c.      

Address three of the following points.

·         The above events are still significant because the impact it had in the Education sector and the economy of the continent of Europe are still felt to date. For instance, the Renaissance also known as ‘Rebirth period’ a period characterized by massive changes in the economy sector, the period of was characterized by the fall of feudal system. For this reason, the events are still significant.

·         If these events could have taken place, I would choose, The Reformation of Education, this is because during this event, it was possible to bring to an end the constant abuses from the Roman Catholic churches to in congregation.

·         The following are the end result of the above events, Reformation lead to the decline of Roman Catholic churches, Renaissance, 13th , 14th Century led to the decline of the federal system, Spanish and French Exploration especially in Florida let to the development of more permanent settlement in the Europe continent, this later on become what is currently known as the United States of America. European powers in North America, 1st, Jan, 1770 let to the establishment of many primary, secondary and university schools in the Europe, this offered an opportunity for the Latin American to get access to education, the last event which is the establishment of New England Colonies In the North America, 17th , in the event, the Europeans wanted to colonize the whole of North America, but they failed to established their colonies in the center of influence leading to the colonization of America by the Spanish. 

Week 2

Part A: List of Events

          Chapter three and four talks about the historical events majorly on education. It was as a result of the movements that United States enjoys some of the education privileges like education for women and black Americans. Among some of the events include; ratification of education under the articles of confederations and the constitution, this was first ratified in 1781. The second event was the republican educational theorists including the establishment for the movement for education for women and African American by Rush in 1787. The next one was the emergence of the public high school in 1821 which offered education beyond elementary level. The fourth event was the developments in the higher education in the early national period. The last event was the movement for educating teachers in 1823(Watras, 2008).

Part B

The development in higher education in the early national period and education of teachers

          The two movements aimed at making curriculum more relevant to the demands of the society by having teachers who could understand the needs of the society and the students and be able to deliver that which could benefit them. They both gave a chance to females to rake part in education both at learning and at teaching the students. The two events developed special curriculum which were used to guide the education systems and they both aimed at improving the systems of education (Watras, 2008).

The unique element in the development of higher education in the early national period was the movement for educating women in the new republican which was named as the cult domesticity. Alternatively, the unique element in educating the teachers was the establishment of various institutes for training the teachers like the Colombian school in concord.
