The World Forum. Interim Report.
Twelker, Paul A.; And Others
The World Forum program gives college students an opportunity to explore a particular problem of personal and/or social consequence in the context of its anticipated alternative futures. This report explicates the nature of the program and describes the evaluation results of the developmental tryout. The goals of the program, developmental procedures, guidelines for planning, and the planned and implemented schedules are outlined. The actual program evaluation is a summary of the data collected from a questionnaire administered to participating students, along with student comments and an interpretation of data. Essays on "what is the problem with Middle College" are reproduced, an attendance record listed, and responses to questions in personal interviews are presented. A section on future directions contains statements of goals under review which are defined and elaborated. Four appendices -- world forum promotional techniques, evaluation forms, information to participants, program materials, and unused materials -- are omitted but are available from the program staff. A related document is SO006886. (Author/KSM)
