A total of 112 abstracts of research reports and bibliographies published during 1966-1985 by the Institute for Educational Research at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland are presented in English with accompanying Finnish titles. The abstracts constitute a review of higher education research at the Institute during the past two decades. A major part of this work has been closely linked with the reform of the higher education institution in Finland in the 1970s. The objective of this abstract catalogue is to disseminate research information abroad to promote exchange between the Institute and foreign research institutions and researchers in the field. Sixty-four of the 112 publications that are abstracted have come out in the Institute's Reports-series and 48 in the Bulletin-series. Included are researcher/author and subject indexes. The subject index is based on descriptors provided by researchers using the EUDISED thesaurus and the Finnish terminology of education. In addition to an English summary, an introduction explains the work of the Institute and lists six main topics of research interest. (SW)
