香港教育歷史書寫以教育政策史為核心，一直缺乏有關鄉村學校的研究。本地教育史研究者多數將鄉村學校納入傳統中國學塾的想像，或簡化成一種過渡式的教育模式。在殖民管治新界的歷史時空下，鄉村學校的具體面貌，及其在不同階段的轉型和社會功能都被忽略。本研究以有別於主流教育歷史研究的書寫方式，嘗試將鄉村學校與新界殖民管治、新市鎮規劃、鄉村社群與城市文化拉扯等範疇連結起來，多角度重塑新界鄉村學校與整體社會脈絡的互動。本研究透過說明新界鄉村學校的歷史發展過程，目的是為了突顯鄉村學校並非鐵板一塊。鄉村教育與鄉村社區文化緊密結合，學校的發展形態多樣而且教學生活化。 / 本研究先從描繪鄉村學校與新界殖民歷史的關係出發，指出鄉村學校的興起與戰後殖民政府改變新界管治方針，普及教育的政治功能，以及現代教育體制的建立有密切關係。為強調鄉村學校的地緣特色，本文會以兩所新界鄉村學校為個案研究對象。本文藉著訪問、挖掘學校文獻、整理現存的口述歷史研究報告及相關歷史資料，介紹兩所新界鄉村學校的辦學理念、發展沿革、教學特色。本研究最後將提到1997 年後鄉村學校面臨大規模結束的困境，當中反映政府及民間社會對鄉村學校的不同理解和定位。本地教育史研究以線性叙事磨平地區發展差異和鄉村學校的多義性，因此本研究通過探討新界鄉村學校在本地教育史中的位置為鄉村學校研究補遺，並進一步批判以城市價值為核心的單一教育模式。 / The writing of Hong Kong education history has always focused on the side of education policy. The majority of the studies describe village schools in the New Territories as traditional and transitional form of education, which makes village school unnoticed in the academic field. It is important to review village schools differently in each historical era, and to rethink its intersection with the colonial policy, urban and rural tension, and its significant position in the process of education modernization. Unlike the mainstream education policy studies, this study relate education development with colonial governance, urbanization and evolvement in local education model. With these angles, this study will provide both macro and micro perspectives to understand how the social and cultural environments reshape village schools in the New Territories in the post-war era. / This study will first pointed out the closely linkage between village school in New Territories and the colonial rule of New Territories. The rise of village schools in the post-war period is much related to the changing ruling principle in New Territories. The political purpose of promoting mass education and the establishment of the local education system also provide a favorable environment for the booming development of village schools. / In order to emphasize how geographical factors affect village schools, this study will use two village schools in New Territories, Lam Tsuen Public School and Fung Kai Primary School as cases. Through accessing school documents and oral history research reports, conducting interviews and analyzing historical materials, this research would show like to how diverse education philosophies, teaching methods and school scale can village schools be. Yet, a large scale of village schools have been shut down after 1997, the challenges that they faced and how the society responded will be briefly explained in the final chapter. / The objective of the research is to project a more comprehensive picture of village schools by discovering and mapping various historical materials in a specific period of time (1946-1997). With exploring the position of village schools in New Territories, this paper will also criticize the city-centric logic behind the linear education historical writing. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 梁麗欣. / "2013年3月". / "2013 nian 3 yue". / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2013. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 101-109). / Abstract in Chinese and English. / Liang Lixin. / Chapter 第一章： --- 新界.鄉村.學校 / Chapter 1.1 --- 重尋新界鄉村學校的歷史位置 --- p.1 / Chapter 1.2 --- 研究範圍：命名的政治 --- p.3 / Chapter 1.2.1 --- 鄉村學校的獨特性 --- p.7 / Chapter 1.3 --- 新界鄉村教育研究之不足 --- p.8 / Chapter 1.4 --- 研究方法及理論背景 --- p.13 / Chapter 1.4.1 --- 篇章主旨 --- p.16 / Chapter 1.4.2 --- 研究個案簡介 --- p.17 / Chapter 第二章： --- 戰後殖民管治模式的轉向及其對新界教育發展的影響 / Chapter 2.1 --- 鄉村教育現代化的背景 --- p.20 / Chapter 2.1.1 --- 鄉村建設運動 --- p.20 / Chapter 2.1.2 --- 殖民者無意推行教育改革 --- p.21 / Chapter 2.2 --- 普及教育制度於戰後英屬殖民地萌芽 --- p.23 / Chapter 2.3 --- 新界的政治性 --- p.25 / Chapter 2.3.1 --- 城鄉拉扯中的鄉村學校 --- p.28 / Chapter 2.4 --- 新界鄉村學校得以冒起的契機 --- p.30 / Chapter 2.4.1 --- 私塾與現代學校的結合 --- p.31 / Chapter 2.4.2 --- 建立統一教育體制 --- p.33 / Chapter 2.4.2.1 --- 收緊學校審批 --- p.33 / Chapter 2.4.2.2 --- 規範師範訓練 --- p.38 / Chapter 2.5 --- 鄉村學校的歷史定位 --- p.41 / Chapter 第三章： --- 新界鄉村學校的特色--學校個案研究 / Chapter 3.1 --- 新界鄉村學校的地緣性 --- p.45 / Chapter a) --- 林村公立學校 --- p.47 / Chapter ai. --- 發展歷史 --- p.47 / Chapter aii. --- 各處鄉村各處例 --- p.54 / Chapter aiii. --- 學校不只是教育場所 --- p.61 / Chapter b) --- 鳳溪小學 --- p.67 / Chapter bi. --- 發展歷史 --- p.67 / Chapter bii. --- 鄉村學校？市區學校？ --- p.69 / Chapter biii. --- 當「宗族傳承」遇上「現代管理」 --- p.72 / Chapter 3.2 --- 兩所學校未能填滿的空白75 --- p.75 / Chapter 第四章： --- 新界鄉村學校的啟示--拉闊現代教育想像 / Chapter 4.1 --- 歷史任務的終結？九七回歸後的新界鄉村學校 --- p.80 / Chapter 4.1.1 --- 鄉村學校被指「不合乎成本效益」 --- p.82 / Chapter 4.1.2 --- 「統整為名，殺校為實」 --- p.85 / Chapter 4.3 --- 桃李無言，下自成蹊 --- p.88 / Chapter 4.4 --- 主流/另類？香港教育制度的省思 --- p.89 / Chapter 4.5 --- 打破單一發展框架，讓教育遍地開花 --- p.94 / Chapter 4.6 --- 批判以城市資本價值為中心的教育史論述 --- p.95 / Chapter 4.7 --- 研究貢獻與不足 --- p.99 / p.100

