By William S. Learned

Book Overview

""A School System As An Educational Laboratory"" is a book written by William Setchel Learned in 1914. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the American school system and its role as an educational laboratory. Learned argues that schools should be seen as laboratories for experimentation and research, rather than simply places where students are taught. He believes that by studying the educational system, educators can identify areas for improvement and develop new teaching methods that are more effective.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the school system. Learned discusses the history of education in America, the role of teachers and administrators, curriculum design, and the importance of testing and evaluation. He also explores the relationship between schools and society, arguing that schools should be responsive to the needs of the community they serve.Throughout the book, Learned draws on his own experiences as a teacher and administrator to illustrate his points. He provides numerous examples of successful educational experiments and innovations, as well as failures that offer valuable lessons for future improvement.Overall, ""A School System As An Educational Laboratory"" is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the American school system. It offers a compelling vision for how schools can be transformed into dynamic, innovative learning environments that serve the needs of students and society as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
