- Abstract
The article presents information on a dissertation titled "Some Probable Outcomes of Partial Self-Direction in Tenth-Grade Biology." The method followed by self-directed groups was as follows. The teacher announced the topic to be discussed in the class. The teacher and students spent ten to thirty minutes in the class to explore the possibilities of the topic for class and individual project studies. Students handed over written outlines of the problems which each wished to undertake. The teacher examined these outlines and suggested changes if needed. Students were at liberty to work in laboratory, library, parks or elsewhere. Students then came together and each one gave a written report of his individual work or the teacher led the class to prepare a topical summary of the class findings.
