The faculty also authorized the development of a Childhood Education program which will begin in 1972.
The programs are two of seven recommendations made by the faculty's Committee on Academic Policy in an effort to consolidate the school's 22 doctoral programs and reorient its two master's programs.
The sharpest and most persistent criticism of the committee's proposals came from Fletcher G. Watson, Shattuck Professor of Education, and David V. Tiedeman, professor of Education.
"The job of the Ed School is the education of teachers," Watson told the faculty. "By supporting these proposals, you are preempting the faculty from the teaching area."
The Learning Environments program was developed in response to increasing student and faculty criticism of the school's traditional emphasis on teacher training within specific subject areas. Its aim is to study the effects of teaching environments on adolescents' emotional and intellectual growth.
