The capacity for independence, the capacity for collaboration, and student personalities will be the main variables in a proposed study. To specify in greater detail which approach to the problem would be most fruitful, a review of the literature was made and the parties involved were interviewed. The study then focused on several questions for investigation. It is expected that the work will be composed of two rather extensive survey investigations and a few intensive studies. The intensive studies will be done on the lower and middle forms, the senior forms and secondary schools, and the post secondary schools, especially in the teacher training sector. (JY)
