How Television Is Affecting The Lives Of Sixth Graders In Kalamazoo – A Report From The Children, Charles R. Calhoun

Masters Theses

The Problem and Its Background

Audio-Visual Aids

The attention of children is attracted greatly to most of the objects and events they see and hear. Hence they become aware of their environments and learn chiefly through the experiences that come to them through the visual and auditory receptors. As a result educational programs are designed to take advantages of these facts. Audio-visual aids have therefore brought reality into the classroom by making maximal use of the audio-visual senses.

The extensive use of audio-visual aids in classroom teaching is in part evident in the number of motion-picture projectors in the high …

Masters Theses

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

It is common knowledge that education consists of more than training for academic achievement. It consists of teaching whole individuals how to live effectively in their social environments.

A Study Of Factors Involved In Organizing And Administering A Student Activity Program For Tyson Junior High School, Joy Coulter Bauch

Masters Theses

(From Chapter I) In a time when public education is being adversely criticized on all sides by those who would find fault with any aspect of our public schools (apparently more for the sake of sensationalism and publicity than for constructive criticism), we must always be alert to accept the challenge to better our schools, maintain deep-rooted convictions concerning the education of our American youth, and strive to experiment and put into practice those concepts which may lead to better schools, better teachers, and a better educated American public.

A Study Of A High School Marriage And Family Course, Wendell P. Hill

Masters Theses

Chapter I

The Problem and Its Background

The Objectives of Education

It is recognized that the public school is designed to do more than develop academic competence.¹ The school must also develop emotional and social maturity in its charges. If the public school fails to take cognizance of the importance of these latter two objectives, it will fail also in meeting some of the more important objectives of education. A recent report of the Educational Policies Commission of the National Education Association supports this viewpoint clearly.

The Sociometric Technique With A Seventh-Grade Class In Social Studies And English, Cleo Chapekis

Masters Theses

Chapter I

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

Man is a social or group animal. With few exceptions all the activities in which he indulges depend on the cooperation, presence, and in many cases the assistance of other men. Thus it can be seen that man is likely to seek the association of others so that his activities may be carried on more effectively.

The social function of man is illustrated in the comment of Cole and Bruce, that follows:¹

"From the moment the child is born, and never ceasing thereafter throughout his life, his social environment teaches him …
