Textul de pe ultima copertă
Inside the Black Box of Classroom Practice takes as its starting point a strikingly blunt question: With so many major structural changes in U.S. public schools over the past century, why have classroom practices been largely stable, with a modest blending of new and old teaching practices, leaving contemporary classroom lessons familiar to earlier generations of school-goers?
It is a question that ought to be of paramount interest to all who are interested in school reform in the United States. It is also a question that comes naturally to Larry Cuban, whose much-admired books have focused on various aspects of school reform their promises, wrong turns, partial successes, and troubling failures. In this book, he returns to this territory, but trains his focus on the still baffling fact that policy reforms no matter how ambitious or determined have generally had little effect on classroom conduct and practice.
For forty years, Larry Cuban has been a voice of thoughtful analysis amid the overwrought rhetoric of American education reform. His distinctive contribution updated, deepened, and extended in this book has been to focus our attention on the persistent gap between the misconceptions of policy elites and the realities of daily practice in the classroom. One hopes that the next generation of American educators will learn the essential lessons of Cuban s analysis more deeply than the current generation. Young people considering a career in education should hold the lessons of this book close to their hearts. Richard F. Elmore, Gregory R. Anrig Professor of Educational Leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education
Larry Cuban s well-written book convincingly demonstrates why current education reforms don t work, can t work, and won t work. Diane Ravitch, research professor of education, New York University
Anyone with a deep interest in public schools should read Inside the Black Box of Classroom Practice. Cuban takes the reader through the history of earnest efforts to improve our schools through technology, structural reforms, and accountability systems and shows why they have met with mixed and often disappointing results. His recommendations for us are both cautionary and hopeful, and always respectful of the dilemmas that teachers face each day they walk through the classroom door. Gary Yee, board director, District Four, Oakland Unified School District, and retired vice chancellor, Educational Services, Peralta Community College District
Larry Cuban is professor emeritus of education at Stanford University."
