Inhaltsangabe

This book explores a radical proposal: that school systems serve as educational laboratories, continuously testing and evaluating teaching methods and practices. The author, a university researcher, collaborated with a Massachusetts school district to implement this concept. Their work, detailed within, identifies two distinct groups of educators: experienced practitioners and engaged scholars. The former often possess institutional knowledge and intuitive skill in their craft but lack formal training, while the latter bring academic rigor and a scientific mindset but may struggle with practical application. This book argues that bridging the gap between these two groups is essential for educational progress. It provides concrete examples of how to encourage teachers to critically analyze their own work and experiment with innovative approaches, and suggests ways to create a professional culture that values evidence-based decision-making.

Excerpt from A School System as an Educational Laboratory

Newton and the Division of Education of Harvard University. But for the breadth of view of the Newton School Committee and the generous interest of Mr. Joseph Lee, this cooperation could not have taken its present productive form.

Excerpt from A School System as an Educational Laboratory

To this Bulletin its projectors at Harvard and Newton attach special significance. It records the beginnings of an enterprise in which the Harvard Division of Education hopes in part to realize one of its fundamental aims - the solution of educational problems through research in the schools. The program of investigation the Bulletin presents is suggestive; and as this program is gradually elaborated and carried out either in Newton or elsewhere, it promises to yield results of objective value. Of equal importance is the cooperative scheme by which it is proposed that these results be reached. The study of school problems is not solely a function of university investigators, but of all teachers; and that teachers share the scientific labor which educational progress now demands is essential both for the sake of the school and for the sake of the teachers themselves. Dr. Learned has himself traced, in a study about to be issued by the Harvard University Press, the growth of teachers in Germany, as a class, toward the genuine professional freedom and mastery which such sharing produces. This Bulletin records what is probably the first attempt in America to make a school system its own educational laboratory.

A second Bulletin in this series is shortly to follow, setting forth the results of the effort to secure scales for the measurement of eighth grade English Composition. The results of other studies now in progress will be published in subsequent issues.
