Waldner in June of 1969. The committee decided that any guide developed should reflectthe position that the course is not to be a survey in the traditional sense, that areas should be identified for studies in depth and thatvarious opt_Lcns snould be open for these studies. Since other world-based courses may be elected by students to replaceworld history as a requirc- ment, it was decided that course content should not berestricted by other world based studies but could be a motivating factortoward individual student participation in the other courses as a secondelective. The chronological organization of the course has beenretained but with an increased emphasis upon contemporary affairs inAsia, Africa, and Latin America. Attention to pre-history and ancient times willbe limited. Since we are retaining the chronlogical historical methodfor this course, the cultural approaches should bedeveloped within the chronological framework and not be purely a contemporary regional type of areastudy. Humanities should be brought into the course as much astime allows for in-depth treatment. The guide identifies goals in terms of concepts andactivities for in-depth study. Effort has been made to identify the major purposefor each activity and to state as many activities aspossible in behavioral terms. Instructional resources for both teachers and ctudents have been identified and include both print and non-printmaterials so as to facilitate a truly multi-media program.
