The relationship between the open-space classroom design and the curriculum of the school as perceived by selected Indiana elementary school principals and elementary school teachersButterfield, Ronald Charles January 1975 (has links)
This study of Henry Fielding's Amelia was undertaken in an attempt to discern what Fielding was doing in this last novel, how he was setting about to achieve his purpose, why he felt that this purpose was important, and how successful he had been in achieving his goals. The unrevised first edition published by A. Millar (1752) was utilized because the original purpose of the novel and not the response to criticism was the concern of the study.The study first places Amelia within the period and events of its literary genesis and considers the reception and rejection of the novel 1) in light of the personal feuds between Richardson: and Johnson on the one hand and Fielding on the other, and 2) in light of the later generations of literary criticism.Amelia is considered within the context of the development of the Fielding canon to establish that Henry Fielding maintained essentially the same style, the same intention, and the same point of view in this last novel that he had presented in his more famous earlier novels as well as inhis drama and prose works. The qualities are found to differ from work to work only in degree of emphasis.The study shows through a careful examination of style, structure, and characters that the purpose in Amelia is to set forth the Art of Life as Fielding had previously set forth the Art of the Novel. Amelia Booth is a well-controlled character who mirrors acceptable emotional reaction of the wives of her day. As Captain Booth's alter-ego, she is the locus from which the circles of Life radiate; however, it is Captain William Booth who is the central character through whom the reader experiences the lessons in Virtue--wisdom and prudence--that make possible the eventual perception of the Art of Life. Booth emerges as the last in the succession of Fielding's heroes--a human, fallible, middle-class gentleman who is the prototype of the twentieth-century unhero. He is good-hearted but imprudent and naively myopic.Amelia, upon close examination, emerges as a tight, complex, and well-written novel. It is the product of a mature, vital, and creative artist whose first concern throughout his entire career was the Art of Life, which he felt was best perceived through observing the people, the circumstances, to hopes, and the problems of his time. Amelia emerges as a credible work of remarkable depth and cultural sophistication.

Organizing an elementary school programUnknown Date (has links)
This paper is the report of a study of school organization and of the elementary program of studies in general and of the application of specific principles evolved from such study to the Trapnell Elementary School, Hillsboroug County. Since some words in the English language have so many different meanings, the term "organization" should be clearly defined at the outset of this paper. If an elementary principal is asked about the organization used in his school, he will usually answer, "oh, we have a six-year elementary school: (or a seven-year or eight-year school, as the case may be), or "We have a departmentalized set-up." These answers may be very vague to a person unfamiliar with school organization in the elementary school. The term "organization", when applied to an elementary school, is a multiple or many-phased idea. / Typescript. / "August, 1955." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Marian W. Black, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 58-59).

Onderwyserbetrokkenheid by kurrikulering in die primêre skoolDe Wet, William Christoffel 10 February 2014 (has links)
D.Ed. (Curriculum Studies) / The subject of this research was defined as : the devising of strategies for increased teacher involvement in curriculum development, with a view to improving the quality of education. This effort to develop a paradigm for curriculum development showed that such a paradigm should be constructed using both philosophical and relevant procedural points of departure. Study of the literature and of personal correspondence received from developed countries indicated that the teacher should only be expected to participate in those areas of curriculum development which correspond to his training. In developed countries aspirant teachers receive training, not only in curriculum development at the microlevel (lesson planning), but also to equip them for involvement in curriculum development on the mesolevel. Training for the latter activity involves the acquisition of specific knowledge and skills in the field of curriculum development...

Impact of Core Knowledge Curriculum on Reading AchievementBrading, Aungelique R. 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Core Knowledge curriculum, a Comprehensive School Reform model, on the reading achievement of elementary students located in a north Texas suburban school district. A repeated measures, matched-comparison design was employed using longitudinal data over a three year period. Repeated measures analyses of variance (ANOVA) were conducted to determine if there were any significant differences in student achievement scores as measured by the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test. The experimental and control school were examined for student achievement gains overall, for advantaged versus disadvantaged students and for achievement gap differences. Although the results of the statistical analyses indicated that there were no significant differences in the reading TAKS scores of students participating in the study, experimental school students consistently had higher mean scores when compared to the control school in all areas. The evaluation of the achievement gap revealed that although the Core Knowledge school did not close the achievement gap between advantaged and disadvantaged students, the disadvantaged students' scores rose in proportion to the advantaged students, thus preventing an increase in the achievement gap between students.

A study of seventh-grade curriculums used in a consolidated elementary schoolBausell, Nellie B. January 1956 (has links)
This investigation was designed to secure data concerning the over-all effects of a high fox population on other game species, particularly the quail, rabbit, squirrel and ground-hog. In order to obtain a better understanding of the influence of the red fox upon other game species, some knowledge of the size of the populations of other game animals must be known. For this reason, a rather intensive study of the fox was made on the 2300- acre V.P.I. College Farms as some data were available on this area regarding the population and population changes in the quail, rabbit, squirrel and woodchuck. The study was carried on from April, 1950, to March, 1952. An extremely high fox population existed on the area during the period covered by the investigation (April, 1950, through March, 1952), so it was natural for the study to be carried on here. It is hoped that this investigation will point out some of the ecological factors which must be considered in determining a sound wildlife program for the management of the red fox and other game species on the same areas. / M.S.

A History of State Level Curriculum Legislation Affecting Texas Public Elementary Schools, 1950-1983Love, Dorothy Anne 12 1900 (has links)
The problem with which this study is concerned is that of tracing the history of state level laws and resolutions which affected the elementary school curriculum in Texas' public schools during the years 1950-1983. The roles of the legislature, the State Board of Education, and the State Department of Education in relation to the curriculum are presented. The purposes of the study are to review state level legislation since 1950 that affected the curriculum, to update the work of earlier historical accounts of public education in Texas, and to provide a basis for understanding the current state of curriculum by focusing on its evolution. Inspection of the data reveals that numerous topics were added to the elementary curriculum during the years under study, resulting in a fragmented and complex curriculum. Many of these topics were repealed in 1981. The study concludes that the State Board of Education and the State Department of Education, as well as the legislature exert considerable influence over the curriculum, and that this influence seems likely to increase as the result of reform legislation enacted in 1981. Further study relating to the implementation effects of the new curriculum is recommended.
