Report Of The Curriculum Conference Held At Rollins College, January 19-24, 1931, John Dewey

Books about Rollins College and Winter Park

In January 1931, Rollins hosted a Curriculum Conference, with the distinguished educator John Dewey as chairman. Leading educators gathered to discuss a number of matters, including core curricula, general education and purpose of a bachelor’s degree as a whole. The resulting recommendations–which emphasized "Individualization in Education"–were implemented by Rollins in the fall of 1931. So provocative were these innovations that Sinclair Lewis, in his Stockholm address accepting the Nobel Prize in literature, listed Rollins as one of only four colleges in the United States doing the most to encourage creative work in contemporary literature.

Primary Education By Correspondence: Being An Account Of The Methods And Achievements Of The Australian Correspondence Schools In Instructing Children Living In Isolated Areas, Kenneth Stewart Cunningham

Student learning processes

An account of the methods and achievements of the Australian correspondence schools in instructing children living in isolated areas. It seems that Australia can claim to be the first country to have shown in a systematic way, and on a large scale, that it is possible to provide by correspondence a complete elementary education for children who have never been to school. Cunningham reviews the conditions giving rise to correspondence instruction, the growth and scope of the Correspondence Schools, curricula and methods, attainments and progress of pupils.

The Rise And Development Of Safety Education In The Public Schools Of The United States, John Metzger

Graduate Thesis Collection

It has not been the purpose of the author of this thesis to present a history of safety in general, for such a treatise would obviously be an account of the history of man himself and, as such, would be worthy of the fullest development within itself.

The Choice Of Studies Of Ninth Year Pupils As Affected By Parental Occupation, Cultural Standards Of The Home, And Ability, Aptitudes, And Interests, Frances Longshore

Graduate Thesis Collection

The modern high school with its complex curriculum seems to present to the average pupil a maze through which he cannot well work his way without careful educational guidance.  It is the purpose of this study to discover the relationship which exists between the choice of courses which beginning pupils make, the social and cultural standards of their homes and their own abilities, aptitudes, and interests.  It is also the purpose here to show how great is the need for effective guidance.

Reading A Tool-Subject In Secondary Education, M. Scholastica Rowan

Bachelors’ Theses

In the discussion which follows in this paper the aim has been to show the relation between reading ability to effective study habits. To emphasize the fact that reading is not a separate curricular activity but is a tool by means of which subject matter in all fields is interpreted and experienced. Unfortunately the secondary school has not kept pace with the elementary school in using improved reading methods. All real educational progress of the individual implies the quickening of the student's powers of not merely responding to the stimulus applied by the external teacher, but of supplying stimulus of …

American History Information In Relation To Character And Conduct, Floyd A. Hines

Graduate Thesis Collection

The whole history is in man and may be explained from individual experience as a stately forest may be explained from one acorn of the weed patch from one seed.  In history the collective experiences of man are united in a written record.  These experiences are usually of a material nature but are influenced greatly by the unseen emotions which cannot so definitely be written, yet may be felt by the student of history.
