“…Additionally, a recent parallel historical study of reading textbooks reports evidence of rising cognitive demand in what young students are asked to do with a text (Stevens, in press). Also, a similar shift was found in a comparison of the cognitive skills tested in high-stakes school examinations early and late in the 20th century, and changing goals of language instruction (Cha, 1991;Genovese, 2002). An important caveat to these findings that requires future research is evidence indicating that, despite increased instruction, mathematics reasoning skill enhancement among American students declines late in secondary school (Flynn, 2012).…”

“…T he increasing "isomorphism" or ritualized homogeneity of formal curricula at all levels of schooling-primary, secondary, and tertiary-has been well documented (Benavot et al 1991;Cha 1991;Frank and Gabler 2006;Frank, Schofer, and Torres 1994;Frank et al 2000;Kamens and Benavot 1991;Kamens, Meyer, and Benavot 1996;McEneaney 1998;Meyer, Kamens, and Benavot 1992;Rauner 1998;Wong 1991). Sociological institutionalists have posited that curricula in the United States and throughout the world are becoming progressively more standardized because of their shared foundations in world-cultural models of reality (Gabler and Frank 2005;McEneaney and Meyer 2000;Meyer, Boli, and Thomas 1987).…”

“…The subjects that came to be called history and geography used to be examined as part of English, but now were distinct; and a new subject called modern studies (essentially politics and sociology) was inaugurated in 1962. There was the same slow shift away form Latin and Greek to modern languages as was found in other countries (Cha, 1991), and a decline in the incidence of taking two languages (Gray et al , 1983, pp. 87–89).…”
