Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the History of Education But England compares poorly in this respect with some of the neighbouring lands. Our school and college histories are numerous enough; but they too easily drop to the level of anecdote, personal or architectural, and too often remain silent on matters which would indicate advance, or the reverse, in educational theory or practice. In fact, much spade-work must be done before we can hope to possess a conspectus of what English schools have attempted or accomplished between the early medieval period and the present day. When that work is surveyed in the light of con temporary life, social, political, and economic, we shall be in a position to generalize about the English theory of education.

Download or read book Outlines of the History of Education Classic Reprint written by William B. Aspinwall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the History of Education This little volume of studies has been prepared as a guide to the study of the History of Education for students in col leges and normal schools, with the hope that from out of the maze of facts and events which surround and obscure the sub ject, they may by its aid gain a clearer understanding of the development of educational thought and practices. Most books that deal with this broadest of historical subjects do not marshal the facts contributing to progress in education so that a definite tendency or purpose or result can be discerned. As a matter of value and profit, it is not so important to the student to know the facts as it is to know the bearing of the facts upon the movement, to understand their dependence upon what has gone before as well as upon the actual conditions surrounding them and to see their influence upon the develop ment of the movement. We all know that any type of edu cational practice is but the outward expression of the thoughts and ideals and purposes which guide one generation in the rearing of the next, while these thoughts, ideals, and purposes are, in their turn, born of the national life and civilization in which they have matured. Now, it is always a di cult thing for the student to pick out the essential and contributing facts and to discover their meaning, and usually, working by himself, he either fails to get very much true significance from them or else he gets it at very great expense of thought and efi'ort.

This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the History of Physical Education The shore of physical education is strewn with the wrecks of systems and movements, many of them good in themselves, but left to drift when the personal support and enthusiasm of the founder was removed from the helm. It has only been when some great national crisis had to be faced and the minds of patriots and scholars were engaged in the effort to meet it, that systems have been evolved great enough to survive the death of their founder, the test of time and change in their national conditions. This is notably true of the gymnastics of Denmark, Sweden and Germany. Incomplete as systems Of physical education without the addition of games, but logical and accurate in their application to the con ditions they have had to meet, whenever similar conditions have arisen it is to them we have turned for inspiration and instruction, and nowhere was this better shown than in the great war of 1914, where crude masses of untrained and underdeveloped men had to be made quick and accurate in response to command and given that control of their bodies that is the true function of physical education in its highest sense. TO the sincere student of physical education nothing has a more sobering effect than the study of those advances made by the great men who have given their lives to their cause. He finds that most of the theories that come to him as new and startling have been thought before and have been either rejected or put into practice as well or better than he is likely to do, and so if he is a philosopher, he can avoid the inevitable failure of schemes that have been dis carded and adapt from material of proved worth the material that suits his special conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the History of Education Writers on the history of education have taken at least three very different standpoints from which to view the nature, scope, and purpose of their subject. Some have seen its chief purpose in the edification of schoolmasters and schoolmistresses, and have regarded the study as one of exclusively professional interest. The main concern of others is the evolution of educational theory; for some of this second group the range of their survey is as wide as human culture itself, with small reference to time or place. A third group, probably the smallest of the three in number, understands by the term "history of education" the history of certain concrete institutions (in the main, schools and universities) which have been charged with specific duties at particular times in particular places. These last writers are more concerned about whatever has been done with an educational purpose than about what individual thinkers believed should have been done.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Education While I may be wrong in the general hypothesis, I feel thati am right in the following particulars There must be some teachers who are more than mere instruments. More than operatives, more than artisans; there must be some who can see processes as they are related to law, - who, while obedient to law, can throw their own personality into their methods and can make such adaptations of them as varying circumstances may demand. If most teach ers are doomed to be the slaves of routine, there must be some who have the ability to create and to control. In a word, along with the great multitude of mere teachers, there must be a growing body of educators. I cannot but think that in every normal school there are men and women who would love to walk upon these heights, to breathe this freer air, and who would thus see in teaching a fair field for the exercise of their best gifts. The attention of such should be drawn somewhat away from the merely mechanical aspects of teaching, and fixed on those professional studies that will broaden the Iteacher's vision and give him the consciousness of some degree of creative power. The studies I mean are educational science and educational his tory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's History of Education There is a growing conviction among those engaged in training teachers that the History of Education must justify itself. It is believed that, if this subject is to con tribute to the professional equipment of the teacher, its material must be selected with reference to his specific needs. Antiquarian interests and encyclopaedic complete ness are alluring and may in their place prove praise Worthy and