The ten dency to view the teacher as a kind, nice, and harmless lady in the \"little red schoolhouse\" has virtually disappeared. Apples for the teacher have been replaced by the wea ponry of hostility and sarcasm. The attempt to inject into the classroom the unreal world of Hansel and Gretel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Alice in Wonderland may still kindle sparks of wonderment in the eyes of children, but their dull, drab existence outside of class makes these efforts mockery. The clutching to the heart of such values and limited insights in relation to currently unfolding events should notify teachers that the time has arrived for a New Professional ism. Not one that completely discounts con tributing textbooks and techniques, but rather one that correlates direct application of the world outside of the classroom; its ethnic and geographical divisions; the roar of urban transition; the creeping tide of separatism; the destructive mark of white racism; the oppressive moves to curb liberalism; and the recalcitrant postures of conservatism. Add to this the imposing eyes of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; the angry protests of black militancy; the retreat by white America to the suburbs; the inequities and dire contrasts of school; ad infinitum. It should be clear that the professional ism that developed within the \"little red schoolhouse\" is now lost in the myriad of change. The New Professionalism must view these changes as alarms. As a part of the city, the classroom becomes not only the magnet that draws children but also becomes a thermometer that measures the social tem perature of our times. Integration of staff presents a challenge to the New Professionalism. It is not an ideal situation, neither can it be exhibited as a positive change without our reminding our selves of a few negative consequences.","PeriodicalId":47905,"journal":{"name":"Educational Leadership","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1972-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64562063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Barr","doi":"10.1093/jaarel/lv.3.569","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jaarel/lv.3.569","url":null,"abstract":"IF THINGS are important in in verse ratio to the ease with which they may be defined, religion must be very im portant indeed; for no one can define it in a way acceptable to everyone. This may be seen as a bit of a handicap to those pro posing to study religion, whatever it is. Importance aside, it is only recently— since the 1963 Supreme Court ruling on de votional Bible reading—that the schools have become sure of the propriety of the study of religion in public institutions. Since then such study has dramatically increased, the lack of definition being reflected in the variety of the projects. In the light of the success of these projects, it now seems absurd that religion was so neglected for so long. Of course, the importance of religion does not hinge on its definition. Religion has significantly influenced man's history and literature. One does not have to be a Toynbee to recognize the pervasive influence, for good and for bad, of religion in history. The same is true in literature: not only does a good deal of modern and traditional literature deal with religious themes (\"Religion and Literature\"), not only does literature use the Bible (\"Bible and Literature\"), but also much of the sacred writings of the world's religions has literary merit itself (\"Religious Literature\"). Other approaches could be differenti ated, but these three represent the basic ways religion affects the literature curriculum. Most current projects are limited to the latter two, and of these most deal with the Bible. The projects discussed in this article repre sent only a sampling of the activities under way. More information on these, and a host of others, is available from the Religious In struction Association, a clearinghouse on methods and materials for the study of re ligion in public education (P. O.

The ben efits of testing for these purposes, though, have accrued mainly to insti tutions and have generally not served learners directly. Therefore, critics have rightly questioned the pedagogi cal relevance of educational assess ment in its present form (McLean 1986, Frederiksen 1984). Recently, though, an exciting new vision of testing is emerging, in part from a sense of what is now techno logically feasible. For example, ad vances in cognitive science have made it possible to understand in some de tail how learning takes place in subject matter areas, such as science and mathematics. Likewise, the develop ment of item-response theory in psychometrics has enabled us to describe growth in expertise more precisely than ever before. And, of course, great strides in computer and related tech nologies have been made during the past decade. In short, converging forces portend a new generation of tests—tests that better serve the inter ests of teachers and students in pro moting learning.
