The Scandinavian Study Circle: An Idea for the U.S.?
Kurland, Norman D.
College Board Review, n114 p20-25 Win 1979-80
The Danes and the Swedes have perfected a form of true community education--the study circle. Sparked by social and political issues, these discussion groups have become an integral part of the democratic process in these countries. The history, theory, and possibilities for American use are outlined. (Author/MLW)
