Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational History,Questionnaires,Higher Education,Educational Administration,Scientific Methodology,Teaching Load,College Administration,Faculty Workload,Teaching Conditions,Methods Research,Research Methodology,Noninstructional Responsibility,Criteria,Teaching Methods,Academic Rank (Professional)

Until the past decade or two, educational administration has been notably laggard in attacking its problems by methods approximating the scientific. Tradition, sentiment, rule of thumb, temporizing compromise--these have been, and unfortunately still are, the dominant methods in this important field of human enterprise. One of the largest problems in the administration of educational institutions is that of the proper method of determination of the working load of the members of the instructional staff. This is true even in the higher institutions, to which, because they have been the protagonists of scientific method, one should first turn for the light of example on such a significant problem. The investigation reported here is a pioneering attack on this problem as it concerns colleges and universities.  Contents include: (1) The purpose and method of the study; (2) The working load of members of the faculty of a university; (3) The factors determining the teaching load in a university; (4) A method of adjusting the teaching load in a university. The questionnaire used in the investigation is appended. (Contains 20 footnotes and 22 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
The Kindergarten Curriculum. Bulletin, 1919, No. 16
Author: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education (ED)
Date: 1919-00-00
Type: Guides - Classroom - Teacher
Subjects: Kindergarten,Music Education,Art Education,Language Arts,Games,Drama,Literature,Science Education,Social Studies,Class Activities,Childrens Literature,Reading Lists,Bibliographies,Educational Resources,Early Childhood Education,Child Development,Educational History,Teaching Methods,Preschool Teachers,International Organizations,Educational Trends,Articulation (Education),Preschool Curriculum,Curriculum Design,Curriculum Guides,Experimental Curriculum,Developmentally Appropriate Practices,Educational Objectives

The curriculum presented in this bulletin is a response to a definite need frequently expressed by kindergarten teachers, primary teachers, and school men. The work of the different grades has been fairly standardized as to subject matter and method, and is usually outlined quite definitely for the guidance of teachers in the course of study. But because kindergarten is a relatively new movement and its work has not yet become standardized, the course of study seldom includes a similar outline to guide the kindergarten teachers in their work. The work here suggested is experimental in the sense that it is a departure from the method of the past, but it is guided by a clear vision of the problem to be solved by means of it. This bulletin is divided into the following chapters: (1) General statement; (2) Subject matter: Community life and nature study; (3) Manual activities; (4) Art; (5) Language; (6) Literature; (7) Plays and games; and (8) Music. (Contains 3 footnotes.) [This bulletin was prepared by the Subcommittee on Curriculum of the Bureau of Education Committee of the International Kindergarten Unit.

The influence of industrial vocational education is having its effect upon practices and methods of commercial education. The practice of industrial education of analyzing a curriculum of subjects containing values of vocational work, related vocational, and non-vocational subjects is causing the examination of commercial education with a view to a more careful practice with respect to like items. This evolution of commercial education has resulted in a new and better conception of proper procedure and an attempt to meet the needs of children who attend high school and desire instruction in commercial subjects. This bulletin covers the following related topics: (1) Development of commercial education in public schools; (2) Federal Board for Vocational Education; (3) Provision for commercial education; (4) Report of the Committee on Business Education: Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education; and (5) School Surveys and Commercial Education.

Engineering schools in common with other educational institutions have been confronted with many unique problems since the outbreak of the European War in 1914. Previous to that time, an increasing number of men who entered colleges and universities elected subjects pertaining to commerce, business management, finances, etc. During the same period, the attendance at engineering schools had in most cases decreased. With the demand on American manufacturers for war supplies for the Allies, there developed a need for a very large number of scientifically and technically trained men for use in designing new machinery, developing new processes, etc. It was then the country realized that the number of men who had been trained in applied science was woefully small in comparison with the population of the country and the magnitude of its industries. The matter became so pressing that it was taken up by the Council of National Defense, and a committee on engineering education was appointed. Although the United States has schools of engineering that offer excellent courses for undergraduates, one or two schools that offer graduate courses to some extent, and some that conduct research and engineering experiments, there is no single school which combines in an effective way all three factors which would make a complete engineering school, namely, undergraduate courses, graduate courses, and research both pure and applied. This bulletin briefly outlines some of the factors that must be taken into consideration in establishing such a school. [Best copy available has been provided.]
The Rural Teacher of Nebraska. Bulletin, 1919, No. 20
Author: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education (ED)
Date: 1919-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Teacher Recruitment,Educational Development,Rural Schools,Teacher Education,Teacher Characteristics,Questionnaires,Rural Areas,Teaching Experience,Housing,Income,Sex,Age,Citizenship,Educational Environment,Family Environment,Tables (Data),Statistical Data

