Abstract

The Back-to-Basics movement has gained substantial momentum in the public schools since 1972. Although it is not a new concept in education, it is an approach which involves a much more structured emphasis within the classroom than had been practiced during the innovative times of the 1960’s and the early 1970’s. The impact of Back-to-Basics programs upon students, particularly in the affective and creative areas, has become a concern to educators who are facing increased demands for accountability and alternative education programs within the public schools. The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of Back-to-Basics education upon creativity, affectivity, and achievement of elementary students enrolled in these alternative programs as compared to students enrolled in the regular school program.