The under-provision of education for black South Africans has reached crisis proportions. While the education for black people in general is discriminatory and unequal, black rural people suffer further deprivations as there is a serious imbalance in the allocation of resources and the provision of education between urban and rural areas. Black education in the rural areas has been historically neglected for political and socio-economic reasons and, as a consequence, rural blacks have limited or no access to education. The purpose of this' study is to examine an aspect of rural education; viz: black farm schools in the 'white' commercial farming areas. It is argued that the provision of farm schools is intricately linked to the labour requirements of farmers and consequently farm schools cannot be understood independently from the social relations within commercial farming areas. The impact of local decision-making on the process of farm schooling is also significant and is an important aspect of this study. This thesis explores the political and socio-economic processes that have structured the provision of education within a small farming community, looking specifically at the effects of particular interest groups on the provision of black farm schools. The study operates on three levels. The first level provides a theoretical framework within which rural education can be better understood. It is argued that the bias towards urban areas is reflected in the current theoretical debates on the role and function of education ·in South Africa. As these theories are generally incapable of explaining rural education, an alternative model is proposed. As education cannot be understood in isolation from the rest of society, the second level of the study locates farm schooling within the broader political and socio-economic systems. This is done from two perspectives. The first perspective focuses on black education in general, tracing aspects of its development and highlighting the impact .of economic interests, white political control and black resistances to this development. The neglect of rural education is also contextualised historically and politically. The second perspective looks at rural education at a macro-level. The historical origins of the farm schools system and the effects of the relationship between agricultural capital and the state, and between farmers and farm workers on the process of farm schooling is examined. The final level of the study focuses on the micro-situation and provides an in-depth analysis of the political and socio-economic dynamics which have impacted upon the provision and process of farm schools within a specific farming community. In an attempt to understand the types of issues effecting farm schooling in this area, the attitudes of farmers, farm workers, farm- children and farm school teachers towards education are investigated. Four main issues were identified and are discussed in depth, viz: I) factors effecting the provision of black farm schools; 2) the relationship between education and the economic structure of the area; 3) the value of education; and 4) socio-economic factors effecting education in the area.

This study focused on the development of the Portable Practical Educational Preparation process from its inception in 1967 through fiscal 1981, and the historical-organizational phases it passed through as it evolved into its present configuration. The history of this unique organization, serving the migrant and rural poor in Arizona, was traced. PPEP, Inc, as a non-profit community-based organization whose fundamental philosophy is self-help, has been involved in many social and educational missions. Over the time period to be covered by this investigation, PPEP has served some 55,000 individuals in such diverse areas as adult basic education, classroom training, on-the-job training, social services, and self-help community projects. PPEP, Inc. has developed from an obscure beginning in a school on wheels, "La Tortuga", a converted 1957 Chevrolet 35-passenger bus, to Arizona's largest multi-funded non-profit service agency whose practical achievements have drawn international attention. Today, a comprehensive umbrella of services to low-income rural people has been realized through a network of community-based aides with professional and technical support staff. The PPEP philosophy includes the following: (1) To involve those who are less fortunate in carrying out meaningful programs to eliminate rural poverty; (2) To help overcome the problems faced by rural people by mobilizing public and private resources in support of these programs; (3) To plan, coordinate and evaluate both short- and long-range strategies for overcoming poverty and underdevelopment in rural communities.

