- Description
- Episode Description
- Dr. Houle and guest Earl Hargett, president of the Northeast Mississippi Junior College, describes ways in which adult students continue to learn. Where do they receive their educations? The answers are extremely varied. They range from reading to ETV courses, and include professional associations, lectures, concerts, travel, museums, schools and colleges, and even craft groups. The two men point out that it is important to make these resources available to many people, because an informed person will be a better parent, worker, and citizen.

- Series Description
- The Inquiring Mind is quite different from most of the series that have been distributed by NET. It is a comprehensive attempt to explain how and why we learn; it might almost be looked upon as an attempt to analyze a typical viewer of ETV and NET. This is not, however, a series that describes cut-and-dried methods of study, or that differentiates between proper and irrelevant reasons for studying. Rather, it tells often in their own words the stories of men and women who have, for various reasons and in various ways, continued their educations past their school days. When he has seen the twelve half-hour episodes, the viewer has a fascinating picture of the varieties of learning experiences, and indeed may well be motivated to continue his own education. He will certainly be better able to understand himself, and to make use of the things he hears and sees around him. Dr. Cyril O. Houle, a specialist in adult education, is the host for each episode. He combines discussion with distinguished guests with a direct presentation of some of the conclusions that can be drawn from their comments. Thanks to this format, the series escapes both the static quality of the uninterrupted lecture and the confusion of random and unanalyzed conversation. The 12 episodes that comprise this series were originally recorded on videotape. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