valuable, but they do not in themselves supply any definite demand in the training of teachers. The greatest services that the History of Education can perform for the teacher are to impel him to analyze his problems more completely and to throw light upon the school practices with which he is himself concerned. By presenting a series of clear-cut views of past conditions, often in marked contrast to his own, it should make him conscious that the present educational situation has to a large degree been traditionally received, and it should at the same time especially help him to understand the origin and significance of current practices. In this way a study of the History of Education will disrupt the teacher's complacent acceptance of the pres ent, and will enable him to reconstruct his ideas in the light of the peculiar conditions out of which the educa tion of his times has sprung. Whenever historical records do not assist in such an analysis and synthesis of present day problems, they may be frankly dismissed from dis cassion. This conception of the subject, I have myself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's Textbook in the History of Education From the standpoint of history, education is the means by which nations have attempted to realize their social and spiritual ideals. Every nation that has faith in its ideals wishes to have them transmitted for the benefit of its own posterity, and its system of education is the instrument by which it tries to do this. Because these ideals have been different in the several nations their sys tems of education have differed. And because the ideals of the same nation undergo change its system of educa tion will change. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Based upon years of classroom teaching of the material in college, normal school, and extension courses for teachers, it is designed to meet the needs of many groups. Because they have been found helpful to students in the classroom, the following features have been incorporated: 1. Chronological graphs to aid in fixing a time perspective for the big movements. This device has been used as a substitute for the interspersing of dates throughout the text. 2. Lists of questions at the close of each chapter or topic. These have been given to facilitate self-testing. An inclusive list of such questions has also been appended at the end of each part of the book. 3. Parallel column arrangement in some places to bring into prominence significant contrasts and comparisons. 4. A chronological drill at the end of Part I for a rapid identification of names and outstanding events. 5. A false-true test at the end of Part II to afford exercise in testing educational statements in the light of the facts presented in the body of the Outline. An acknowledgment is due to hundreds of former students whose reactions to various methods of organizing the subject have evolved the plan here used.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Syllabus of the History of Education The present volume is the outgrowth of several years' experience in the use of the syllabus method in teaching the history of education. The syllabi were originally prepared in a somewhat elaborate form for use in graduate classes at Yale University. The teaching method used in the course at. Yale combined extensive library reading with lectures. Subsequently the syllabi were revised and to some degree abridged for my classes in the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers, where they have been of service in directing and organizing the students' reading. They are now published in the belief that they will fill a wider field of usefulness in normal school and college classes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of Education: A History of the Practice and Progress and Organization of Education The present volume is an abridgment and condensation of my History of Education, issued in 1920, and has been prepared to meet the needs of normal schools and colleges which desire to teach the general history of education, but which do not have the time or the inclination to go into the subject in such detail as IS glven in the larger volume above referred to. The general plan of the two books is the same. Like the larger History of Education, the present volume is a history of the practice and progress and organization of educa tion itself, rather than a history of educational theory, and pre sents the history of education as a phase of the history of the rise and development and spread of our Western civilization. As in the larger volume, ' I have 'tried here to present such a picture of the rise, struggle for existence, growth, and recent great expan sion of the idea of the improvability of the race and the elevation and emancipation of the individual through education as would be most illuminating and useful to students of the subject. To this end I have traced the great forward steps in the emancipation of the intellect of man, and the efforts to perpetuate the progress made through the organization of educational institutions to pass on to others what had been attained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Methods and Observation in History: Studies in High School Observation The outlines herewith presented have grown out of the necessities of a course conducted by the writer in the training of teachers in the University of Michigan. The course has been styled Methods and High School Observations in History. It has been open only to seniors and graduate students who have specialized in history and who expect to teach that subject in high schools. The work has consisted of one class meeting per week for eighteen weeks, and of twenty hour-observations of history teaching in the AnnArbor High School. The outlines, therefore, were designed to serve as a guide to these observations and as a basis for subsequent discussions. In order that the students might have a deeper appreciation of the meaning of history and the various conceptions that have been held regarding it, and in order that they might possess at least a general knowledge of the place history has occupied in the schools, the elements composing historical events, and the values attributed to historical study, it seemed appropriate to preface the special queries respecting method by some introductory suggestions of a general character. This fact explains the inclusion of such material as is foimd in the first few pages of the present booklet. In the hope, therefore, that students of Education in other colleges, universities, and normal schools may find suggestions in the material here brought together, and that teachers in active school work may also receive some practical help therefrom, the writer has been encouraged to place the outlines at the disposal of the public. If they shall prove of service to his colleagues and their students elsewhere, his aim and purpose will be fully met.
