Analysis Of Achievement Using Individualized Instruction Compared With Other Group-Paced Types Of Instruction In Two Selected Omaha Public Schools: An Experimental Case Study, Lou Ann J. Landholm

The past decade has seen serious and widespread attempts to introduce more and more instruction of an individualized nature into our elementary schools. Yet there is a question of continuing concern to elementary teachers. How can they adequately meet the individual needs of pupils in a school operation which is geared to masses of students? Although this problem largely remains unsolved, attempts have been made to provide for individual needs through various plans of individualized instruction.

Thinking And Feeling In Education, Robert L. Conrad

Concordia Theological Monthly

One of the troubles with teachers in the church and in public education is that they are adults. They do not think and imagine like children, but they take the results of adult thought and expect children to handle them. At the same time, their own education has led them to be suspicious of feelings and imagination, so that they ignore the feelings of children or try to get them to control their feelings and imagination with rational thought. Both of these tendencies have been challenged by recent studies.
