dc.description.abstractRaw data from the study was analyzed using the University of Oklahoma Computer System and software Statistical Analysis System (SAS) 1982 Program, analytical techniques principally involved measurement of frequency distribution and comparisons of data with that of the United States 1980 Census, and 1981 research data from the National Center for Educational Statistics to determine if the sample was consistent with that data. The data was then combined according to related items on the survey instrument to determine six composite profiles.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to determine a profile of Community Education candidates, assess the Community Education needs, and to develop a model for fulfilling the identified needs of the Lawton-Fort Sill Community members. The inspiration to develop this study arises from experiences in Southeast Asia with the civil government of Vietnam during the period July 1968 to July 1969.en_US
dc.description.abstractA survey form was distributed through the Postal System to every recorded address in the area.en_US
dc.description.abstractA program designed to satisfy the identified needs was then implemented. The derived profile information was then used in the development of the conceptual model.en_US
dc.description.abstractA derived model focuses on the need for implementing personnel to insure that they respond to the community values as practiced by the governing body in developing and instituting a viable program.en_US
dc.description.abstractWhile the language, social customs, and basic culture of the people differ from those of the people in this country, their aspirations and need for individual recognition and dignity are very similar. Not unlike the people of the United States of America, the Vietnamese have an individualistic sense of self worth. This played a major role in the degree of aid rendered by the multinational military forces operating in defense of democracy within the country's geographical borders. To address the case in point, in those villages where the military forces assessed the community needs according to their own values, without regard to the beliefs or desires of the elders of the community, the vast majority of the projects and supplies were later destroyed by the insurgents without resistance from the populace.en_US
