An introductory chapter touches on the broad range of economic, educational, social, and technological impacts which community colleges have upon their service areas. Chapter 2 discusses the following topics concerning planning and managing a study: choosing a project leader; determining the preliminary scope of the project; involving constituencies; designing the study with respect to data-collection tools, sampling, personnel considerations, and scheduling; and managing the study. Data collection procedures are discussed in Chapter 3. The section on survey instruments covers questionnaire design, use of open- or closed-ended items, wording and arrangement of items, pilot testing, distribution of costs, and follow-up studies; in addition, this chapter deals with record searches and interviews. Chapter 4 describes the tabulation, analysis, and dissemination of study data. Appendices contain the following: record search forms, examples of survey questionnaires and cover and follow-up letters, and an overview of the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems outcomes structure. A bibliography is included. (MB)
