| contents | Looking at Britain's National Curriculum for English: Promoting Long Established Children's Fiction and Stories from a Variety of Cultures and Traditions. Visscher, Helga B. British National Curriculum Childrens Literature Educational Finance Foreign Countries Information Skills Library Materials Library Skills National Competency Tests National Programs Reading Materials Secondary Education Standardized Tests In 1989, England implemented the National Curriculum for state schools, which made prescriptive demands on teaching content and approach. This study discusses the requirements of and the controversies surrounding the National Curriculum, and the titles of books being promoted for student reading which reflect long-established children's fiction and stories from a variety of cultures and traditions. Library holdings were checked, observations made, and school staff interviewed at two schools in Guildford, Surrey (England). With the National Curriculum, students are offered a comprehensive reading list through all the school years. National standardized tests are given at four key stages and there are assessment and attainment targets for all required subjects at 10 levels. Reading also includes library and information skills to be taught through the grades. The Library Association has summarized certain information skills which form the basis of the new curricula. The two schools that were observed are well respected secondary schools, but both are short on library materials. Since funding is tied to the number of students at a school, schools need to spend money on promotional materials in order to gain more students. The biggest problems include the lack of time and resources for meeting all the requirements and the lack of an established school policy. (Contains 16 references.) (AEF) |
