DEVELOPMENT OF PROGRAMS FOR THE TRAINING OF COMMUNITY JUNIOR COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS AND STAFF TO ASSIST THE DISADVANTAGED STUDENT: MOTEC-JC AT FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY
- Date Issued:
- 1974
- Summary:
- This study is directed at the compilation of materials, ideals, and developments which resulted from the federally funded program entitled, "Moving On to Enrollment and Completion of Junior College" (MOTEC-JC). The purpose of this investigation is to identify specific aspects of raw data obtained through the research and training program of MOTEC-JC and to analyze through descriptive procedures such selected evidence with the intention of providing a complete history of the origin, development, and administrative instructional purpose of MOTEC-JC at Florida Atlantic University. The significance of this study lies in the inherent value of the compilation of a single historical journal as the record of a movement which may be used to generate interest and guidance in the future development of programs for low-income and minority students at community junior colleges. Long-range research beyond the limits of the present investigation may finally answer general questions of future program initiation and survival. Of primary concern here is the evident need for the documentation of the materials, ideas, and developments which resulted from the federally funded research-action project designed to recruit, enroll, and educate low-income and minority groups in community colleges. Consequently, the formation of a plan proposing a number of follow-up studies should serve as a model for measuring the impact of MOTEC-JC's activities on community junior colleges projected for a twenty-five year period. The present study projects a five year model which should be revised and amplified at succeeding intervals. The twenty-five year projection is necessary because by that time MOTEC-JC participants will either have made their major contribution or completed their professional careers. Such long-range evaluation has been noticeably lacking in American education. This dissertation is a first step toward implementing this logical and needed approach to action research.
