| Popis: | The Elementaiy School Journal Volume 81, Number 2 o 1980 by The University of Chicago 0013-5984/81/8102-0013$00.75 Open education is a popular topic in educational discussions and literature. A review of the literature reveals that nearly all of those writing on the topic support open education. They have seen "it" work. It is difficult to be against an approach to education that is said to promise as much as open education-an approach that is reported to build on the needs and the interests of individual children, to help them develop responsibility and initiative and positive self-perceptions, and acquire the basic skills in reading, writing, and arithmetic, while at the same time making schooling enjoyable. Journal articles, books, doctoral dissertations, and documents on open education in the collection of the Educational Resources Information Center reveal little research evidence that either supports or refutes the alleged benefits of open education. The studies reported often used samples that are open to question. Some investigators chose samples without establishing the representativeness of the samples on the equivalence of the experimental and the comparison groups in the major variables that may have influenced the results. |
