- Summary:
-
This study inquired into the relationships between (1) the role school plays in preparing children for adult life and the attitudes of children, teachers, and parents toward schooling; (2) the school curriculum and children's out-of-school experiences; and (3) curriculum content and Western influences on teaching styles. This study is a followup of similar research on teaching practices and children's responses in four New York City elementary schools in socially contrasting neighborhoods (middle income black, middle income white, lower income black, and lower income white) that revealed ways in which the socializing feature of the schools hindered the educational function. In the Zambian study, running records were taken of 44 hours of classroom sessions; short interviews were conducted with 454 children; and additional interviews were obtained from 15 teachers, 195 parents, and 18 other adults.
