Class Size And Student Achievement
[ send me this paper ]
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.

Clive Harber/Schooling as Violence
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page reflective paper on Clive Harber's book School as Violence, which is a provocative text that presents disturbing information that causes the reader to rethink some basic societal assumptions, such as the idea that education and formal schooling are an unequivocal "good" that can benefit any society at any stage of development. After successfully knocking the foundation out from under this supposition, Harber moves on to show that globally, education is often a questionable enterprise, one that more often as not indoctrinates children to violence, degradation and the acceptance of bigotry and authoritarianism. The writer reflects on Harber's points. No additional sources cited.

Communication And Education: School Management And Administration
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. The overall American educational system is feeling teacher apathy in waves of student/instructor discord, instructor/administrator dissension, missed school, unfinished assignments and a general indifferent attitude toward the whole learning process. Unfortunately, this is not describing the students -- it is the current state of mind some burned out teachers are experiencing in the classroom. The writer discusses that the critical link missing is that of a consistently positive and communicative relationship between educators and administrators. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Comparative Public Education and Health Policies
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing social policies in the US, Europe and Japan in the broad areas of education and health care. As in all things associated with national social policy, there are no easy answers to changes that could work best for all involved, and even the definition of the term 'best' varies between cultures. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages, and each can draw from the other both in lessons learned and in workable approaches to enhanced outcomes. Compared to Europe and Japan, the United States' social policies toward education and health care could prove unworkable in other situations but are evolving here in a manner acceptable in our culture. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
