Psych 412 Final Exam with verified answers1. We saw the percentage of adolescents enrolled in school increased greatly over time
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| (1910-1940 especially) because: | |
1) The Industrial Revolution brought about urbanization and child labor laws (less kids
| | | | | | | | | | |
working, more in school)
| | | |
2) Immigration and Americanization of new citizens who needed to learn a new language,new
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
laws,policies,etc.(more immigrants in schools): What are some of the driving elements that
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| shifted the educational experiences of adolescence during the Age of Adolescence?
| | | | | | | | | |
| (1890-1930)
2. Traditionalism: Trends in U.S. Education | | | |
the purpose of education is the increase intellectual knowledge (original approach to
| | | | | | | | | | |
| education)
-ex:mathematics, english, exams, test-based knowledge, memorization (discontin- uous)
| | | | | | | |
3. Progressivism: Trends in U.S. Education | | | |
the purpose of education is to prepare for life (usually takes more time, but informa- tion is
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| better retained) |
-ex:physical education, arts, music, theater, home economics, application-based projects,
| | | | | | | | |
| building skills relevant to progress in the real world (continuous)
| | | | | | | | |
4. 1) Rise of Progressive Education in 1930s
| | | | | |
,in response to the Great Depression and child labor law concerns (people are struggling to
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
find jobs, so abilities learned via the progressive approach would help with this)
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
2) 1950s:People blamed falling behind in the space race with Russia's Sputnik Satellite on the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Progressivism.They believed that we should stress traditional classes like math and
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| science ($1 billion provided to schools for traditional classes, so these classes became
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| more popular again)
| |
3) 1960s/1970s: Baby Boom Generation resulted in more people looking for jobs, and
| | | | | | | | | | |
traditional education wasn't suitable to help these people get jobs, so we moved back to
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Progressivism
4) 1980s: During the Regan Years we began falling behind economically in terms of
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| technology, led to a demand for "back to the basics," or the core courses associated
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
with traditionalism
| |
5) 1990s: Completely new alternative forms of teaching developed like charter schools
| | | | | | | | | |
| (more progressive)
|
6) Early 2000s: "No Child Left Behind" - schools provide assistance to children who are
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| falling behind others and started the trend of standardized testing
| | | | | | | | |
,(traditional subjects): When and why did we see shifts betweenTraditionalism and
| | | | | | | | | | |
Progressivism over the course of the last 100 years?

| | | |
As a result, Large Schools have tried to compartmentalize (schools within schools)
| | | | | | | | | | |

| | | |
-can work with the right balance, but it often causes more problems and can be difficult to
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| achieve: What is considered the "ideal" school size and what have large schools tried to
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| do to get there with the least financial risk?
