The enactment of ESEA Title I in 1965, resulting in a flood of new programs, provided fertile grounds for doctoral dissertation research on the education of the disadvantaged. The ERIC/IRCD staff, believing that much could be learned about doctoral research itself, about children, and about educational programs, decided to attempt to provide comprehensive collections of abstracts in those areas of special interest to the center. This document is the fifth in the series of publications entitled ERIC/IRCD Doctoral Research Series. The citations in this annotated bibliography have been divided among "Black Populations" and "Black-White Populations." Separate sections "Black Populations" focus on reading and language arts; self-concept; attitudes, aspirations, and behavior; parental and cultural influences; and vocation. Sections in "Black-White Populations" deal with reading and language arts; attitudes, aspirations, and self-concept; and miscellaneous other items. The bibliography is accessible by way of a subject, author, and institution index. (Author/JM)