A research report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education (Coursework and Research Report), University of the Witwatersrand. / This research report examines the nature of drama as a means of facilitating adult learning, especially in the South African rural context, by conducting a literature review and by compiling case studies of the use of drama at Akanani, an association. of rural development projects in South Africa where theatre-for-development is the principal methodology employed. The literature review explores the use of drama as a methodology in education and then focuses on how and why theatre-for-development has been used in Africa for community development and empowerment. The international developments in popular theatre are also considered so that as much information as possible can feed into the guidelines which are this report's conclusions. This chapter concludes with a consideration of how drama can be used for adult learning in South Africa. This research was conducted primarily by compiling a number of case studies of the use of drama at Akanani in the far northern Transvaal. Participant observation, illuminative evaluation and semi-structured interviews were used within a Participatory Research apprgach to gather information about Akanani. The researcher spent two periods of time at Akanani conducting the interviews and observing the daily operations as well as the use of drama in various contexts at Akanani. The cases studies were compiled to discover whether drama, as it is used at Akanani, is a successful and appropriate methodology for adult education in the rural areas of South Africa. This research finds drama to be a a very effective means of facilitating learning amongst adults in rural areas and concludes by offering guidelines for the use of drama as a methodology in adult education in South Africa, especially in the rural areas.

Orientador: Rosa Fátima de Souza / Banca: Sandra Cristina Fagundes de Lima / Banca: Maria do Rosário Longo Mortatti / Resumo: Apresentam-se resultados de pesquisa de Mestrado em Educação, com o objetivo geral de reconstituir aspectos da história da escola primária rural no Estado de São Paulo, focalizandose as Granjas Escolares, os Grupos Escolares Rurais e as Escolas Típicas Rurais, implementadas no período de 1933 a 1968. Mediante abordagem histórica, centrada em pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, utilizam-se como corpus documental dois periódicos educacionais - a Revista de Educação de 1933 a 1961 e a Revista do Professor de 1934 a 1965; os Annuarios do Ensino do Estado de São Paulo de 1935-1936 e 1936-1937; os Relatórios anuais das Delegacias Regionais de Ensino de 1933 a 1945; as Mensagens dos Governadores do Estado de São Paulo; a Legislação Federal entre 1933 e 1967; a Legislação estadual que normatizava a educação rural entre 1933 e 1968 e livros relacionados à temática produzidos e em circulação no período delimitado para a pesquisa. Os resultados apontam que as escolas estudadas foram concebidas visando o atendimento de demandas prementes no momento histórico de sua implementação. Essas demandas estavam relacionadas à formação de uma identidade nacional, fixação do homem no campo, difusão do sanitarismo, formação para o trabalho, entre outras. As três modalidades de escolas estudadas representaram um número bastante restrito no conjunto das escolas primárias rurais do Estado de São Paulo e apresentaram muitos pontos convergentes com a concepção ruralista de educação. / Abstract: In this work it is presented the research results of master's degree in education, with the overall objective of restoring aspects of the history of rural elementary school in the State of São Paulo, focusing the Granjas Escolares, Grupos Escolares Rurais and Escolas Típicas Rurais, implemented over the period from 1933 to 1968. Through historical approach, focused on bibliographic and documentary research, using as documentary corpus two educational journals - Journal of Education from 1933 to 1961 and the journal of Professor from 1934 to 1965; the annuaries of teaching in the State of São Paulo from 1935 to 1936 and from 1936 to 1937; the annual reports of the Regional Departments of education from 1933 to 1945; the messages of the Governors of the State of São Paulo; Federal legislation over 1933 and 1967; State legislation that regulated the rural education over 1933 and 1968 and theme-related books produced and in circulation in the period defined for the research. The results indicate that the studied schools were projected to meet the pressing demands on the historical moment of its implementation. These demands were related to the formation of a national identity, attachment of the man in the field, the sanitation diffusion, training for work, among others. The three types of schools studied represented a very restricted number of rural elementary schools in the State of São Paulo in Brazil and they presented many points converged with ruralist conception of education. / Mestre

Thesis (MTech. degree in Education) -- Tshwane University of Technology, 2009. / The purpose of the study was to determine whether rural farm educators are managing the Revised National Curriculum Statement as a new approach to teaching the curriculum of outcomes-based education. For this purpose, Witbank 3 rural farm primary schools were selected. The study followed a qualitative approach. Data were collected from three principals and three educators who were all teaching multi-graded (combined grades) classes. The study found that the educators and the principals were not coping with the demands of the curriculum, therefore learners did not benefit from their everyday learning. The educators felt that there is too much paperwork involved in managing the implementation of the curriculum. The lack of support from parents, subject advisors and the deputy chief education specialist (circuit manager) is detrimental to managing the implementation of Revised National Curriculum Statement. This has led to a serious communication breakdown among these stakeholders. The research revealed grey areas in the Revised National Curriculum Statement in its interpretation of learning. The policy states that every child has the potential to learn, but it fails to state the conditions that allow for effective learning to all the learners. The study also found that the training received at the workshops is suitable for urban schools. Educators struggle to apply the teaching and learning strategies at rural farm schools. Subsequently rural farm educators resort to using the old traditional (telling and recalling) method of teaching/learning.
