Class Size And Student Achievement
[ send me this essay ]
This 32 page paper investigations the relationship between class size and student achievement. The introduction provides an overview of the information available. Part 1 provides an historical overview of the research on class size dating back to 1909. Those early studies did not find any positive correlation but they were riddled with problems that were overcome with better research designs and the introduction of standardized tests. Part 2 offers a literature review of more recent studies that have focused on the relationship between class size and student achievement. Despite clean, empirical studies over the last two decades, the controversy regarding large versus small class size and student achievement still exists. The writer explains why. The discussion and conclusion section ties the research together to make a generalized conclusion that the students who benefit the most from small class sizes in the primary grades are minority inner city students. Data are included. Bibliography lists 22 sources.

Communication: Not Taught In Schools
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. E. D. Hirsch, Jr. asserts that Americans lack the common knowledge that enables significant communication to take place and that the public schools are not teaching it; however, his is an unfashionable idea. For years, most educators have emphasized the learning process
and skills rather than an identifiable body of essential knowledge. While Hirsch's thesis might have some points of validity it does not take into consideration the extent to which contemporary educators are struggling just to teach the basics. Granted communication represents a primary tool
in the overall scheme of social survival, as well as a concept taught in school once upon a time; however, in today's precarious age it is imperative that public schools focus more upon the learning process and skills and hope to incorporate the attributes of communication. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
