ERIC Tricks

Student Attitudes
Use this term to find studies of the student perspective. But don't forget parent attitudes, teacher attitudes, administrator attitudes...ERIC has a subject term for all of them.
Curricular materials, texts, etc.
Use the Publication Type: Guides
"Program Evaluation" OR "Program Descriptions" OR "Program Development" OR "Program Effectiveness"
All about programs.
NOT DE "Foreign Countries"
Nothing against other countries, but let's say you want to focus on the United States.
DE "Teaching Methods" OR DE "Educational Methods" OR DE "Educational Strategies" OR DE "Teaching Styles"
When you want to know how to teach.
