Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Broader Elementary Education This book is written primarily for two classes of readers: (1) those who, having enjoyed the advantages of college or normal-school training, occupy positions which make it their duty to shape the educational policy of their community; (2) those who, as students, are preparing for such positions. With the needs of these classes in mind, it has seemed to the author desirable to set forth as explicitly as might be that in the very conception of education certain presuppositions are involved, and all the more desirable since opinions at variance with these presuppositions are widely prevalent. In the conviction, also, that there can be no fundamental study of education that does not seek to ascertain the end education should strive to reach, and the impulses and capacities it must appeal to, and that there can be no rational teaching that is not based on definite notions as to these matters, he has endeavored to present those notions as clearly as may be; and he has sought to base all his recommendations as to practice upon his conclusions.

Download or read book The Elementary School Curriculum Classic Reprint written by Frederick Gordon Bonser and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elementary School Curriculum This book is offered as a practical help to teachers, supervisors, principals, and superintendents in the improvement of the elementary school curriculum. The extended discussion of questions concerning the elimination of undesirable material and the introduction of much desirable new material has created a genuine need for a thoroughgoing, constructive revision of the curriculum. Such a revision requires the development of fundamental principles of selection, related vitally on the one hand to the aims and activities of life, and on the other to the nature and needs of children. The first eight chapters of this book are devoted to the development of such principles. The second part of the book makes application of these principles in offering a suggestive curriculum which may be adapted to the needs of elementary schools, wherever they may be. While the content of the curriculum is the chief concern of this discussion, there are necessarily some references to method. Method is inherently related to the purpose and content of all experiences. To that degree in which purpose and content vitally affect method and are in turn affected by it, method is considered. Because of its importance and the relative recency of its formal development, the project method receives more than passing attention.

This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Programme of Studies for the Elementary School: Grades I to Vi Learning to read in the modern way is as simple and natural as learning to talk. The teacher bases her procedure on the principle that as a child learns to talk by talking, so he learns to read by reading. This principle being accepted, teaching to read resolves itself into providing the pupil with plenty of suitably graded reading material, and standing by to help him in his use of it. The modern teacher begins by teaching the pupil to recognize in print, on the blackboard and card, eight or ten of the words used in the first few pages of the primer. She does this by associating the words with pictures; as, boy, girl, cat, dog, etc.; or with actions; as, run, play, jump. If the teacher prefer, She may begin by teaching the pupils to recognize a few Simple sentences as wholes. When the chil dren become familiar with these, they begin to distinguish the separate words of which they are composed, and quickly learn to recognize the more important and striking Single words wherever they see them. As soon as the pupil knows a few words, the teacher begins arranging them for him in simple sentences, and having him read, that is, look at the sentence and tell the story, or perform the action. After the pupil has done this, he should be allowed to read his sentence orally. To say the words aloud is not necessarily reading, however; to read means to get thought. In each lesson the teacher presents a little group of new sentences made from the old words and including one or two new Words. The new words Should be so chosen and so placed that the child may be able to guess the meaning Of the unknown word from the known context. The teacher trains him to do this; it is the first and fundamental device used by all readers young and old. Each day the pupil reviews the old words in new ar rangements; each day he adds one or two new words to his stock, learning to read by reading.

Download or read book The Story of American History for Elementary Schools Classic Reprint written by Albert F. Blaisdell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of American History for Elementary Schools Some sort of a first book on American history is now quite generally used in schools as a preparation for the more intelligent study of a larger and more formal text-book in the higher grammar grades. For beginners, a mere compilation of facts is dry and unsatisfactory. Such books have now given place, for the most part, to those prepared on a more attractive and judicious plan. The real aim in a first book should be to interest boys and girls in the history of their country, and to encourage them to cultivate a taste for further study and reading. This book is intended for use in the earlier grammar grades and to be preliminary to the study of a more advanced work in the higher grades. The author has also kept in mind the fact that the school life of many children is brief, and that all their instruction in Amer ican history must come from a text-book of this kind.

Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Curriculum of the Horace Mann Elementary School The curriculum of the Horace Mann Elementary School, as published in five numbers of the teachers college record in 1906 and 1907, has long since been out of date as well as out of print. In response to many requests, therefore, this revision of the course of study is published. The changes from the former curriculum, while they are numer ous, have been the result of a gradual growth during the past six years. The administration of the school leaves the principal and the teachers peculiarly free to modify their methods of teaching and the subject matter of instruction whenever it seems best to do so in View of the best interests of the pupils and in accordance with the best accepted educational practice. The specific changes that have been made are noted in the introductory statements under each subject. The Study of New York City, which is outlined in Chapter IV, is an organized attempt to prepare our pupils to take a more intelligent and enthusiastic interest in civic betterment. As they become better acquainted with local history and tradition and with our best artistic possessions, as they come to realize the great social problems growing out of the industrial life of their city and the organizations of good citizens that are working to solve such problems, we hope that they themselves will soon develop a high type of civic responsibility.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primary Education As I said before, a child's life is largely made up of action, and his birthright is free motor-activity. It is believed that games furnish a better field for the development of child-nature than any other exercise ever employed in a school course. By means of them the power to think quickly, to judge, to act, as well as to learn politeness and self-restraint, can be unconsciously acquired. That which spontaneously holds the child's attention will be the line of least resistance; therefore his play interests should be correlated with the school work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Child Nature: For Teachers and Parents This little book, like Jean Mitchell's School by the same author, seeks to aid in the introduction of the spirit and method of the New Education into our Common Schools Without any radical change in their organization. It has been said that modern education seeks to educate the children while the aim heretofore has been to teach them the elementary branches. Its purpose should be to do both of these things. This has always been the purpose of every good school. In recent years the meaning of school education has been enlarged. This larger meaning is to be realized by centering the at tention more upon the child than formerly. This little volume suggests a method of study ing children while teaching them, which will prove helpful to any teacher who feels the need of help. These glimpses of child nature are true to life and suggest methods of solution of the most difficult problems that arise in school man agement. The book will prove especially help ful to primary and intermediate teachers as well. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elementary School Subjects, Vol. 1: How to Teach the Fundamental Subjects Tms book discusses the teaching of the common fundamental subjects found in elementary schools. It also contains suggestions as to what should make up the course of study in these subjects, and it attempts to set forth some of the principles that should underlie methods of instruction and determine the selection of subject-matter. It is essentially a book for the use of teachers and supervisors of schools and for those who are preparing to be teachers. The subjects discussed consume by far the greater part of the time of both teachers and pupils in the elementary schools. To say that the teaching of these subjects should be as skillful as possible is a common place. Because of the difference in the quality of teaching, one class exercise in reading is of infinitely greater value than another class exercise. For the same reason, one school may be found to be inferior to another school, even in the same system. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
