
"Industrial Technology
Program Enhancement: The Importance of Strategic Planning"
"Linking TQM Culture to
Traditional Learning Theories".
These articles are both
found in Volume 21, Number 4 (October 2005 through December 2005).
"A Case Study of How to
Incorporate Cross-Functional Components in Industrial Technology Education:
Safety Metrics in the Classroom".
"A Cross-Disciplinary
Biotechnology Initiative: A New Frontier for Industrial Technology".
"A Short Preview of Free
Statistical Software Packages for Teaching Statistics to Industrial
Technology Majors".
The above three articles
are found in Volume 21, Number 2 (April 2005 through June 2005).
