A Comparison of Supervised Correspondence Study Pupils and Classroom Pupils in Achievement in School Subjects

THE LAST twenty-five years have witnessed the development of a new educational instrument in America. This instrument is Supervised Correspondence Study. Developed as a device for enriching the cur ricular offerings of small high schools and as a means of bringing edu cation to pupils isolated from regular schools by factors of distance or physical handicaps, this method of instruction has grown until today many thousands of young people receive all or part of their secondary schooling in this way. Despite the position of importance which Supervised Correspondence Study has come to occupy there is little research concerning this means of instruction. Most of the research which does exist is concerned with details of procedure. Very few studies attempt to evaluate the soundness of Supervised Correspondence Study as an educational device and those studies which do present evidence on this point were con ducted before the time when high school courses were prepared ac cording to carefully devised techniques, are limited in regard to the number of pupils involved, or deal with only a relatively small number of school subjects or with a limited subject matter area. Moreover, in few of the studies were control groups established.

Tips for Beginners: What are your pupils learning? Some suggestions on evaluation

Some time ago I visited a small high school in my state to observe the only mathematics teacher. She greeted me with the statement so often used by teachers when they don't want visitors, “I am so sorry you didn't come to see us yester-day.

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE FUNCTIONS OF THE REGIONAL DIVISIONS∗

SUMMARY The greatest deficiency in American geography is substantive research leading to scholarly publication. By comparison, teaching much more adequately developed so that the need for improvement there is not so urgent. I am convinced however that a majority American geographers respect scholarship and are eager to see improved in quantity and quality. One of the chief obstacles to the initiation of active research programs by many geographers is a poor development of a sense of problem. An important stimulation to the development of personal research programs would be the organization of geographical meetings of relatively small size in which active rsesearch workers reported on their progress and findings. Emphasis could be on exchange of ideas, debating of controversial issues and the development of research programs rather than upon the reading of formal papers. Instructors in small colleges and high schools could be inspired to undertake local research problems so that they become expert on heir ...

A. Research Concerning Supervised Correspondence Study

LET'S face it: The system of supervised correspondence instruction may be a wonderful tool administratively; it may have flexibility and adaptability in a thousand-and-one odd situations; it may look like the perfect answer to the problems of the small high school, the home-bound youngster, and so on. But, if it does not do a relatively successful job of teaching what is to be taught, all the rest is nothing. Therefore, in this chapter, let's look at some evidence: First, a summary of research on the subject, by one of the fore most students. Second, a more empitical description by one of the long-time leaders. And third, the evidence of success as it is shown in the steady growth of the movement.

The Small High School

It is only natural for a teacher in the Midwest to be interested in the small high school and to recognize that a school of this type has special problems of its own. My personal interest in these problems was heightened by our experiences in re-writing the Iowa Course of Study in Secondary School Mathematics a few years ago. We soon discovered that one of our major tasks was to make provision for the needs of the small schools; indeed, it is essentially true that the course of study was written for these schools.
