The University

Studies of university outreach programs have reported on recruiting efforts, adult education, extension courses, etc. There appears to be no research on interaction of academic institutions and multi-ethnic communities, or of students' involvement in community affairs. This study investigated awareness of cross-cultural issues of students and community leaders. 119 students in a Southern California university, departments of Education, Pan-African Studies, Psychology, and Sociology and 19 local community leaders responded to a questionnaire asking about awareness of issues, perceived role of the university, and knowledge of leaders in each sector. Students identified fewer issues than community leaders; community leaders foresaw a larger role for the university. Neither group recognized leaders of the other. Possible responses by the university to identified concerns are considered.

Academic Year

The National Association for Gifted Children has published a study of Initial and In-service Teacher Training in England, Scotland and Wales, in their special area, during the Academic Year 1981–82. Entitled “Teaching Able and Gifted Children”, the study was compiled by Frank Sherwood, the Association's Education Officer. Questionnaires were sent to all Colleges and University Departments of Education and to Local Education Authorities, asking them for the principles they followed in this aspect of training and for details of resources and courses provided. Broad conclusions from the response, by more than half of the Colleges and Authorities, are drawn by Mr. Sherwood.
