Abstract
The author entered a small community of black students who had dropped out of the South African education system and who were participating in the development of an alternative education programme. The purpose of the investigation was to identify (a) the factors believed to have played a major role in fostering alienation in the traditional school setting, and (b) the factors that played a part in the development of a psychological awareness of power in these students, during the 1976 Soweto riots and 1980 school boycotts, and during the alternative education programme. The findings of a multimethod measurement procedure were used as a basis for evaluating and developing the alternative programme in which the students participated, and for identifying educational practices aimed at enabling individuals to achieve a sense of personal power, thereby enhancing their social and psychological well-being.
