Constructive Tendencies in Rural Education. Bulletin, 1925, No. 25
Author: Cook, Katherine M.
Date: 1925-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational Opportunities,Administrative Organization,Rural Education,Educational Change,School Support,Rural Schools,Supervision,Educational Equity (Finance),Resource Allocation,Educational Finance,Income,Taxes,State Aid,Equal Education,Teacher Improvement,Teacher Qualifications,Teacher Certification,State Legislation,Administrator Role,Governance,Secondary Education,Consolidated Schools

The most conspicuous and pertinent tendency in rural education in the biennium is that toward better understanding of and intelligent accomplishment in the direction of more equitable distribution of school opportunities and school expense burdens. Rural education is still the weak spot in the American educational system. The passing of the biennium marks a decided tendency toward complete emergence of rural education from the realm of sentimental oratory and general promotion to that of statesmanship and professional achievement. This bulletin explores tendencies in five areas: (1) Equitable School Support--toward increasing school revenues from new and old State sources, and toward better methods in the distribution of State funds designed primarily to equalize tax burdens and educational opportunity, and at the same time encourage local effort and initiative; (2) Improvement of the Teacher Staff--reflecting the substantial rise in minimum qualifications demanded for teaching certificates and increased and improved facilities for training rural teachers; (3) Supervision--wherein progress during the biennium has been concerned more with intensive work toward a higher quality of service than an increase in the number of supervisors or the extent of the territory over which supervision is furnished, although substantial improvements have been made in both aspects; (4) Administrative Organization--(a) the movement to provide on a State-wide scale and through legislative action, for an administrative unit large enough to afford more nearly adequate support and a complete educational unit of facilities with professional management, supervision, and teaching staff, and (b) the movement for voluntary centralization of the part of small local units generally known as consolidation; and (5) Secondary Education for Rural Children--which was studied for the first time on a national scale in the Bureau of Education during the biennial period 1922-1924.

There are now 69 land-grant colleges in the United States and outlying possessions. Thirty-five of these institutions, located in the Northern States, Alaska, Porto Rico, and Hawaii, are for both white and colored students. Seventeen Southern States maintain two institutions each, one exclusively for white students and one exclusively for colored students. The report naturally divides into three parts: Part I--General information on all land-grant colleges; Part II--Statistics of the 52 land-grant colleges attended primarily or exclusively by white students; and Part III--Statistics of the 17 land-grant colleges exclusively for colored students. The statistics herewith given are taken mainly from the annual reports which the several land grant colleges submitted to the Bureau of Education. (Contains 25 tables.)

During the biennium of 1922-24, new and important levels have been reached, according to reports, in parent-teacher associations with respect to growth, stability of organization, efficiency in methods, responsibility in leadership, and practical results obtained. In 1923 the National Congress of Parents and Teachers set for itself a program which included year-round parenthood; an effort to bring the things of the home back to the home; educating the membership and interpreting the value of education to the American people.  This program has formed the foundation of the work of not only the National but of State and local parent-teacher associations. Several types of auxiliaries to the public schools have appeared from time to time, emphasizing some of the needs of the schools. They are sometimes called home and school associations or parents' leagues, or school improvement associations or leagues, or parent-teacher associations. The parent-teacher associations, however, have reached the stage of development into a state-wide and national movement reaching every State. Other state-wide movements, however, of some importance have developed to meet school needs, such as school improvement associations which in the past accomplished excellent results for the schools; state-wide organization of school patrons in community leagues; and city-wide federations of parents or school patrons. This bulletin describes the parent-teacher movement and the organization and work of these associations, including training, scholarship foundations, field service, study circles, and more.

Medical Education, 1922-1924. Bulletin, 1925, No. 31
Author: Colwell, N. P.
Date: 1925-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Publicity,Voluntary Agencies,Scholarships,Educational Change,Graduate Medical Education,Hospitals,Medical Schools,Costs,Curriculum,Enrollment,Specialists,Government Role

This bulletin documents: (1) a quarter century's progress in medical education, including inadequate governmental control over medical education, action by a voluntary agency, legal power v. publicity, greatly enlarged teaching plants, hospitals as related to medical education, hospital internships, and the hospital as an important educational factor; and (2) newer problems in medical education, including  higher cost of medical education, scholarships and loan funds, the medical curriculum, graduate medical education, limitation of enrollments, specialization in medicine, and changes in general practice. In 20 years, medical education in the United States has undergone a marvelous improvement, so that the medical schools of this country are at least on a par with those of other leading nations. Remaining problems are chiefly those due to the other improvements made. Readjustments will be made which will doubtless bring about the desired results.

Americanization in the United States. Bulletin, 1923, No. 31

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Acculturation,Immigrants,Cultural Differences,State Legislation,Educational Methods,Financial Support,Educational Finance,Teacher Education Programs,Citizenship Education,Adult Education,English (Second Language),Second Language Learning,Access to Education,Industry,State Programs

Since 1915, when the Americanization &quot;movement&quot; came into being, the American people have joined dozens of Americanization societies, listened to hundreds of people who declaimed Americanization, and read thousands of dissertations, wise and otherwise, on the same theme. For several years past, Americanization movements have been promoted both genuine and spurious, with equal zeal. It has been a period of much idle talk, much earned endeavor, and some accomplishment, especially within the past two years. This report, deals specifically with the past two years. It seems to be a hopeless prospect to attempt the reporting of what has been done across the country in the broad field of Americanization during the past two years. Happily, the scope of this report is to relate advances, that have been made in the schooling of the foreign born. Contents include: (1) Definitions and preliminary considerations; (2) A few fundamental principles and policies; and (3) What some of the States have done. Appended are: (1) The Plymouth agreement; (2) Americanization law--Massachusetts; (3) Americanization law--Ohio; (4) The California statute (1913); and (5) A few significant statistics.

Educational Hygiene. Bulletin, 1923, No. 33

The early history of educational hygiene was largely the history of &quot;school hygiene.&quot; The name was accurately indicative of character--the hygiene of the school as an environment rather than as a &quot;community of children&quot; learning under the leadership of teachers to know and live health. Environment bulked large; the education of individuals for health, either personal or civic, was comparatively little thought of. The older books on school hygiene and the proceedings of school hygiene congresses show that the matters of major concern were the hygiene of the school plant and equipment; medical inspection for control of communicable diseases; examination for physical defects and development of methods and facilities for correction of defects and disabilities: the hygiene of instruction, especially the relation of fatigue and nervous and emotional strains to programs and technique of instruction; and other environmental factors. This bulletin attempts to present the developments within the past four years in some parts of the field and to summarize the activities of some of the organizations and agencies that are working in this large, varied, complex, and rapidly developing field, within the same period.

A Model for Teaching Critical Thinking
Author: Emerson, Marnice K.
Date: 2013-03-15
Type: Reports - Evaluative
Subjects: Adult Learning,Adult Students,Best Practices,Critical Thinking,Student Attitudes,Teacher Attitudes,Teaching Methods

In an age in which information is available almost instantly and in quantities unimagined just a few decades ago, most educators would agree that teaching adult learners to think critically about what they are reading, seeing, and hearing has never been more important. But just what is critical thinking? Do adult learners agree with educators that there is a need to think critically? What types of skills does a critical thinker possess? Can these skills be taught? If so, what are some strategies that educators can use to teach these skills? The purpose of this paper is to attempt to answer these questions before concluding with a proposed model of best practices for teaching critical thinking to adult learners. (Contains 1 figure.)
