comparable programs, e.g. in Pontiac (see paragraphs 28 to 72). Through the 40's and early 50's, as the concept of community education evolved, the following characteristics were the significant ones: i) the community school recognised in actual programming the basic fact that education is a continuous process; ii) educational objectives were stated in terms of desired changes in behaviour; iii) educational activities, supported by appropriate instructional materials, were based upon the problems, needs, and( interests of those for whom they were planned; iv) the school served the community, and the community served the school; v) a local community provided a focal point for understanding other, larger communities of people; vi) the community school challenged school and community leaders. The Current Situation: Motives for a New Educational Reform 17. The community education movement suffered a set-back in the "cold war" in a competitive struggle with forces of science and technology. Many educators saw the danger of being surpassed by "eastern" competition which put the first Sputnik into orbit in 1957. The best strategy appeared to be a stronger emphasis on the technical and natural science disciplines of formal education. A reversal of this trend followed • towards the end of the 60's because of growing environmental and urban problems, increased mobility and wealth, racial conflicts and civil rights movements, and a polarisation of different social, cultural, economic and age groups. One of the typical'traits of those years included an enthusiastic belief in quantitative methods for problem solving and, at the same time, a general feeling of increased incompetence on the individual level to direct or steer the course of events even in personal or small group affairs. 18. As a countermovement, community education promised: more human and individualised approaches; the participation of citizens in planning and decision-making processes; the open school concept; life-long learning; co-ordination of cultural, educational, recreational and social services; increased educational choices and opportunities. It was in fact an exact replica of the community school movement after the Great Depression. The community was seen as the catalyst for finding a specific solution to all its problems. 32
GLOSSARY OF TERMS 19. Mainly for the non-American reader, a few of the most often used catch-words need to be explained: "Resources" is a word which appears in conjunction with facilities as well as human beings (teachers, professionals, etc.), institutions,commercial establishments, or economic and financial means. In the first case it usually is the community which uses the schools' facility resources; in the second, it most often applies to the school which uses community (human, institutional, etc.) resources. "Programs and agencies" in a few instances are a congruent set; but usually "program" connotes a limited, temporary approach to solve a certain problem with financial support from the government or school, while the "agency" is the organisational or administrative component. In contrast to Europe, where agencies are usually permanent, and programs appear and disappear, the link between program and agency in the United States is very much closer in that the agency often is eliminated when its major purpose, the program it serves, ceases to exist. "Project" in turn may be used to describe a sub-part of a program or a larger entity in which several programs are co-ordinated depending on the context in which it is used. "Decentralisation" is one of the principles which may be used in conjunction with decision-making processes, the provision of facilities and architectural design, but also in terms of educational methods. In each case, it means the subdivision of a larger unit into smaller more independent units, and often the delegation of a certain amount of power to the smaller unit. In spite of its comparatively decentralised educational system, a further delegation of decisionmaking power is widely discussed and implemented in the United States. "Charette", participatory method for involving users, experts and agencies in the decision-making or programming process, usually lasting several days or weeks. 33
