Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #2885 Education
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
In the more progressive schools throughout the world, attempts are being made to synthesis subjects previously taught separately. Examples of this are efforts to combine reading with literature and history with geography. In North America and Western Europe, innovation such as team teaching, the use of more teachers’ aides or clerks, and the establishment of ungraded school have been tried. Most significant and pervasive, however, has been the widespread and growing acceptance of the principle that elementary education should focus on activity and experience as well as on subject matter.
