EDUCATION IN THE YEAR 2031!!!!!
The University of Chicago, in 1931, invited professors
from the Department of Education to create a one
page statement, titled Prophecies, predicting the
state of education 100 years later. Predict whether or
not the statements made were true or false.
Educational practices
would lead toward
adoption of a universal
language.
UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
True
False
UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
This statement was true: “I expect much progress
to be made toward a universal language.” Prophecy
V
Students would follow
a method similar to
Montessori’s ideas – self
motivated and directed,
independently studied,
and with individualized
plans for students in
non-university settings.
MONTESSORI?
True
False
MONTESSORI?
This statement was true: “individual lesson sheets
and assignments are provision in education that will
continue to care for the separate needs of individual
pupils in the future.” Prophecy XIX
“The young people will increasingly get their own
education under self-direction as guided by their
knowledge of the science of human behavior.”
Prophecy II
Advances in the science of
education will progress to
the degree that teachers
and administrators will have
clear understandings of how
to acquire desired results
and diagnose and address
learning disabilities.
SCIENCE OF EDUCATION
True
False
SCIENCE OF EDUCATION
True!
“Most of the problems which baffle classroom teachers today, such as
the diagnosis and treatment of disabilities in learning and the control of
learning, will be so well understood by teachers in general…” XV
“The administration of education will likewise have become a science,
and administrative officers will have become a science, and
administrative officers will have such control of the facts which influence
education that administrative difficulties will no longer be offered as
excused for failure to put into practice the contributions of educational
science.” XV
Emphasis in education
will shift from reading,
writing, and arithmetic
to social sciences and
human understandings.
SOCIAL UNDERSTANDINGS
True
False
SOCIAL UNDERSTANDING
“Greater emphasis will be placed upon an understanding of
social institutions, modes of social behavior, and principles
of social organization.” VI
“The science of human behavior will come to rank as the
most important science, and all persons up to the limits of
their ability will become familiar with it.” III
“What we know today as the “social studies” will assume a
predominating place in secondary education.” XII
New technologies will
be incorporated into the
educational process –
radio, television, and
moving pictures will
provide students with
opportunities for first
hand experiences of
distant places.
TECHNOLOGY!
True
False
TECHNOLOGY
So true it hurts! “Entire schools and other educational
institutions will be transported by air to distant points in
order that pupils and students may obtain first-hand
information and make personal observations.” XVI
“The present typical American method of teaching
subject by use of highly condensed textbooks will give
place to far better methods of teaching - …use of
libraries, pictures, television, and direct observation.” I
