Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Ontario Institute for Studies in Education : On July 1, 1996, the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) and the Faculty of Education (FEUT) were integrated to form a new faculty within the university called the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (OISE/UT). The following is an historical view of each of the two integrated institutions, their previous relationship and the vision and mission of the new institution - OISE/UT. Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) OISE was established in 1965 by a special act of the Ontario legislature to provide graduate level programs, to conduct research and disseminate its findings, and to engage in field development activities in education. As a graduate school of education affiliated with the University of Toronto, OISE provided most of the master's-level and nearly all of the doctoral programs in education in the province. OISE had also been a major centre of educational research and development in Canada. OISE's exclusive focus on graduate studies, research, and development in education provided a unique setting for faculty, professional research staff, and students to address significant educational problems and issues.

When secondary education in Upper Canada was officially introduced in 1807, qualifications for teachers were ill-defined and professional training was non-existent. Nevertheless, a surprising number of 'educated gentlemen' found their way into the classrooms of the District Grammar Schools. Unfortunately, the supply of these superior pedagogues failed to keep pace with the growth of the population and the subsequent increase in schools. But in spite of the difficulties encountered, no serious attempt to provide teacher training was made for more than half a century. Beginning in 1858, several experiments involving model schools and training institutes were conducted with the aim of improving the academic and professional qualifications of teachers. None of these endeavours met with any widespread satisfaction, and in 1890 all such operations were supplanted by a provincial school of pedagogy in Toronto. Seven years later this institution was moved to Hamilton and renamed the Ontario Normal College. In 1906, the training of secondary school teachers was modified drastically when faculties of education were organized at the University of Toronto and at Queen's University. In Toronto, the Faculty offered professional secondary school courses in pedagogy. In order to improve the practical and experimental aspects of its program, the Faculty established, in 1910, the University of Toronto Schools (UTS) to serve as a practice school or a laboratory school. While UTS has consistently offered an excellent academic program, its involvement in the teacher education program of the Faculty of Education has varied greatly over the years.

On December 16, 1994, an Agreement was signed by the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, the Governing Council of the University of Toronto, and the Ministry of Education and Training. The terms of the Agreement outlined the broad terms for the integration of OISE and FEUT, including ICS and its Laboratory School and UTS, into a new professional faculty of education under the Governing Council of the University of Toronto, and addressed its mandate, mission, administration, governance and resources.
