Education Representations of levels of education. Provisions for topics in the primary school curriculum (and feedback on the working assumption that topics in the secondary curriculum should continue to be classed in in that they are often pedagogically reduced versions of the specific subject). Treatment of issues in comparative education, with a special focus on the presentation of policy issues related to education and the state in 379. Suggestions for additions and changes throughout 370 Education.

Education Members

Representations of levels of education In Scandinavia, the compulsory education (0-9) is often treated as a unit in the literature. We have added an option to recognize this Kinds and types of schools

Elementary education in specific subjects Provisions for topics in elementary education in specific subjects elementary education in specific subjects : Review of all the numbers to make them reflect current curriculums Language arts revised to reflect language of edition and official and second languages

Policy issues related to education and the state in 379 The presentation of policy issues related to education and the state in 379 Update the DDC, make it reflect the recent process of harmonization (Bologna process) that takes place in Europe Provide notation to show support and control by regional intergovernmental organizations

Suggestions for additions and changes throughout 370 False friends and American bias *Foreign languages and bilingual instruction What does ”foreign” mean in a multilingual country? Kindergarten A German word, borrowed by many other languages Different meaning in different languages and also within a single language –Preschool education in general –Part time preschool for children during the last year(s) before school start –Prescool education based on the ideas of Friedrich Fröbel

930 – History of ancient world Geographic subdivision of /T2— Chronological subdivision of /T2— The time limit of 930/T2--3 Treatment of archaeological methods and antiquities from historical periods, i.e. medieval archaeology. Expansions of for different archaeological methods. Provision for specific topics of archaeology.

Geographic subdivision of / T2—31-39 Expansions for European regions and countries. Some examples: T2—368 *‡Scandinavia to 481 [formerly —363] Add to base number —368 the numbers following —48 in —481–489, e.g.,Denmark —3689; however, for Finland, see —4897 T2—369 *‡Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland to 486 [all formerly —364] Add to base number —369 the numbers following —49 in —492–494, e.g., Germanic regions in Netherlands —36921, Raetia —36947 [both formerly —363], Germania Inferior —3692, Belgica —3693, Helvetia —36943 [all formerly —364] For Raetia in Austria, see —36364 But not for all European regions and countries. Examples: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Finland, Russia

Geographic subdivision of (continued) The Roman Empire bias is still there, but explicit instead of implicit T2—395 2 *‡Sarmatia Class here *Ukraine to 640

Chronological subdivision of (proposal) Eolithic period discontinued The time periods in further subdivided Chronological divisions in 936 (Europe north and west of Italian Peninsula to ca. 499), using the same general pattern as in Examples (proposed new numbers underlined) Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age) Lower Paleolithic Age Including Acheulian culture Midlde Paleolithic Age Including Mousterian culture Upper Paleolithic Age Including Aurignacian culture, Solutrean culture

Chronological subdivision of (continued) The fixed end date of is a problem In some areas there is a collision between the general periods used in archaeology (Stone Age, Copper Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age) and the historical periods

Remaining issues The Roman Empire bias… Further geographic division to provide for the regions in a country Provide for archaeological works on later periods in 930 instead of classing them in Archaeology does not have the status of a discipline in DDC, but it is a discipline Is it a problem to mix early history and archaeology? Is the scattering of artefacts all over the scheme a problem if T2---3 is added showing the time and place? Does need to be expanded for different archaeological methods?

Archaeology – but not in DDC
