This bulletin provides the seventh chapter of the Biennial Survey of Education, 1930-32, which has been published in separate chapters dealing with specific segments of the educational system. The purpose of this publication is to make available information on educational legislation enacted during 1931 and 1932. Probably in no previous biennium have there been more legislative sessions among the American commonwealths. During this period every State had a regular legislative session, and the governors of approximately three-fourths of the States called their respective legislatures into special session to wrestle with the serious problems growing out of the economic depression. Legislative activity relating to education during this period attained unusual prominence. Every State legislature was confronted with the vital and difficult problem of securing adequate educational facilities in the face of diminishing public revenue. The task of analyzing and reviewing legislation enacted during this unusual period present unusual difficulties. Numerous enactments affecting education are found to be considerably involved and include many implications which have been perplexing even to school authorities within the respective States. Owing to the necessity for brevity and the multiplicity of enactments relating to education, only these certain phases or subjects are here reviewed: (1) State administrative organization; (2) State school support; (3) Local school administration; (4) Efficiency in the business management of schools, budgets, etc.; (5) Teachers; (6) Teacher institutes; (7) School attendance; (8) High schools; (9) Tuition and transportation; (10) Textbooks; (11) Curriculum; (12) School health and safety; (13) Kindergartens; (14) Adult and vocational education; (15) Handicapped and dependent children; and (16) Educational surveys. An index is included. (Contains 5 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

In 1930 a number of organizations interested in teacher preparation asked for a survey by the Federal Government in order to secure usable information applicable to the larger problems of teacher education. Congress subsequently appropriated funds for this investigation, and the survey extended from July 1, 1930 to June 30, 1933. The first section in the survey which could be prepared for publication was the Selected Bibliography which constitutes this volume. This classified, annotated bibliography concerns itself with the education of teachers, rather than with teaching, up to June 1932. Topics include: (1) General references on the education of teachers; (2) Accrediting and standardizing; (3) Administration and organization; (4) Buildings and equipment; (5) Business and finance; (6) Comparative education of teachers (foreign countries); (7) Curricular and instructional provisions for teacher preparation; (8) Evaluation of the education of teachers; (9) History of the education of teachers; (10) In-service education of teachers; (11) Personnel--faculties; (12) Personnel--students; (13) Personnel--Public-school teachers and administrators; (14) Placement and selection of teachers by administrators; (15) Surveys and comprehensive studies of the education of teachers; and (16) Unclassified references.

The Seventy-first Congress authorized a survey of the education of teachers on a Nation-wide scope which has been conducted during the last 3 years. This document on the education of Negro teachers in the United States comprises the fourth in a series of six volumes in which the survey findings are reported. The data in this volume present the most recent and the most comprehensive picture of the educational preparation and present status of Negro teachers in public schools in the States in which separate schools for Negroes are maintained. Information is presented in eight chapters: (1) introduction, providing a general statement and description of the present study; (2) elementary teachers--their professional preparation, experience and tenure, salary, and supply and demand; (3) secondary school teachers--their professional preparation, experience, teaching load and subjects taught, and salaries of Negro high school teachers; (4) the college staff--their educational level, experience and tenure, teaching duties, community contacts, publications, salary, and administrative officers; (5) curriculum offerings and practices in the preparation of Negro teachers--semester credits, curricula, and problems and issues; (6) content and methods of teaching representative courses; (7) certain administrative practices and policies in institutions for the education of Negro teachers--size, admissions and enrollments, curriculum policies and practices, special curriculum features, practice teaching, extracurricular activities, and educational aims and issues; and (8) findings, conclusions, and recommendations--concerning teaching personnel, curriculum offerings and practices, and administrative practices and policies. The facts presented should serve as the basis for the development of State programs for the better preparation of Negro teachers with resulting improvement in public school opportunities for this group.

The Seventy-first Congress authorized a survey of the education of teachers on a Nation-wide scope, conducted during the last 3 years. After the work of the survey was organized it was apparent that only a limited number of studies could be undertaken with the time and funds available. It was decided, therefore, to cooperate whenever possible with individuals and organizations at work on any of the problems in the education of teachers which were not included for extensive treatment in the survey. In this way the scope of the survey was greatly extended and a number of very important problems were studied intensively which otherwise would have been omitted. This document consists of nine parts: (1) History of the professional education of teachers in the United States; (2) The education of teachers evaluated through measurement of teaching ability; (3) Student welfare and extracurriculum activities; (4) Library facilities of teachers colleges (compared with a selected group of liberal arts colleges); (5) Reading interests of teachers; (6) In-service education of teachers; (7) The preparation of teachers for small rural schools; (8) The training of teachers in Europe; and (9) Summary of cooperative studies in the education of teachers. Individual chapters contain footnotes. (Contains 147 tables, 1 figure, and 2 charts.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Television in Our Schools. Bulletin, 1952, No. 16
Author: Dunham, Franklin
Date: 1952-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational Television,Educational Technology,Teaching Methods,Television Viewing,Visual Aids,Production Techniques,Public Schools

Television presents a new, flexible, and inexpensive means of illustrating a lesson. Television is both audio and visual, to use the term audio-visual, applied in the past particularly to motion pictures, film strips, slides, recordings, and similar valuable aids to teaching. Television is a picture in motion with sound occurring at the same moment being simultaneously brought to the ear. At television's best, things are actually happening when one sees and hears them! A communications medium, television is unique in its ability to bring many other aids into the classroom. Every audio and visual help one has ever known can be &quot;carried&quot; by television--motion pictures, film strips, slides recordings, drawings, maps, and countless other instructional devices. Moreover, it gives schools the opportunity to present fresh, original, creative illustrations produced in the living present. The free element of &quot;choice&quot; is greatly increased when television is available. This  bulletin is the first presentation of factors being considered in a survey of educational television by the Office of Education, Federal Security Agency. It is hoped that it will prove helpful in a further discussion of this fast-moving development in American schools. This bulletin is divided into four parts: (1) Television's Role in Education; (2) What Schools and Colleges Can Do with TV; (3) Current Uses of TV by Our Schools; and (4) Looking Ahead--The Expanding Role of TV in Education.

