| Title: | Current Trends In Educational Publishing: A Personal View |
| Author(s): | Follett, Robert J. R. |
| Subject(s): | Publishers and publishing --United States |
| Abstract: | Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of our times is the rapid increase in the rate of change. In whatever field one cares to look, the pace of change is accelerating. This is certainly true of education. Because educational publishing serves education, the really important trends in educational publishing are the result of changes in education or in society's view of education. My thesis, stated briefly and straightforwardly, is that there are two major trends at work in American education. The first is a shift in society's view of education: once considered an expense, education is now seen as an -Investment. The second is a shift in the emphasis from teaching to learning. Education as investment. Education as learning. These two phrases embody the ideas I hope to clarify and embroider. It will quickly be seen that the most important trends in educational publishing are a consequence of these two trends in education. |
