Summary:
The purpose of the study was to develop a model of guidance services that would take into account the diversified needs of the new constituencies. The term "new constituencies" referred to three of the groups newest to higher education and urban community colleges. Namely, academically under-prepared, low income, and/or racial and ethnic minorities were the kinds of students considered. The major questions of the research problem to determine if guidance programs were adequately serving new constituencies were: (1) Are community colleges providing varied guidance services? (2) To what extent are new constituencies utilizing guidance services? (3) How do new constituencies evaluate guidance services? and (4) What are the essential components of guidance services for new constituencies? The crucial needs of the three constituency groups as identified from the research, coupled with a comprehensive review of the literature, formed the basis for the development of an administrative design for guidance services. The model was found to be especially applicable for use in urban community colleges comparable to those surveyed in the study.
