Student Experiences of
School Reform & Social Change• Progressive era reformers (such as
John Dewey and others, 1890s-1930s) called for bold changes in teaching and learning.
• How did various groups of students and teachers actually experience Progressive era school reform?
• Did educational policy influence classroom practice -- or not?

Larry Cuban, How Teachers Taught
• Source materials to address the research question:– Photographs of Progressive-era classrooms– Textbooks used in classrooms– Student recollections from this period, in diaries or memoirs
– Teacher self-reports written during this period
– Reports written by classroom visitors– Descriptions of classroom architecture (building plans and classroom layouts, placement of desks, etc.)

Larry Cuban, How Teachers Taught
• Definitions for analyzing photographs:• Teacher-centered instruction:
– Teacher talk dominates student talk– Frequent use of whole-group instruction– Use of class time determined by teacher– Classroom organization usually rows facing board
• Student-centered instruction:– Student talk on learning tasks equal to teacher talk
– Individual or small/med group instruction, rather than whole
– Students help to choose and organize content– Teacher permits student to partly choose rules of behavior
– Varied instructional materials (centers) available in classroom

Cuban’s thesis:
• Some student-centered instructional practice appeared in elementary schools between 1920-40, but only in one-fourth of the school districts that systematically tried to implement it; unevenly throughout the day.
• These small changes were enough to allow policy rhetoric to flourish, though its real impact was quite limited.

In Cuban’s other book, Teachers and Machines, he argues that technological innovation (radio, television, computers) has not altered traditions of teacher-centered classroom instructional practice.
