New Concepts on the Educational Horizon.
Gilchrist, Robert S.; Mitchell, Edna
Four dimensions in education provide a basis for discussing future horizons: (1) curriculum development, (2) teacher education, (3) administration and organization, and (4) research and development. These areas are interdependent, and one cannot be improved or changed without affecting the other areas. Within these areas, some of the broad changes being made that will mark the future of education are (1) the changing structure of education in terms of time spent in school, (2) classroom organization, (3) teacher roles, (4) recreation of the content and methods in curriculum, (5) revised administrative and organizational patterns, and (6) provisions for research and development. New and innovative facilities, advanced technical skills, and the knowledge now available will contribute markedly to future educational opportunities. However, immediate tasks for education are those created by the critical social problems of today, such as the problems inherent in poverty, discrimination, depersonalization, and urban sprawl. Solutions to these problems will be found as the weaknesses in education are eliminated through anticipated improvements. As new resources are utilized, in the construction of diverse, efficient, and humanized programs of education, many current social problems will be alleviated simultaneously. (Author/JH)
