The module is the fourth of a series of seven discrete modules designed to assist elementary school teachers in the development of a career education program or to enrich an already established program. Module 4 may be used separately or in conjunction with the other modules. The module contains four units which cover the topics of the purposes and techniques of child study, value clarification, and planning and designing a program of child study. Several non-test tools and techniques that can be utilized in child study are examined. Supplementary references for module 4 are also provided. (Author/LJ)
