HOW TO READ GLOSSARY CHARTS

There are different kinds of alternatives available in the presentation of topical content in a course. You are already familiar with the sequential presentation; it is used in most college textbooks, and in lectures based on such textbooks.

This community-classroom, as indicated above, uses a cyclical presentation of topical content. This approach was developed by Jakobovits and Gordon in 1974, in their investigations on the underlying nature of discourse (see Reading Source "I," Series IV, Vol. 1; and "C," Section 5.2.3). We shall call this approach "Matrix Presentation of Topics." The course content, which deals with studying community-building forces in social settings, is arranged conceptually into an integrated glossary chart in 15 segments (pp. 23-37).

The "glossary chart" is a conceptual diagram. The components are called "entries." Each entry consists of a title. For example, if you look at "Phase I Chart" (p.2 2 ) you notice that it is made up of 65 boxed entries. Each boxed entry carries a code number (in square brackets). This numbering system constitutes a matrix. Thus, leaving off the titles of each entry, the matrix of the chart assumes the following format:
