Abstract	This document, the third volume of the summative evaluation of "Man: A Course of Study" (MACOS), describes and evaluates the interviews which were conducted with MACOS students and teachers during the 1974-75 school year. Project staff members conducted and tape recorded 20-minute interviews with teachers and small groups of students three times during the school year in order to discuss course content, explore perceptions related to social studies courses, and encourage personal interaction between researchers and study participants. Transcripts were made of all taped interviews and all remarks or questions were identified by interviewer (I), teacher (T), or student (S). Code numbers were assigned to teachers and schools to preserve anonymity. Teachers were asked about problems and pleasures of teaching social studies, controversial issues, values derived from social studies courses, interactions with principals and other teachers, and inservice social studies workshops. Students were asked about social studies course relevance to their lives, knowledge of and attitudes toward other peoples' customs, and the advisability of studying controversial subjects in elementary school. Analysis of tallies of data from interviews indicated that teachers in both groups had problems working with groups of students and felt that additional inservice training would be helpful. Although students developed similar social studies skills, inquiry skills, and attitudes toward other cultures in both MACOS and non-MACOS classes, MACOS students tended to express a more favorable attitude toward social studies. Summary tabulations and figures are presented. (Author/DB)
