Case Studies in Phenomenology of Integration: Knowledge and Self

This study examines how three senior level students in a small mid-west bible college integrated information from their classes and personal experiences during their four year educational experience. The research report which consists of three case studies is designed to allow "naturalistic generalizations" about integrative strategies used by college students. Three different strategies for integrating information are described; two levels of integration are also described: knowledge (academic) and self (world view). There is some indication that other students integrate information by some variation of these strategies, i.e. integration is not apparently only "individualistic." Information for the case studies was gathered through in-depth interviews.
