| Abstract: | Students at Macalester College were given the opportunity to participate in an experimental program, the Inner College, that permitted complete freedom in what they studied, how long they studied, and assessment of their studies. Prior to the onset of the program, and six months later, the participants and a matched control sample were tested with an achievement test, a personality test, and a values test. Participants in the project had different attitudes, values, and aspirations than the controls, and most seemed to be identifiable as persons who needed a learning and a living atmosphere better suited to their idiosyncratic needs and proclivities than provided within the traditional structure. |
