Abstract

"Let me share with you a few excerpts from a recent report published in the NEA Journal, Today's Education, on future trends in education. " 'Biochemical and psychological mediation of learning is likely to increase. New drama will play on the educational stage as drugs are introduced experimentally to improve in the learner such qualities as personality, concentration and memory . . . .
" 'The roles and responsibilities of teachers will alter. . . . The basic role of the teacher will change noticeably. Ten years hence it should be more accurate to term him a learning clinician. This title is intended to convey the idea that schools are becoming "clinics" whose purpose is to provide individualized psychosocial "treatment" for the student thus increasing his value both to himself and to society.'
