 | | Faculty members in education at the University of Chicago have made many distinguished and internationally prominent contributions to education over the decades, from Dewey's philosophical writings and experimental school, to Ralph Tyler's rationale for the curriculum, to Benjamin Bloom's influential taxonomy of educational objectives. |
 | | The scholarly argument for having a department of education at a distinguished research university, then, is first, the importance of education as institutional domain, and second, the likelihood that the relationships between the core activities of education and their context would not be explored very systematically if there were no department. |
 | | In the previous five years at least one UCDOE student was also appointed to the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley, Teacher's College (Columbia University), and the University of Wisconsin, arguably the rest of the most competitive schools of education in the nation. |
