ABSTRACT

Originally published in 1965, this title looks at programmed learning, language laboratories, curricular reform, educational television, team teaching – these are just some of the fashions that were going to change education in the following decade quite as much as the introduction of comprehensive schools. Would anyone ever know what their effects are? Not unless there was a great expansion of research. The author of this book states the need for a marriage of innovation and research. The social sciences could gain as much as education. Today it can be read in its historical context.
