File Description [top]

The ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) database, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, is a bibliographic database that contains education-related documents and journal articles. Information in ERIC corresponds to two printed abstract/index journals: Resources in Education (RIE) and Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE). RIE announces some 14,000 documents each year, and CIJE announces some 20,000 journal articles, extracted from more than 750 serials.

The RIE subfile includes records of many different types of documents: research/technical reports, conference papers, conference proceedings, program descriptions, opinion papers, bibliographies, state-of-the-art reviews, legal/legislative/regulatory materials, dissertations, teaching guides, curriculum materials, lesson plans, course descriptions, pamphlets, guides, and other "fugitive" materials.

The ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS) makes available most of the documents announced in RIE in reproduced paper copy and/or microfiche. The CIJE subfile includes records of journal articles and other items contained in copyrighted serial publications. CIJE covers approximately 750 professional journals that are either education-related or that regularly contain education-related articles.

  /AB    Educating the 21st century learner requires utilizing innovative 
    strategies. Student behavior must be addressed appropriately to allow 
    educators to fulfill their responsibility to America's students. Creative 
    disciplinary methods motivate all students to develop behavior traits that 
    will assist them with their academic and personal success. The purpose of 
    this essay is to investigate alternative effective disciplinary 
    consequences. Educating the 21st century students entails numerous and 
    somewhat overwhelming challenges. An increasing number of students enter 
    academia with deficits stemming from poverty to language barriers. 
    Nevertheless, schools cannot shirk their responsibility. Schools must 
    educate the ever-changing student with less resources and higher stakes due 
    to state and nationally imposed accountability standards. Schools must be 
    able to meet the challenge of educating all students in an environment that 
    is safe and allows the student to feel secure (Hawkins, Catalono, 
    Kosterman, Abbott, & Hill, 1999.). Historically schools have been viewed as 
    the place to address the ills of society (Mayer, 1995; Walker et al., 
    1996.).
