Abstract | Mendocino College (California) is participating in the national Change in Liberal Education Project, which attempts to design comprehensive liberal arts curricula around a single unifying topic. The program at Mendocino focuses on the World Food Crisis, an area of study which is well-suited to the agricultural character of the local community. In order to achieve consensus on the curriculum goals of the program, the planning team participated in a modified Delphi study. Three goal categories--Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Attitudes and Values--were considered separately, and formed a basis for further development of specific instructional objectives in each of the related disciplines of the project. An explanation of the Delphi technique employed and the results obtained in one of the goal categories, Knowledge, are included in the document. The author closes with a brief statement of the intended outcomes of the college's 36 credit hour program, which includes courses in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. (LO) |
