Research in Business Education


            
             A significant development during the past fifteen years is the attention accorded research by professional organizations in business education. The coordination of effort and encouragement provided by these groups of research-minded people appear most valuable. In 1951 Delta Pi Epsilon, the United Business Education Association, and the National Association of Business Teacher Training Institution s joined in organizing a Research Foundation. One important contribution has been the study of needed research in business education (69).
             In 1952 Delta Pi Epsilon began its research abstract series. This series, published annually in cooperation with other professional o0rganionts, abstracts the more important studies (26). These abstracts prove especially helpful to the research worker. The Central Region Group of Supervisors and Teacher Trainers of Distributive Education formed a research committee in 1956 and began several statewide studies. The Joint Committee on Coordination and Integration of Research in Business Education initiated a series of efforts aimed at disseminating results of research in a form usable by classroom teachers, a most necessary and previously neglected step in the research program. .
             General Business and Curriculum.
             Carmichael (9) examined the philosophy of teacher-pupil planning and recorded the pedagogical devices implementing the philosophy in the classroom. He concluded that the development of democratic citizenship through teacher-pupil planning was necessary to justify the inclusion of business education in the curriculum. Jennings (32) determined the potential contributions of business education to general education by developing problem areas--16 different areas--to be used as the basis for core activities suitable to general education. He devised instructional units and analyzed the contributions of business education to each area. Price (59) surveyed 1884 institutions of higher learning and found 500 courses in consumer education.
