This report summarizes the results of a research study conducted to assess the intellectual development of students in the QUANTA Learning Community at Daytona Beach Community College (DBCC) (Florida) in the 1989-90 academic year. QUANTA is a freshman interdisciplinary program with 75 students and three faculty. Three courses--English, psychology, and humanities--are integrated into a common theme each semester. The faculty teaching the courses are involved in collaborative teaching and also teach the full-year sequence. QUANTA, which emphasizes active and collaborative learning, includes a mixture of average-ability students, honor students, and older, non-traditional students. The emphasis of the program is on making connections between disciplines and with other members of the learning community. Seventy-one ratable essays were obtained at the beginning of the fall 1989 semester--their mean Measure of Intellectual Development (MID) score was 2.94. The 61 ratable essays at the end of the term had a mean MID score of 3.17. More than half of the QUANTA students showed a positive change of one-third position or more in their intellectual development. (NB)
