Summary:
The problem to be investigated in this study was to determine: (1) if there were free cultural events in Jacksonville, Florida, which were appropriate for public education; and (2) if these events could be coordinated at the policy-making level in such a way as to enhance public education. The following research questions were addressed: (1) What was offered free in the community? ( 2) What kinds of events were offered? (3) Who offered these events? (4) What was the purpose of these events? and (5) How frequently were the events offered? The study was needed in order to determine the availability of cultural events free to the public in Jacksonville, Florida, and to relate the findings of the study to the curriculum of the local community college. It involved the examination of a set of complex and interrelated phenomena, including data from a variety of sources . The methodologies involved historical and survey research, plus descriptive statistical analyses. Surveys were used to obtain data related to the attitudes and opinions of cultural leaders in Duval County regarding cultural activities. Their views of Jacksonville's cultural life provided a measure of contemporary values. Several recommendations Here made as a result of this study. The recommendations are: 1. More effort should be made to coordinate activities of the cultural community of Jacksonville . 2. The community college should make better use of the free cultural opportunities in Jacksonville as an adjunct to its curriculum. 3. The community college should coordinate its cultural presentations with those of the community. 4. The community college should endeavor to include within its free cultural presentations, at least to some extent, areas with less popular appeal.
