- Approach to Independent Study. New Dimensions in Higher Education. Number 13. Hatch, Winslow R., Comp. Richards, Alice L., Comp. Accountability Bibliographies College Students Competency Based Education Discussion Groups Higher Education Honors Curriculum Independent Study Individualized Programs Libraries Needs Assessment Professional Education Program Evaluation Self Directed Groups Seminars Student Motivation Student Participation Teaching Methods Summaries of studies or experiments dealing with some aspect of independent study are compiled in this report. The papers include: (1) "The Future of Self-Directed Study," by Howard E. Gruber; (2) "Freshman Seminars at Harvard," by Eric W. Shaw; (3) "Independent Study in Honors Programs," by Philip I. Mitterling; (4) "Independent Study and the Academic Library," by Patricia B. Knapp; (5) "Independent Study at Knox College," by Rene N. Ballard; (6) "'Search' Behavior in Undergraduates," by Stephen Kaplan; (7) "Independent Study of Professional Education at Cornell," by L.B. Hixon; (8) "Self-Directed Student Groups and College Learning," by Leslie R. Beach; (9) "Student-Led Discussion Groups," by Clarence Leuba; and (10) "Introductory Seminar in American Government," by Victoria Schuck. The findings presented suggest that unless students and faculties are more critical about the nature of the inquiries made in independent study, their accomplishments are likely to be modest or disappointing. They indicate further that this learning experience should involve a total climate of learning. (LBH)
