Curriculum of Attainments. Final Report.
Peterson, Gary W.
The final report describes a project at the Florida State University at the end of its third year and an assessment of the degree to which project goals were attained. The project goals were to: (1) establish mastery standards for degree programs; (2) create open, time-variable educational programs; (3) verify that the program product can serve as a paradigm for the cost-effective use of educational personnel and technology; (4) demonstrate and investigate the characteristics of the Curriculum of Attainments learning environment; (5) establish a more direct relationship between the curriculum and the world of work; and (6) demonstrate a strategy for curriculum reform in mass higher education. The attainment of each goal is analyzed. It was found that some goals were achieved at a level high above the minimum level of expectation for the project, while others remain incomplete. General student outcomes are also reported, as are the author's comments and conclusions about the project and its implications for transfer to other institutions. (Author/MSE)
