Migration has been an essential part of American life and a contributing factor to the urbanization of its cities. The pages of history are filled with the record of the movement of people away from a lesser toward a greater opportunity and the search for security and happiness in some more favorable environment. There are two large groups of migrants in America today, the agricultural migrants who follow the crops, and the industrial migrants who come to the city seeking new opportunities. The limitations and scope of this bulletin exclude a consideration of the agricultural migrant. It also excludes a consideration of the immigrant who has been a contributing force in U.S. population growth. The chief concern of this bulletin is with that large aggregation of internal migrants who leave their communities for urban centers in search of work and other opportunities. What are some of the educational problems and issues involved in migration? This bulletin identifies the more pressing of them without presuming to suggest final solutions. The report constitutes an "approach" to the subject under discussion, not an exhaustive analysis of it. Some of the threads which lead from the new resident in the urban community back to the sources and causes of migration and forward to the educational needs and requirements have been identified. Suggested guides to further analysis and study have been included. National, State, and local workers, educators, leaders in lay and professional organizations, and parents should find the report valuable in planning, appraising, and improving educational programs for the adult migrants who are crowding into urban centers at an accelerating rate. This bulletin is divided into five sections, as follows: (1) Populations on the Move; (2) The Responsibility and Challenge of Education; (3) Selected Urban Community Approaches to the Education of Migrants; (4) Trends in the Development of Educational Programs and Services for Migrants; and (5) Educational Needs and Concerns Requiring Further Study and Research. A bibliography is included. (Contains 1 table, 2 figures, and 44 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

To help State Supervisors of Mathematics develop constructive leadership programs suitable for immediate adoption, under varying State and local conditions, the U.S. Office of Education sponsored a National Conference of State Supervisors of Mathematics at Washington, D.C., from June 19 to 23, 1961. The Conference had four main objectives: (1) To focus attention on the evolving mathematics curriculum in order to determine the most effective things the State Supervisor can do to help strengthen mathematics teaching; (2) To consider how the State Supervisor can help improve inservice and preservice education for mathematics teachers; (3) To identify what types of research are needed in the field of mathematics teaching and to consider the implications of present research findings; and (4) To determine how the State Supervisor can evaluate his State's program for strengthening mathematics teaching and how he can help school systems evaluate their programs. This bulletin reports the proceedings of the Conference: (1) The Changes Taking Place in Mathematics (Irving Adler); (2) Implications of the Changes in Mathematics for the Mathematics Supervisor (Carl B. Allendoerfer); (3) New Media of Instruction (Arthur Lalime); (4) The Role of the Supervisor in Developing Curriculum Materials (Veryl Schult); (5) Evaluation of the New Mathematics Programs (Donovan A. Johnson); (6) How the State Supervisor Can Stimulate Local Leadership (James H. Zant); (7) How the State Supervisor Can Promote Preservice and Inservice Education for Mathematics Teachers (Bernard H. Gundlach); and (8) The Role of the State Supervisor in Encouraging Research and Implementing Research Findings (John J. Kinsella). Included are four appendices: (1) Recommended Leadership Activities for State Supervisors of Mathematics; (2) Panel discussions--Introduction of the New Mathematics Into the Curriculum, Curriculum Changes in Science and Their Implications for the Teaching of Mathematics, and Criteria for Evaluating the Mathematics Program of the State Department of Education; (3) Informal Talks--National Science Foundation Programs of Interest to Mathematics and Science Supervisors (Keith R.

For more than a decade the U.S. Office of Education and the National Association for Research in Science Teaching (NARST) have collaborated in preparing an annual summary of research in the teaching of science. The present bulletin, under the same collaboration, begins a new series in which each successive issue covers a 2-year period; its purpose, as before, is to make summaries of selected research available to school personnel and research workers. In collecting, analyzing, and interpreting the research in science education over the biennium July 1957 to July 1959, the National Association for Research in Science Teaching and the U.S. Office of Education sought to focus on some of the areas of science education in which known problems exist. The present bulletin summarizes published studies discovered through a careful search of the pamphlet and periodical literature of the biennium, and also unpublished studies discovered through a questionnaire jointly developed by the U.S. Office of Education and the NARST and mailed to more than 1,200 institutions officering graduate work in science education. It discusses the challenges to the improvement of science education, and the avenue to the improvement of research in the area. Sections on research studies in elementary school, secondary school, and college science each provide: (1) introduction; (2) analysis; (3) interpretation; (4) selected abstracts; and a list of the studies. Guidelines and recommendations for improvement conclude the document. (Contains 25 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Nature of Science and Scientific Inquiry as Contexts for the Learning of Science and Achievement of Scientific Literacy
Author: Lederman, Norman G.
Date: 2013-07-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Scientific Principles,Inquiry,Scientific Literacy,Science Instruction,World Views,Epistemology,Science Education,Educational Change,Elementary Secondary Education

Although the reasons for concern about quality differ from nation to nation, the primary rallying point for science education reform is the perceived level of scientific literacy among a nation's populace. The essential nature of scientific literacy is that which influences students' decisions about personal and societal problems. Beyond this, however, educators work to influence students' ability to view science through a more holistic lens. Examining the philosophy, history, and sociology of science itself has the potential to engender perceptions of science, in the broader context, that can impact the lens through which students view the world. The integration of explicit, reflective instruction about nature of science (NOS) and scientific inquiry (SI) in traditional science content is addressed as a means through which the development of scientific literacy is fostered.
School Fires: Prevention, Control, Protection. School Plant Management Series. Bulletin, 1962, No. 6. OE-21017
Author: Finchumn, R. N.
Date: 1962-00-00
Type: Guides - General
Subjects: Prevention,Administrative Policy,Fire Protection,School Buildings,School Safety,Public Officials,Educational Facilities,Facilities Management,Injuries,Administrator Responsibility,Equipment,Emergency Programs

