TL;DR: This successful text provides an overview of the major areas of curriculum theory and offers teachers, student teachers and others the kind of understanding they need as a basis for the planning and execution of their work.
Abstract: This successful text provides an overview of the major areas of curriculum theory. It offers teachers, student teachers and others the kind of understanding they need as a basis for the planning and execution of their work. Such an awareness has become even more important since The Curriculum was first published, because of the increased understanding which has been acquired in the intervening years, and the accelerating shift towards more centralised control of the curriculum, resulting in the 1988 Education Act and the establishment of The National Curriculum in the United Kingdom. The revisions which the author has made to this third edition reflect and take account of major changes in the educational climate.

TL;DR: The history of parent education can be traced back to the founding of the United States to the present as mentioned in this paper, which dates almost from the founding to the early 1970s, and is operationally defined as the purposive learning activity of parents who are attempting to change their methods of interaction with their children for the purpose of encouraging positive behavior in their children.
Abstract: The present paper traces the history of parent education, which dates almost from the founding of the United States to the present. Parent education is operationally defined as the purposive learning activity of parents who are attempting to change their methods of interaction with their children for the purpose of encouraging positive behavior in their children. As is currently true, historically there have been many individuals, private and governmental organizations involved with educating large numbers of parents. The effectiveness of these efforts is difficult to discern. Research in parent education reflects similar trends in the behavioral sciences and education in general. The studies are becoming increasingly sophisticated and more accurately evaluate the spectrum of parent education. Criticism of past research is offered as are suggestions for improving the efficacy of future assessment attempts. Currently there are two major focal points emerging for parent education models; behavior modification and the use of specific curriculum which advocates democratic methods of child rearing. The definitive content of future programs is less certain than the probability that group discussion will be the dominant format. Parent education is not an independent discipline and is not likely to become one; albeit it will almost certainly receive increasing attention and emphasis within a variety of programs especially in the fields of education and mental health.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the role of values in business education and propose a philosophy of education with respect to value positions and discuss the need to develop teaching strategies that take into account differences in strengths and weaknesses between students in order for students to get the most out of their individual skills.
Abstract: The article examines the role of values in business education and proposes a philosophy of education with respect to value positions. The author notes that due to increasing political and ethical issues being raised in business there has become a growing interest to include a value-oriented aspect in the business education curriculum. He examines how values play a role in areas such as conflict management and discusses some of the conflict-handling modes which include; competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding and accommodating. He closes by discussing the need to develop teaching strategies that take into account differences in strengths and weaknesses between students in order for students to get the most out of their individual skills.

TL;DR: The field of curriculum studies has been undergoing a process of transformation in the United States as mentioned in this paper, which is referred to as the reconceptualization of curriculum theory and curriculum theory.
Abstract: WHAT SOME OBSERVERS HAVE DESIGNATED A “MOVEMENT” is visible in the field of curriculum studies in the United States. Some have termed it “reconceptualism,” others “the
new curriculum theory.” Both terms suggest more thematic unity among the curriculum
writing characterized as the “reconceptualization” than, upon close examination, appears to
exist. Nonetheless, some thematic similarities are discernible, though insufficient in number to warrant a characterization like “ideology” or composite, agreed-upon point of view.
What can be said, without dispute, is that by the summer of 1978, there will have been six
conferences and five books1 in the past six years which are indications of a socio-intellectual
phenomenon in this field, and a phenomenon which clearly functions to reconceptualize
the field of curriculum studies. Thus, while the writing published to date may be somewhat
varied thematically, it is unitary in its significance for the field. If this process of transformation continues at its present rate, the field of curriculum studies will be profoundly different
in 20 years time than it has been during the first 50 years of its existence.
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that the social status composition of high school was positively associated with the likelihood of attending a selective institution of higher education, and that college selectivity had total salutary effects on educational attainment, despite its depressant effect on undergraduate grade performance and academic
Abstract: Does where one goes to college depend on the kind of high school attended? And what are the consequences of attending a more or less academically selective college or university? These questions are evaluated separately for college men and women using longitudinal data from a national sample of youth who were high school sophomores in 1955, and controlling for individual family background, ability, and school curriculum. For males, but not females, the social status composition of high school was found to enhance one's prospects for attending a selective institution of higher education. College selectivity, in turn, had total salutary effects on educational attainment, despite its depressant effect on undergraduate grade performance and academic

