摘要
This volume addresses one of the central issues in education: how best to instruct our students. From the late Jeanne S. Chall, former Professor of Education at Harvard University and a leading figure in American education, the book reviews and evaluates the many educational reforms and innovations that have been proposed and employed over the past century. Systematically analyzing a vast body of qualitative and quantitative research, Dr. Chall compares achievement rates that result from traditional, teacher-centered approaches with those resulting from progressive, student-centered methods. Her findings are striking and clear: that teacher-centered approaches result in higher achievement overall, with particular benefits for children of lower socioeconomic status and those with learning difficulties. Offering cogent recommendations for practice, the book makes a strong case for basing future education reforms and innovations on a solid empirical foundation.

How best to instruct students is the central theme of the late Jeanne S. Chall's last book. Chall reviews and evaluates the many educational reforms and innovations that have been proposed and employed over the past century. She systematically compares the achievement rates that result from traditional, teacher-centered approaches with those resulting from progressive, student-centered methods. The author shows that certain basic distinctions have remained the same; one approach is concerned with academic learning while the other focuses more on student development and motivation. The findings presented are very clear: teacher-centered approaches result in higher student achievement overall. The ten chapters focus on all aspects of the issue including thorough discussions of traditional, teacher-centered education versus progressive, student-centered education trends in reading, mathematics, science, and social studies, and conclusions and recommendations. An appendix shows the key differences between the two strategies in a clear, concise manner. Highly recommended at all levels. ; University of Central Florida
