Description
The problem to be investigated in this study was to determine:
(1) if there were free cultural events in Jacksonville, Florida, which
were appropriate for public education; and (2) if these events could
be coordinated at the policy-making level in such a way as to enhance
public education.
The following research questions were addressed: (1) What was
offered free in the community? ( 2) What kinds of events were offered?
(3) Who offered these events? (4) What was the purpose of these
events? and (5) How frequently were the events offered? The study was needed in order to determine the availability of
cultural events free to the public in Jacksonville, Florida, and to
relate the findings of the study to the curriculum of the local community
college. It involved the examination of a set of complex and
interrelated phenomena, including data from a variety of sources . The
methodologies involved historical and survey research, plus descriptive
statistical analyses. Surveys were used to obtain data related
to the attitudes and opinions of cultural leaders in Duval County regarding cultural activities. Their views of Jacksonville's cultural
life provided a measure of contemporary values. Several recommendations Here made as a result of this study. The
recommendations are:
1. More effort should be made to coordinate activities of the
cultural community of Jacksonville .
2. The community college should make better use of the free
cultural opportunities in Jacksonville as an adjunct to its curriculum.
3. The community college should coordinate its cultural
presentations with those of the community.
4. The community college should endeavor to include within its
free cultural presentations, at least to some extent, areas with less
popular appeal.