In November 1948 the United States Office of Education received an invitation through the Embassy of Sweden, Washington, D.C., from the Sweden-America Foundation in Stockholm for Dr. Alina M. Lindegren, Specialist in European Education to visit Sweden for three weeks in January, February or March 1949 as a guest of the Foundation. The idea behind the invitation was to give Dr. Lindegren an opportunity to meet people working in the education field in Sweden and to discuss with them matters of mutual interest to educators in Sweden and in the United States, particularly the questions of the evaluation of Swedish student credentials. Arrangements were made for her also to visit schools and to talk with teachers and pupils. The present study is based on data gathered by the author during her visit to Sweden in January 1949 and supplemented since then through documentation. Bibliography and glossary are included.

Recordings for Teaching Literature and Language in the High School, Including a Bibliography of 500 Titles. Bulletin, 1952, No. 19
Author: Jewett, Arno
Date: 1952-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Language Arts,Fidelity,High Schools,Literature,Teaching Methods,Audio Equipment,Interpersonal Communication,Books,Journal Articles,Singing,Folk Culture,Biographies,Drama,History,Foreign Countries,Novels,Poetry,Religion,Story Telling

Recordings are not a new educational &quot;gadget&quot; to high-school language arts teachers. For more than a score of years some teachers have been using a few recordings of literature with varying degrees of success. Today, the extensive range of recordings available, the professional quality of the performances, and the fidelity of the reproduction increase the probability of success for the teacher who is interested in using recordings to foster attitudes of appreciation and to develop skills of communication. This bulletin presents descriptions of ways teachers are now using commercial recordings in various units of instruction to develop understanding and enjoyment of poetry, drama, and fiction, and other literature to teach intelligent, critical listening; to encourage students to study language as a social process which leads to cooperation, approval, disagreement, or conflict; and to promote continuous developmental growth in oral and written communication skills needed by youth and adults in America today. The bibliography of records includes nearly 500 titles. Most of the records listed have been produced since the end of World War II. Except for the sections on International Selections, Historical Selections, and Religious Selections, recordings are grouped by type of literature: Poetry, Drama, Biography, and others. No appraisal of recordings is offered as it is believed that students may engage in a profitable learning exercise by making their own selections with the help of the teacher. (Contains 4 footnotes.)

A school health program is usually thought of as comprising three broad areas: (1) health education, including both separate and integrated instruction; (2) healthful school environment, including both physical and social aspects; and (3) school health services. The study reported here deals with the school health service area of the school health program. Presented is certain information of a statistical nature regarding health service in school systems of the 3.430 cities in the Continental United States with populations of 2,500 and above. The findings in this study indicate that considerable increase has occurred since the last study in the number of school systems having health services and in the scope of their school health programs. The study also shows that much still needs to be done in the United States if all 30,000,00 school children are to have adequate school health service programs. Following an introductory section that covers the historical background of school health programs and previous surveys, the following topics are addressed: (1) Survey Procedures; (2) Number of School Systems Having School Health Services; (3) Administration and Financing of School Health Programs; (4) Personnel Available for School Health Services; (5) The Medical Examination; (6) The Dental Examination; (7) School Nursing Service; (8) Administrative Relationships of the Health Services to Health Instruction and Physical Education; (9) Extent to Which Schools Call upon Professional Groups for Advice and Council; and (10) Summary. This report should be of special interest to school administrators, school health service personnel, public health officials, medical and dental societies, parent-teacher associations, and many other individual groups. Appended are two questionnaires on surveys of school health services. A bibliography is also included. (Contains 31 tables and 12 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Teachers' Knowledge about Early Reading: Effects on Students' Gains in Reading Achievement
Author: Carlisle, Joanne F.

Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Reading Achievement,Teaching Methods,Statistical Analysis,Reading Comprehension,Early Reading,Psychometrics,Elementary School Students,Achievement Gains,Surveys,Knowledge Base for Teaching,Reading Tests,School Districts,Predictor Variables,Statistical Significance,Student Characteristics,Teacher Characteristics,Models,Regression (Statistics)

This study developed a new survey of teachers' knowledge about early reading and examined the effects of teachers' knowledge on students' reading achievement in Grades 1 to 3 in a large sample of Michigan schools. Using statistical models that controlled for teachers' personal and professional characteristics, students' prior reading achievement, and the clustering of high-knowledge teachers in schools and school districts with particular demographic composition, we found that the effects of teachers' knowledge about early reading on students' reading achievement were small. In 1st grade, students in classrooms headed by higher knowledge teachers performed better on year-end tests of reading comprehension but not word analysis. In 2nd and 3rd grades, the effects of teachers' knowledge on either measure of students' reading achievement were not statistically significant. Although the study suggests new forms of statistical analysis that might produce better estimates of the effects of teachers' knowledge on students' reading achievement, further research is needed to improve the conceptual and psychometric properties of measures of teachers' knowledge of reading and to investigate the relation of their knowledge and their instructional practices. Appended are: (1) Teachers' Knowledge about Reading and Reading Practices; and (2) Variables Included in the Propensity Score Analysis. (Contains 6 tables, 2 figures, and 6 footnotes.)
