The Individual Child, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)

Primary School Studies

First published in 1952, this pamphlet suggests that schools should consider the needs and possibilities of each, individual child and cater the curriculum accordingly, to meet those needs. It suggests two considerations in determining best practice: determining the ‘learning level’ and ‘learning load’ of each student. It also emphasises the need to distinguish between achievement and capacity, in measuring students’ success. The pamphlet argues that the aim of a ’vigorous and progressive education’ should be to promote student independence.

A Proposed Administrative And Supervisory Organization For Vocational Rehabilitation In Kentucky, Clifton Cook

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The urgent need for tapping new reserves of manpower during the recent war emergency caused new stress to be put upon the rehabilitation of handicapped individuals. Employers were more willing than ever before to give the handicapped person a chance to prove that he could produce in competition with those who were physically whole. These two factors combined to bring about an increase in the staff personnel in Kentucky in such a short period of time that it was impossible to revise the organization of this division of the State Department of Education rapidly enough to keep pace with its …

Better Than Nothing, But..., Lyman M. Partridge

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

While the majority of parents, teachers and administrators are fully aware of the importance of a program of hearing conservation in the schools and readily endorse one, I am convinced that they are not aware of the serious inadequacies of the method of testing the hearing ability of school children that is generally used throughout the state of Washington.

Housing Needs, Helen Michaelsen

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

We have a responsibility to influence for good the fundamental character of American housing by stressing essentials. What is essential at the beginning; what, if anything at the end? Not home ownership-a house and garden for everyone-but standards of upkeep, ethics for tenants, minor improvements of present home conditions, order and intelligence in the utilization of space, adjusting the old house to meet present needs, making best use of what one already has.

The Health Of The School Child With Special Reference To Heart Cases, Annette G. West

Bachelors’ Theses

The first of the generally accepted objectives of education is health. The importance to the community of the health of its children can hardly be over-emphasized when it is fully realized that the children of to-day are the bread winners and the parents of to-morrow. The health of our children is the foundation upon which the welfare of the community depends. To conserve the health of the child is as much a function of the state as it is to conserve the natural resources. To investigate the evils that exist and to remedy all that may be remedied without transgressing …

Remedial Instruction In Reading For Retarded Children, Edna Cooper Hunt

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

Investigations show the need for remdial instruction in reading in the intermediate grades. These studies show that many elementary school pupoils are retarded in reading, and that poor reading is the most requient cause of schoool failure. Reports of studies contain recommendations for remedial instruction as a means of improving the reading ability of retarded children.

Three questions may be asked regarding the effectiveness of remedial work in reading with retarded children: (1) Are the remedial measures effective with seriously retarded children in an average school situation? (2) Is improvement in reading accompanied by marked improvement in general school work? …

Cripples have always lived among people, but it took the life of Homer Allen with those of several friends to arouse his father, Edgar F. Alien, to the realization of the problem of the cripple. Today "Daddy" Allen is known the world over as the one who influenced others to show more than mere pity for crippled children that they might have facilities for care and education.

Care And Education Of The Defective School Child, Mathew Barkley

Bachelors’ Theses

In the past, we have either paid too much attention to the defective child, to the detriment of the normal child­ren in the schools, or in a majority of the cases we have neglected him entirely. We must figure out a system of education which will take care of him adequately without working a hardship on the children who are able to do the regular school work. We must measure hie capabilities and gauge his work according to hie ability.
