Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Adjustment of a School to Individual and Community Needs This study represents an attempt to apply to the organization and management of a school the principles of efficiency underlying scientific management in industry. The school under consideration, the Stanton-Arthur, comprises the kindergarten and the eight elementary grades, and constitutes a unit school organization in the large public school system of the city of Philadelphia, Pa. Consideration of the aims and methods of this unit school in the light of the aim of education and the efficiency principles reveals the necessity of modifications for detailed adjustment to the peculiar conditions surrounding the school. In Chapters II and III both external and internal conditions, which tend in any way to influence or circumscribe the work of the school, are analyzed in some detail. Social, economic, legal, financial and administrative conditions, having been definitely ascertained, are accepted as standard, and, together with conditions internal to the particular school and its pupils, are taken into account in shaping the aims, organization and operations of the school. The external standard conditions are further limited, for the present at least, by conditions internal to the school system, such as inadequate plant and equipment, the absence of efficiency reward for teachers, and insufficient provision for the most complete adjustment of content and method to the varying individual needs of pupils. Chapter IV comprises a study of the attainments of pupils so far as these may be determined by the use of standardized educational and psychological tests. Results reflect adverse conditions in many ways, and indicate the necessity of final adjustment of aims, methods and standardized attainments in order to secure a closer approximation to the achievement of the aim of education in each pupil.
