Since the First Schoolmen's Week was held in 1914 at the University of Pennsylvania, it achieved the status of a teachers' institute offering more than a hundred programs and attracting a total annual attendance of more than twenty thousand people. In 1916 the first Proceedings of Schoolmen's Week were published and these have continued to be published each year without interruption, making available to members of the teaching profession and to the general public many notable statements regarding the art, science, and craft of education.

This volume, edited by Frederick C. Gruber, represents a sampling of the papers delivered at the Forty-third Schoolmen's Week held in April, 1956. The subjects of these papers cover not only the general problems faced by our teachers and schools in a turbulent world atmosphere but specific matters relating to elementary and secondary education as well as to school administration.

From Helen C. Bailey's opening article, through Pearl Buck's moving discussion "In Search of Teachers"--in which she describes teaching as "the supreme task of creation"--and on through each of the succeeding twenty-four papers by leading educators, the reader of this volume is given an incisive and invaluable view of some of the key problems and important achievements of the teaching profession in America.

Educational Research, Methodology, and Measurement: An International Handbook
During the past decade new approaches to educational measurement have become more widely recognized and the use of computer programs has been developed to make sound use of the procedures and techniques associated with item response theory. However, the implications of these developments for research methodology have not yet been fully recognized. This Encyclopedia will address not only these changes for which the extent of developments are currently becoming evident but will also look forward to the major advances in the methods employed in empirical research which will arise from the use of improved measurement and scaling procedures.The Encyclopedia is divided into three sections. The first section seeks to provide a broad coverage of topics related to the methods of educational inquiry. This section includes articles that trace the history of educational research and the methods of both humanistic and scientific research which are linked by a key article on research in education: epistemological issues. Other general articles consider the methods of evaluation and policy-oriented research. The contribution of critical theory is also discussed. The second section includes articles on research methodology and statistical analysis, with consideration given to increasing both the strength of inferences from evidence and the confirmation of hypotheses and models developed from theory. The procedures employed in both the humanistic and scientific approaches, as well as in a wide range of techniques employed in the statistical analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data are also presented. The third section contains articles on measurement for educational research and covers the fields of measurement theory, achievement testing, attitude measurement and the applications of measurement in research. The focus of this section is towards the improvement of measurement for educational research. Articles include updated and revised material from the "International Encyclopedia of Education, 2nd Edition" (described by "Choice" as being "a premier reference work when judged on virtually every criteria applied to a reference work") together with newly commissioned material.