Fire safety in schools, long recognized as a serious problem by both public officials and lay citizens, is concerned with preventing personal injury or death and property damage or destruction. The responsibility for this prevention is lodged in many hands, but school officials having jurisdiction in the matter are usually charged with developing and implementing administrative policies governing appropriate procedures and actions. Basic information, however, is not always available to these officials. The purpose of the present bulletin, therefore, is to incorporate and consolidate in one volume the most recent developments concerning the nature and effects of fires, responsibility for school fire safety, fire hazards prevalent on sites and in buildings, acceptable housekeeping practices, and fire protective and extinguishment devices and equipment. The threat of fire can never be completely eliminated from school buildings, but its dangers can be minimized with sound planning. This may be accomplished by a three-prong attack: prevention, control, and protection. (Contains 160 footnotes, 10 tables, 2 charts, and 2 graphs.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Local School Boards: Organization and Practices. Bulletin, 1962, No. 8. OE-23023
Author: White, Alpheus L.
Date: 1962-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational History,Board of Education Policy,Educational Administration,Administrative Organization,Boards of Education,Professional Associations,Educational Improvement,Improvement Programs,School Administration,Guides,Problems,Compensation (Remuneration),Board of Education Role,School Districts,Public Schools,Board Candidates,Board Administrator Relationship,Meetings,Educational Policy,Enrollment,Elementary Secondary Education,County School Districts,National Surveys,Questionnaires

For a number of years there has been a growing recognition of the importance of the school board's role in improving educational programs and services. Evidences of this recognition may be found in the increased citizen interest in school boards, the amount of school administration literature devoted to them, the rapidly growing body of school board research, and the expanded program of services of State school board associations and of the National School Boards Association. The powers of school boards and their position in the structure of education make them key agencies in school improvement programs. A soundly organized and efficiently operation board of education is essential to the provision of good schools. This bulletin is a report of a study undertaken to identify and provide up-to-date information about school board organization and practices. Its contents include: (1) Background of the study; (2) selection of members and size of school boards; (3) membership of boards of education; (4) school board organization; (5) school board meetings; (6) school board policy manuals; (7) compensation and reimbursements for school board members; and (8) school board problems.

Subjects: Educational History,Higher Education,College Administration,School Organization,Guidelines,Administrators,Administrator Role,School Surveys,National Surveys,Organizational Effectiveness,Problems,Charts,Institutional Characteristics,Self Evaluation (Groups),Public Colleges,Private Colleges,Two Year Colleges,Business Administration,Student Personnel Services,Institutional Advancement,Professional Personnel,Academic Degrees,Enrollment,Librarians

The purpose of organization, for a collegiate institution as well as for a private profit corporation, is to assure efficiency and economy of operation. In view of today's pressures for increase of both quantity and quality in higher education, there is a growing need for institutions to examine critically their present organization for internal administration. Too often, expanded structure has been imposed on a relatively simple pattern of organization which was not suited to its initial purpose. The Office of Education has undertaken this study of institutional organization in order to provide college and university administrators, boards, and others responsible for planning with guidelines for evaluation and modification. Basic data were drawn from the current organization charts of 608 of the 1,970 institutions of higher education; these 608 represent most of those that publish formal charts of organization. This bulletin includes: (1) An approach to the study of organization for administration of higher education; (2) functions and responsibilities of Chief Administrative Officers; (3) survey and analysis of current organizational structure; (4) findings, conclusions, and recommendations; and (5) problems and issues in reorganization.

National Development through Social Progress: The Role of Education. Bulletin, 1963, No. 8. OE-10027
Author: Neff, Kenneth L.
Date: 1963-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Theory Practice Relationship,Role of Education,Educational Development,Labor Force Development,Human Resources,Politics,Social Change

This bulletin is a continuation of the author's inquiry into the conceptual problems of national development as initially presented in "Education and the Development of Human Technology." It is based on a paper prepared by the author as background for a Consultant Seminar on Human Resources Development in August 1962. The purpose of both publications is to encourage an objective and systematic evaluation of the contribution of education to political, economic, and social progress; and to emphasize the extent to which the planning of educational development can be effectively used to promote overall development.

What High School Pupils Study: A National Survey of the Scholastic Performance of Pupils of Various Abilities. Bulletin, 1962, No. 10. OE-33025
Author: Greer, Edith S.
Date: 1962-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Academic Ability,Academic Aptitude,Academic Achievement,High School Students,Graduation Requirements,Courses,Required Courses,Credits,Student Participation,Intelligence

There is a growing appreciation of the need for a greater supply of well-educated people, not only in the scientific and technological fields but also in the political, social, and cultural areas. The high school should play an important role in identifying and developing the specific abilities of each boy and girl so that each can make the greatest contribution possible to himself and to society. Some evidence of the effectiveness of the schools in this role can be secured from a study of the subjects and programs actually pursued by pupils judged to have differing academic aptitudes. This bulletin is a report of a study--the first of its kind--that was designed to gather national data on high school programs completed by graduates of 1958 who had varying academic abilities and who had been enrolled in schools of different sizes. It is expected that it will give information valuable in helping to develop better educational opportunities for pupils in communities throughout the United States. Appendixes include: (1) Appendix Tables; (2) List of Mental Ability Tests with Name and Address of Publisher; (3) Subject Titles; and (4) The Questionnaire. (Contains 3 footnotes, 45 tables, and 17 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
