Seven problem areas where research is needed critically at the two-year institution level are identified: (1) establish reliability and stability of MIS/data base; (2) find reliable predictive instruments and/or formulae; (3) analyze support services and academic assistance objectives; (4) develop research methods to evaluate curricula; (5) investigate special problems of instructing adult populations; (6) develop concepts, tools and methods for tracking student progress through and beyond institutional programs; and (7) define, assess and use concepts and measurement of community needs for college educational services. Sub-categories of problems within each area are also articulated. (For related document, see JC 740 034.) (KM)
