| Popis: | The necessities of administration force schools to systematize the curriculum. Since the reasons are numerous and pressing, there is a strong tendency to over-systematize, to mechanize, and to standardize the curriculum. For meeting present-day conditions, our people need a large amount of reliable information. The simple and logical thing to do is to discover the information needed, to lay it out in sequential form for the twelve grades of the public schools, and then simply to have it studied and mastered. The people need certain well-known skills. The logical thing is to lay out a set of scientifically graded drill exercises that will produce these skills. Thus, years ago, we institutionalized drill and memorization of information as the substance of education. |
