A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PUPIL ACHIEVEMENT UNDER DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONAL PLANS FOR SEVENTH GRADES

LOUIS FREDRICK HEGER, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

The most desirable school organization for providing an adequate transition from the self-contained classroom of the elementary school to the departmentalized organization of the contemporary high school has been of concern to our society since the inception of the first junior high school over sixty years ago. Generally, three types of organizational plans are in practice in the American school systems; namely, the self-contained, the core, and the departmentalized classroom. While these three organizational plans are employed in a variety of combinations in the junior high schools, the greatest concern appears to be over which plan most adequately meets the needs of seventh-grade pupils.The research, this far, has not been too conclusive and has failed to support any particular type of organizational plan. The research has been confined, primarily, to the achievement of pupils in various administrative units. Little research has been presented to support an adequate organizational plan of instruction for seventh-grade pupils to provide for the transition between the elementary school and the senior high school.
