WITHIN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, LITERATURE ON EDUCATION OF THE "CULTURALLY DISADVANTAGED" HAS EXPANDED TREMENDOUSLY. LITERATURE ON ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE AMONG THE CULTURALLY DISADVANTAGED HAS PROLIFERATED. AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO SYNTHESIZE SUCH LITERATURE AND TO PLACE IT IN A PROPER PERSPECTIVE. ITS AIM WAS TO AID THE PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATOR…

OVER A PERIOD OF 21 YEARS THE HORACE MANN-LINCOLN INSTITUTE HAS UNDERGONE MANY CHANGES. ITS ORIGINAL PURPOSE, FIELD EXPERIMENTATION, WAS SOMEWHAT FORMALIZED INTO ACTION RESEARCH, THE IDEA BEING THAT RESEARCH IN CONJUNCTION WITH ACTION MIGHT AMOUNT TO AN EDUCATIONAL FORM OF THE WAR-TIME "OPERATIONS RESEARCH." GRADUALLY, THE INSTITUTE…

A VOLUNTEER, EXTRA-CURRICULAR PROGRAM FOR GIFTED STUDENTS IS DESCRIBED. TWO MAIN PURPOSES ARE--TO INTEREST AND STIMULATE GIFTED STUDENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND BROADENING OF THEIR PERSPECTIVES IN THE SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS FIELDS AND TO ENCOURAGE THESE STUDENTS TO UNDERTAKE A PROJECT IN THE FIELDS OF SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS, IN THE NATURE OF…

The general purposes of this project were to test microteaching procedures for teacher training and to study relations between the process of teaching and its outcome. The project made use of "cued" video models (a short peep being superimposed whenever the model demonstrated a goal-related behavior), videotape self-feedback with self-evaluation…

AN EXAMINATION OF 29 STUDIES REVEALS A GREAT VARIATION IN THE PROCEDURES AND FINDINGS OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS INTO EXPERIMENTAL EFFORTS IN JUNIOR COLLEGE CURRICULA AND INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURE. HOWEVER, THE STUDIES USUALLY DID ONE OF FOUR THINGS--(1) CONSIDERED PROGRAMS AT A NUMBER OF INSTITUTIONS, (2) SUMMARIZED THE RATIONALE AND PROCEDURE OF AN…

THIS CONFERENCE ON EXPERIMENTATION AND INNOVATION DEALT WITH THE FOLLOWING TOPICS--(1) "EXPERIMENTAL COLLEGES IN AMERICA," AN OVERVIEW OF THE DIFFICULTIES AND DANGERS OF INNOVATION, (2) "THE EXPERIMENTAL COLLEGE AT BERKELEY," DESCRIBING A "PROBLEMS" APPROACH TO AVOID THE "DOMINATION OF... THE ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE," (3) "THE LIBRARY-COLLEGE,"…

Describes the planning work of the National Research Development Corporation. The planning approach looks across and beyond the boundaries of existing academic and industrial categories to uncover opportunities for the generation of projects at an early stage. (WM)

This document describes plans for a project investigating the introduction of English as a second language in Swedish schools beginning with the first grade. (English is now introduced as a compulsory foreign language in grade 4.) The primary aim of the Project is "to generally illustrate the effects which occur when the total number of…
