| Sumario: | The article describes the college-public school experimental programs of the United States containing both broad and specific implication for learning about learning. The problems selected for investigation have been proposed and defined within a working relationship established and developed by the staff members of George Peabody College for Teachers and the representatives of the cooperating school systems. These problems represent matters of vital concern to the participating schools, including the shortage of skilled personnel, the physical limitations of educational opportunities within school districts, overcrowding of existing facilities, and more effective use of materials of instruction. The requirements of the college have been largely dictated by those factors necessary to an effective evaluation of the experimentation. In the course of the evaluation of this project, information was gathered which related directly to the learning processes of the students enrolled. The findings suggest that attempts to develop special learning situations for talented young people should be based on a careful consideration of intrinsic motivational factors.
