Concientización Y Juegos De Simulación, William A. Smith

Technical Notes

Este informe trata brevemente de ciertos aspectos de la filosofía de paulo Friere y de su relación con la metodología educativa de juegos de simulación. El autor trata de demostrar cómo los juegos de simulación pueden utilizarse para apoyar muchos de los conceptos de Freire creando una relación basada en una relación horizontal entre el estudiante y el ecuador, enfocándose en las complejas realidades sociales como contenido legítmo para la educación y acrecentando la oportunidad de estudiante para participar activamente en el proceso del aprendizaje.

The Federal Role In Aiding American Elementary And Secondary Schools, Jay Martin Russek

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

Federal policy with regard to elementary and secondary education has developed slowly over the history of the country. This has happened because the conflicts involved are considerable and difficult to overcome in such a fashion as to make the results acceptable to all parties willing in principle to support some form of federal participation. Until recently, the literature has centered on the study of specific factors which help to explain the cause and trend of events. In order to explain developments in this field, however, it ought to be perceived as an overall policy making process. Although much of this …

The Use Of Graphical Analysis In Education Planning, David Evans

Center for International Education Faculty Publications

This paper discusses the use of graphical techniques as tools of analysis and projection in planning the growth of an educational system. Graphs are shown to be particularly valuable when used to investigate the implications of alternate growth patterns for various aspects of the school system. The technique is intended to precede and augment the usual forms of statistical analysis. Reasons are suggested why graphs are particularly appropriate to the rapidly growing educational systems in developing countries.
