Child development laboratory schools are found on college and
university campuses throughout the U.S. Over the last century, they
have acquired a long, rich history. Originally seen as settings for
the new field of child study in the early 1900s, their functions
have evolved over time. These programs often play a central role in
supporting teaching, research, and outreach/engagement activities
in the fields of child development and early childhood education.
Yet, many have had to fight for their existence when economic times
have gotten difficult. Many long-running programs have had to
close. This book provides a unique perspective on the purpose and
function of child development laboratory schools and the potential
of large-scale research to examine important world problems. The
individual stories presented are real stories that offer reasonable
solutions and ideas for maximizing the value of these venerable
institutions. Most importantly, the authors demonstrate how child
development laboratory schools can address the criticisms often
lodged regarding their lack of relevancy and focus on real-life
problems and solutions. The range of perspectives includes
university faculty trying to maximize research that is applied in
nature as well as redefining what and where a laboratory is, both
in the university and in the community. The message is clear that
child development laboratory schools are alive and well, and
continuing to evolve.
