This study undertakes to explore the extent to which students at the Elijah Mango College are involved in college decision making structures.
The whole process of “carrying” of major subjects was selected to crystallise the extent of this involvement. The varying patterns of meanings attributed by the students to this phenomena were explored.
By way of a theoretical contribution, the researcher synthesised features of interpretive and resistance theories in education to further explain this involvement.
The empirical component which is attendant on the theoretical elaboration undertakes to explore and capture the patterns of meanings that the students used as a rationale for their reflexive resp^ ,ses to the college decision making structures.
The epistemology underlying this investigation also enabled the researcher to gain a sensitivity towards the meanings formulated by the students. / Sociology / M.A. (Sociology)
