• 🚀 The 'Golden 50s' from the mid-1950s to mid-1960s were characterized by technological advances and a boom in educational research, spurred by the launch of Sputnik and the subsequent push for scientific vocations.
• 📊 The Coleman Report from the 1960s significantly influenced American educational policy and research, highlighting the need for effective schools.
• 📈 The development of taxonomies by Benjamin Bloom, particularly the cognitive taxonomy, led to the creation of curriculum aligned with teaching objectives, following Tyler's rationale but also Bloom's taxonomic principles.
• 🌐 In Mexico, the 1950s saw the founding of the first national educational research center by Don Pablo Latapi, a prominent Mexican educator.
