Abstract
- This product development report is one of 21 such reports, each dealing with the developmental history of a recent educational product. Discussed here is the Developmental Economic Education Program (DEEP), which is focused on developing economic education programs to improve the understanding of economics in the nation's schools. The target population consists of all students capable of learning in typical school settings, kindergarten through grade 12. The rationale and objectives of DEEP are presented; personnel involved in school districts and procedures of implementing the program are outlined. Organization, format, and content of DEEP materials are discussed with an emphasis on continuing adaptation and development of materials. A history of development and key personnel gives background in some detail regarding original planning, modifications, and attention to priorities. Diffusion and adoption of the materials are discussed. Tables reveal test results before and after materials usage in Pittsburgh schools. Summarizing information regarding the program for product dissemination, evaluation procedures and an overview concludes this report. An appendix provides a list of other products for which Product Development Reports have been prepared. (JMB)
