An Investigation Of Trends Towards Departmentalization In The Elementary Schools, Donald R. Breitenfeldt
An Investigation Of Trends Towards Departmentalization In The Elementary Schools, Donald R. Breitenfeldt
Graduate Student Research Papers
There have been many organizational plans, including the departmental, intended to improve the "self-contained classroom" so as to increase the child's intellectual development without hindering his personal-social development. It may be that one or more of the new plans will improve the self-contained classroom. Research evidence, not plain argument, must be relied upon to provide the answers needed. There is very little research evidence to support the claims for any elementary school plan, the self-contained classroom plan not excepted.

Through understanding the pressures of our society on the jobs we do, we can gain knowledge enabling us to use more of our intellectual resources and thus to plan better for today while looking to the future.
