Universiv M Ioaïlm S International INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed.

Hilda Taba (1902-1967), a woman of strong leadership and astute scholarship, was a twentieth-century pioneer in curriculum development who contributed conspicuously to major developments in American education. Although her accomplishments were varied and numerous, her collaborators are often better known. Having studied under William Heard Kilpatrick and John Dewey, Taba’s educational theories and practices derived from progressive educational philosophy. Taba contributed several important ideas to the curriculum field, many of which remain at the forefront of curriculum discourse and practice. Born in Estonia, Taba came to the United States in 1926 as a European Fellow at Bryn Mawr College, where she earned her master’s degree. She continued graduate work with a doctorate in educational administration at Teachers College, Columbia University, the center of progressive educational thought in the 1920s and 1930s.

  • Hilda Taba.Pdf
    Hilda Taba Hilda Taba was an architect and curricular theorist born in Estonia in 1902. Taba studied English and Philosophy and earned her undergraduate degree at Tartu University in Estonia. She then went on to earn her Master’s degree at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania studying the relationships between democracy and the curriculum. From here she would then go on to work with progressive educators such as Boyd Bode, William Kilpatrick, and John Dewey at Columbia University where she would study and earn her doctorate. During her doctoral work and continuing onwards Taba believed that education should be a dynamic and interactive phenomenon where children are taught to think instead of just regurgitating facts. Taba argued that children should learn to solve problems and resolve conflicts together as a group, not individually (Taba, 1979). Most notably, Taba believed that teachers had to teach an efficient and organized curriculum with students being evaluated using appropriate tools (Taba, 1966). Taba was such an influential curricularist that Ralph Tyler invited her to be a part of the Eight-Year Study. Taba was tasked with researching the attitudes and problems in a students’ social life and the impacts this has. Taba focused on the measurement of the attitudes towards class, ethnicity, race as well as focusing on the social studies curriculum. In 1951 Taba took a position at the San Francisco State College. Here Taba did much of her research on curricular development. Taba’s curricular research and development provided a blueprint for curriculum development in the twentieth century (Fraenkel, 1992; Krull, 2003).

  • THE Tegacy of HILDA TABA
    Journal of Cumrululm and Supervision 56 Fall 2002, Vol. 18, No. 1, 564-)2 THE tEGACY OF HILDA TABA ARTHUR L. COSTA, California State University, Sacramento RICHARD A. LOVEALL, California School Boards Association ABSTRACT: Today's educational policymakers face complex issues as they struggle to prepare students as thoughtful citizens and productive contributors to the econ- omy simultaneously. Recent national trendls indicate that more ancd more data are expected to be mastered as part of content standards. To ensure that what is learned is the most enduring, the following quLestions are posed and answered: How should facts be identified for mastery? What knowledge is the most lasting? How is content to he effectively used for maximurm application? lHow can student achievement be best assessed? The late Hilda Taba left a valuable legacy in her seminal 1962 book, Curriculum Development. Theory and Practice.In this work and other writings, she answered the important questions for educational policymakers of today. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary reflections and bold ac- tions. The daunting task facing the United States is to equalize educational opportunities for all its children at a time when more of our students come from homes with fewer economic re- sources. At the same time, society demands better-educated high school graduates. With the development and adoption of curriculum standards throughout the United States, there seems to be a concerted effort for content coverage for coverage's sake. And now the federal gov- ernment has entered the field with national annual testing require- ments for grades 3 through 8. The intent of these trends is to create an even more powerful economy and a more informed citizenry for a continued strong democracy.

  • Hilda Taba (1902–1967)
    The following text is taken from Prospects (UNESCO, International Bureau of Education), vol. XXXIII, no. 4, December 2003, p. 481-91. ©UNESCO:International Bureau of Education, 2003 This document may be reproduced free of charge as long as acknowledgement is made of the source. HILDA TABA (1902–1967) Edgar Krull* Although Ernest Hemingway once stated that in each port of the world you could meet at least one Estonian, it is a rare occurrence when the existence and achievements of great personalities originating from this 1 million strong nation are associated with their native country and nation in the minds of their foreign colleagues. In this sense Hilda Taba is not an exception. She is known worldwide as an outstanding American educator and curriculum theorist, but very few know that she was born, brought up and educated in Estonia. Probably, even more surprising is the fact that Taba, belonging to the list of the most outstanding educators of the twentieth century and whose academic work climaxed with the publication of the monograph Curriculum development: theory and practice (1962), remained unknown in her native country for decades. So, in spite of the fact that Taba’s approach to curriculum design spread throughout the world and her monograph took an honourable position on the bookshelves of European education libraries in the 1960s, her educational ideas reached Estonian educators only at the end of the 1980s. The above-mentioned circumstance is one of the many controversial aspects in Hilda Taba’s life that evidently played an important role in her development as a scientist and gave a unique colouration to her educational ideas.
