
Agricultural Age: This was a time
when extended families lived
together. Children were
homeschooled or learned in a oneroom schoolhouse. People traveled
by foot or on a horse. The family
business was agriculture.


Industrial Age: This age
saw the introduction of
nuclear families.
Factories became the
way to make money.
Children attended
public schools where
they were grouped by
age and grade level.


Information Age: During this
era, families changed yet
again to represent broken
homes, i.e. there were one
parent households and in
some two parent households,
both parents were the same
sex. Electronic technology
took off and included cell
phones, computers, various
vehicles, and the internet.

Communication Age: This is the
newest age. It has taken
technology to a new level.
Families haven't changed much
but technology has expanded to
allow people to ignore distance
and live, work, and collaborate
together. This era depends on
social media as a vehicle for this
collaboration. It allows us to
share and spread ideas with the
click of a button. School has
morphed to include technology
and, in some cases, has allowed
for a move back to a "one-room
schoolhouse" in a digital sense.

The country was rapidly
growing with the continued
influx of people moving here.
 The year that showed the
biggest growth for
immigrants was 1907. By the
end of the decade the
population of the United
States sat at 91,000,000.
 1/3 of the people in the U.S.
lived in an urban area and
because of this agricultural
jobs were being
systematically replaced by
industrial jobs.

By 1910, 1/3 of the
workers were female
although there was a
definite division of labor
at work.
Only certain occupations
were open to women –
teaching, retail sales,
nursing, & clerical work.
Women were not paid as
much as men.

Many corporations were
now requiring degrees for
their workers: they had to
go to college or complete
training programs.
Many people were getting
many things patented –
patent attorneys were in
high demand.
People made more money.
Coupled with the
emergence of credit cards,
consumer spending sky
rocketed.

America saw a transition in
the type of economy that
existed: we went from an
industrial to a consumer.
Businessmen had a very
small amount of faith in
the new economic
philosophies that were
being developed.
This was also the time of
the Great Depression – an
economic depression that
effected the world. It was
the biggest one in
existence.

The Great Depression ended by the
middle of this decade.
America largely profited from the
beginning of World War II in 1939. It
helped us climb out of the Great
Depression.
America became the largest arms
producer in the world because of
WWII. This also helped our
economy.
The Cold War began in 1947 and
lasted for almost 50 years.
During this time, many women
were finding themselves needing to
work due to the large number of
men being sent overseas to the war.
The All-American Girls Professional
Baseball League (started in 1943) is
an example of this.

This was a simple time in
our country. Men were the
main breadwinners and
women typically stayed
home with the family.
Confidence in the business
community was high.
People felt like there was
nothing they couldn’t do.
There were many small
businesses and people
were supporters of their
local businesses rather
than large corporate-type
stores.

The housing and
computer industries
became the largest,
overpowering chemicals,
automobiles, and
electrically powered
consumer durables.
Automobile companies
had higher incomes than
all the agriculture
companies in the U.S.
The economy was at one
of its strongest points.

The emergence of the
Vietnam War hurt the U.S.
economy badly.
There was an energy
shortage and a large number
of people who were
unemployed.
Inflation was at an all-time
high.
Many of those unemployed
were soldiers returning from
Vietnam. Women in the
workforce also contributed to
the high unemployment rate.
This was a terrible time for
the U.S. economy.

Economic recession was
effecting much of the
world.
Capitalism was returning
and people were buying
things such as European
cars and designer clothes.
During this decade,
America became a true
economic giant. We were
trading transpacifically and
this helped solidify our
status as a world economic
power.

The internet heavily
influenced this decade.
Suddenly, the world was
more accessible to more
people and this influenced
business greatly.
This was a time of
prosperity for the U.S.
Personal incomes doubled.
Women were finally able
to fully participate in the
workforce/education and
were thus able to obtain
more of a variety of
jobs/careers.

A global financial crisis
began in the United
States and effected

Cognitivism came to the
United States in the 1920s.
This theory rests heavily
on the need for teachers to
help activate schema and
create new learning.
It believes that students
must think about
information to learn.
Learning happens in the
brain. It is an internal
process.
Teachers must provide
scaffolding to help build
background knowledge.
B.F. Skinner

ns/thumb/3/3f/B.F._Skinner_at_Harvard_circa_
1950.jpg/220pxB.F._Skinner_at_Harvard_circa_1950.jpg
Developed by B.F. Skinner.
It began to make an
impact in the 1960’s.
 This theory has three basic
concepts: Learning
happens when a change in
behavior happens, the
environment helps shape
behavior, and timing and
reinforcement help explain
the learning process.
 Conditioning changes
behavior. There are two
types: Classical and
Operant.

Ivan Pavlov – Classical Conditioning
Classical Conditioning:
desired behavior is
made a reflex response
to some sort of a
provocation.
 Operant Conditioning:
behavior is reinforced
with either a reward or
a punishment.

This theory became a big deal in
the late 1980s.
Learning is “constructed” using
the learner’s background
knowledge. The learner creates
new ideas/concepts.
Learning is personal. It happens
within the learner and is not
necessarily influenced by
outside sources. It comes from
ideas that have been
internalized.
It is a free exploration of ideas
within a structure.
Montessori schools draw from
this theory.

Evolution becomes part
of the public high school
curriculum. There are
more students going to
high school so more
students are learning
this idea.
By 1905, evolution is
being challenged and
pitted heavily against
fundamentalist beliefs.
Evolution continues to be
challenged by religion. A
further delineation of the
religious point of view and
the evolutionist point of
view become apparent.
 In 1923 in Oklahoma, the
first anti-evolution bill is
passed. It bans the
teaching of Darwin’s
theories of creation.
 Legal battles continue over
the types of teaching that
can take place in schools.

In 1962 through 1963,
the Supreme Court bans
prayer in school. This
didn’t stop it from
happening in areas
where there was a large
conservative Christian
population.
Laws against teaching
evolution are ruled
unconstitutional.
Religion continues to
fight against the removal
of God in schools.
Equal Time Bills become
popular. Creationists
created this idea that equal
time should be spent
teaching the evolution and
creation sciences.
 Many people were against
this. They said that biblical
teachings had no place in
public school science
classrooms.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/th In 1987, the Supreme Court

Religion reaches into the
content of science textbooks. In
some southern states, textbook
publishers are required to add a
disclaimer to inform students
that the content of the book is
not meant to influence their
belief in God and creationism.
In 1999, Kansas stops teaching
evolution. Other scientific ideas
that are dropped are the Big
Bang and anything that assumes
that the world is billions of years
old.
Also in 1999, the Columbine
Shootings are blamed on the
removal of God from public
schools.

In February of 2001, a
newly elected school board
overturns the Kansas’s
previous decision to
eliminate non-religiously
rooted ideas from the
science curriculum.
In the 2000s, the United
States remains split over
the evolution vs.
creationism debate.
Discussion is still
happening on religion’s
role in the public school
setting.