The main objective of this study was to procure reliable information on the education, experience, and general character of the rural teaching force of Nebraska, together with the first-hand knowledge of some of the conditions contributing to the home and school environment of these teachers. This knowledge was obtained by means of a questionnaire. It in no way represents theory or generalization, but is an array of facts on the rural teaching force of the State as given by the teachers themselves. The work was done with the cooperation of the graduate school of education in the University of Nebraska, working under the direction of Dr. G. W. A. Luckey, dean of this school. This bulletin is divided into eight chapters, as follows: (1) Movements in Nebraska's educational development; (2) Response, sex, age, and nationality; (3) Education; (4) Experience; (5) The boarding place; (6) Income; (7) Industrial conditions and suggestions of teachers; and (8) A recapitulation. An appendix contains a copy of the questionnaire that was sent to teachers on the status of the rural teacher in Nebraska. (Contains 40 tables, 9 figures, 4 plates, and 29 footnotes.)

Subjects: Educational Technology,Special Education,Intervention,Autism,Mathematics Skills,Skill Development,Handheld Devices,Pervasive Developmental Disorders,Special Schools,Special Needs Students,Mathematics Instruction,Instructional Effectiveness,Teacher Surveys,Parent Surveys,Barriers,Behavior Problems,Program Effectiveness,Fidelity,Elementary Secondary Education,Special Education Teachers,Assistive Technology,Urban Schools,Developmental Disabilities

This single subject design study (ABAB) investigated the effects of using iPads[R] in a classwide academic intervention to increase independent task completion and basic math skills of seven students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) enrolled in a special education school for students with moderate to severe disabilities. An additional purpose of the study was to identify the advantages of and challenges to using iPads[R] for classroom instruction. Traditional basic math instruction was used for the baseline phase, while a basic math skill app on an iPad[R] was used for the intervention phase. Math probes were completed and the results recorded for four to five sessions for each of the four weeks of the study. Data on level of teacher prompting and presence of noncompliant behaviors were collected during every phase. Descriptive and visual analysis techniques were used to analyze the data. Findings expand current knowledge of the use of instructional technology with students with ASD and single subject design to document the effect of evidence-based practices in special education. Results were mixed for math skill development but indicated an increase in independent task completion as demonstrated by a decrease in noncompliant behaviors and teacher prompt levels. Findings suggest iPads[R] can be an effective instructional tool to enhance learning and independence. Contributions, limitations, and future research are presented. (Contains 2 figures and 3 tables.)

Research into integrating technology such as iPads into the curriculum for students with disabilities is still new. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the use of a basic math skill application on an iPad to increase basic math fluency. As part of a classwide academic intervention, the study was conducted with 10 students with moderate to severe cognitive disabilities enrolled in a special education school. This four-week study employed a single-case reversal design (ABAB). Examination of data involved visual and statistical analysis techniques. Four key findings emerged. First, results indicated this intervention to have a positive effect on basic math fluency. Second, results showed that teachers perceived that the iPads had a positive impact on student engagement and interest in content. Third, qualitative data identified considerations for the integration of new technology into teaching and learning. Finally, the findings demonstrate how single-case design can be used to document the impact of evidence-based practices in special education. Findings suggest the iPad is an effective instructional tool to use in academic interventions with students with moderate to severe disabilities.  Implications for practice and further research are discussed. (Contains 2 figures.)
Jammin' Minute
Author: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Date: 2012-05-01
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Physical Activities,Nutrition,Wellness,Obesity,Child Health,Physical Fitness,Principals,School Nurses

As awareness of the childhood obesity crisis spreads, schools across the country are recognizing the importance of providing higher-quality, more nutritious food, and of re-integrating physical activity back into students' daily routines. With disparate amounts of resources to accomplish this, some schools may be finding it easier than others to make changes that improve children's health. The example of River Terrace Elementary in Washington DC suggests that even modest efforts to ensure students get daily physical activity can have overwhelmingly positive results, and create momentum for building a more comprehensive school wellness program in the longer term. This case study looks at Principal Shannon Foster's and her staff's successful school-wide implementation of &quot;Jammin' Minute,&quot; a simple one-minute fitness routine that schools can incorporate into students' daily schedule at any time.
Why Does Education Matter so Much to Health? Issue Brief. Health Policy Snapshot

While it's known that education leads to better jobs and higher income, research also shows strong links between education and longevity, reduced risk of illness, and increased vitality and school success for future generations. Yet, changing demographic trends and rising college costs portend poorly for health. This brief examines the role that education plays in health and finds that: (1) Better-educated individuals live longer, healthier lives than those with less education, and their children are more likely to thrive; (2) An action plan released by the National Prevention Council, comprised of 17 federal departments, includes efforts to bolster education outcomes for youth; and (3) Changing demographics and other trends forecast that young people in the United States today are less likely than members of their parents' generation to graduate from high school, posing challenges to efforts to improve health status.