TL;DR: ‘The anatomical basis of clinical medicine: An anatomy learning programme’ has been introduced into an evolving medical school curriculum in an attempt to optimize medical students’ enthusiasm to learn, rather than to be taught.
Abstract: Summary
In an attempt to optimize medical students’ enthusiasm to learn, rather than to be taught, ‘The anatomical basis of clinical medicine: An anatomy learning programme’ has been introduced into an evolving medical school curriculum. Initially, educational concepts were identified, the aims and goals clarified, then the learning process and its evaluation techniques were introduced. The programme encompasses the use of a specifically designed course guide, a weekly 35 mm topographic slide presentation, prosection by senior students and then peer-directed group tutorials under the guidance of teachers. Surgical and radiological teaching colleagues cooperate in reinforcing student understanding of the relevance of anatomical concepts and data to clinical medicine.
Students are encouraged to dissect personally, use the departmental museum as a learning centre, and at any time take advantage of freely available audiovisual aids. Tutorial situations are used by the students for self-evaluation, while promotional evaluation (an honours-pass-fail system) is based on the tutors’ assessments, two ‘on demand’ multiple choice, two laboratory identification and a final oral examination.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive, observation oriented introduction to the field of preschool, kindergarten and primary grade teaching, organized around four characteristics essential to effective teaching of young children; professional commitment, sensitivity to development, organizational and managerial skills and curriculum resourcefulness.
Abstract: This is a comprehensive, observation oriented introduction to the field of preschool, kindergarten and primary grade teaching. It is organized around four characteristics essential to effective teaching of young children; professional commitment, sensitivity to development, organizational and managerial skills and curriculum resourcefulness. Part 2 of the book presents three sets of paired chapters covering cognitive, physical and social development. The first chapter in each case summarizes what is known about that area of development and the second one shows how to observe and record behavior and ability in that area, and then describes how to plan developmentally sound lessons. This new edition offeres three new chapters: play, diversity and literacy and literature. In addition, a new discussion of co-operative learning has been added to the chapter on teaching techniques, and a discussion of children in poverty has been added to the chapter on issues and perspectives.
TL;DR: The authors examined the linguistic benefits of Latin in light of recent research which seems to document the relevance of Latin for building English vocabulary and reading skills and found that Latin students showed significant gains over the control group.
Abstract: This article examines the linguistic benefits of Latin in light of recent research which seems to document the relevance of Latin in building English vocabulary and reading skills Evidence is cited from eight educational projects in which an experimental group of students taking Latin, and a control group not taking Latin, were pretested, posttested, and compared with regard to English verbal skills In each case, the Latin students showed significant gains over the control group Other studies supporting these findings are cited, as well as projects presently being conducted These studies yield important pedagogical implications: (1) Educational administrators and curriculum specialists should consider the significance of Latin in improving language skills; (2) The language profession should assume the responsibility of disseminating information about this research; and (3) Responsible educators should combat the tendency to ignore research data for budgetary or other reasons
TL;DR: This paper conducted a survey with school psychologists in the state of Ohio and found that the priority level assigned by superintendents to particular tasks seemed contingent upon whether there was clear reference to children referred for evaluation or to the prevention of children's problems.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to determine whether differences in teachers' perceptions of their jobs primarily reflect differences in the teachers themselves, or whether the variance in attitudes also re2lects significant differeaces in the characteristics of schools as workplaces.
Abstract: This study was conducted to determine whether differences in teachers' perceptions of their jobs primarily reflect differences in the teachers themselves, or whether the variance in attitudes also re2lects significant differeaces in the characteristics of schools as workplaces. Data on seven dimensions of job satisfaction (teacher attitude's toward the school principal, curriculum, materials and procedures, colleagues, community attitudes toward education, teaching per se, and compensation) were collected from a questionnaire administered to 650 public school teachers in seven schools of a Midwest urban school district. Data analysis proceeded in two steps: (1) investigation of whether teachers in different schools have significantly different levels of job satisfaction. For all seven schools this significance did exist, indicating that the prediction of a teacher's job satisfaction necessitated knowing at which school the teacher worked; (2) Investigation of attributes affecting each dimension of job satisfaction. A priority specifications of characteristics believed to be determinants of each dimension of job satisfaction were made and compared to teacher questionnaire responses, and the resulting general themes presented. Teacher demographic characteristics and school characteristics explained only some variance in job satisfaction, suggesting a need for more detailed information on these characteristics and on the attitudes teachers bring to their jobs. Implications of the report indicate a need to recognize a multifaceted concept of job satisfaction, withsschool policies designed to take into account possible differential effects on various abrects of satisfaction. Tables presentins questionnaire results are appended. (MB)
