In the western Pacific Ocean north of the equator, the far-flung islands of Micronesia extend across an area as large as that of the United States. Most of this area is administered by the United States as a trusteeship granted by the United Nations after World War II. Having been governed in turn by three other world powers— Spain, Germany, and Japan— the 91,000 Micronesian inhabitants are now at last in the process of working out their own political future. This book, a thorough, scholarly study of the development of the legislative process in the Trust Territory, focuses on the Congress of Micronesia, the legislature destined to carry the burden of the political development in the Ter...

Abstract: The main goal of an Individual Learning Package (ILP) is to assist teachers in creating learning environments that are more humanized. ILP's should permit students to learn at their own unique rates, to have alternative ways to meet stated goals, to plan their own learning sequences, and to be successful with varying levels of self-initiative and self-direction. Presenting the ILP approach to instructional management through curriculum design, the curriculum components are: what will be learned (concept, skill and value statements), what changes will occur (learning objectives), what will facilitate those changes (IL materials and activities), how evaluation can help (pre-,self- and post-evaluation), and finally, future goals. Organizing the ILP components and evaluating for ILP improvement are discussed.
