Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Primary Geography on the Basis of the Object Method of Instruciton The preparation of the following pages involved a consideration of the learner's mental capacity, of the means of developing his understanding and reasoning power, and of the manner of using those means. The task was undertaken with a knowledge of its difficulties. It has been completed with a degree only of satisfaction. But I have endeavored to follow the teachings of nature and the dictates of philosophy by the light of experience. With lively perceptive faculties and active inquisitiveness, the young learner naturally commences to study by observing the simple things which attract his attention. He begins to study Geography by viewing the landscape, - its waters, its trees, its rocks, or its hills, the animals that enliven or the structures that adorn it. The interest excited and sustained proves that this kind of exercise is what the infant mind craves as pleasure and needs as nutriment. Natural objects, the most effective means of imparting knowledge, are peculiarly adapted for the illustration of Geography. They speak a various language. To the child they exhibit the beauties of color and form, their sizes and easily-seen operations. To others they speak of their complexity and of their manifold uses. They are indices of the conditions under which they exist, or of the phenomena which attended their creation. Truthful pictures are the nearest representatives of objects. They have been employed in this work to represent the configuration of the Earth's surface; to associate with each country its most important inhabitants; to exhibit the chief occupations of the people, and the more important products, of the United States; and to illustrate the adaptation of animals to their localities, and the climates of different regions of the globe. By their aid I commenced with the pupil himself, - surveyed his common surroundings, - rambled and journeyed with him from place to place, from State to State, from continent to continent, viewing noteworthy objects, speaking of their uses, mentioning leading facts about seas, lakes, rivers, mountains, animals, and plants, in language to interest and in a manner to incite. I have endeavored to lead gently, and to instruct carefully, - to unfold the subject as the pupil increased in power of comprehension.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Geography: On the Plan of Object Teaching The plan of this little work is such, that the subject is presented in the most simple form. It treats of general features, such as the locality and description of Continents, Countries, States, Rivers, Mountains, &c., without dwelling prematurely upon details which embarrass the learner in his first effort. The Maps are free from all meridians, parallels of latitude, and any superabundance of names; thereby giving a greater prominence to the general divisions of land and water. The plan of Object Teaching, by which the mind receives impressions through the medium of the eye, is here so combined with the Map Exercises, that a child just able to read is at once interested and instructed.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Class-Book of Geography, Containing a Complete Syllabus of Oral Instruction on the Method of Object Teaching: Also, Map Exercises, Systematically Arranged for Class Drill It begins where nature begins, with the child's little world of home. It leads the pupil, with open senses, out from himself and his School-room, to the surrounding village or city, the adjacent fields and woods, and, by a series of familiar object lessons on the elements of natural scenery there found, it seeks to develop those primary ideas essential to an intelligent study of maps and text-books, and to furnish the mind with those liv ing units of geographical knowledge, by means of which alone a just conception of other lands and climes can be realized. Proceeding from the pupil's observations of his own neighborhood - its hills and dales, its rills or river, its pond or lake, its vegetable and mineral productions, its trees and forests, its animals and people, its climate and seasons - it acquaints him first with his own village, city, or township, next with his county, and then with his State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Geography To all students of geography it is a lamentable fact that there is even yet a lack of respect for this branch of science. Though we have a new geography rich and vital in its possibilities to contribute to twentieth century education, yet all too many teachers are oblivious of the significance and value of the subject and, in the schoolroom, are rattling the dry bones of formal statement and definition. Their view of the subject, and their method of teaching it, restricts its value and curtails the interest which it ought to enlist from pupils. The object of this volume is, first of all, to present and instill in the minds of teachers the true nature of modern geography. Therefore Part I is devoted to the Nature and Scope of Geography. It is hoped that its careful study will result in establishing a correct and broad view of a subject whose content is rich in edu cative possibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geography for Children: Or a Short and Easy Method of Teaching and Learning Geography Children should have a Map of their own Na tion, and study that before any other. And in order to their more speedy improvement, the master should assist his pupil in finding out upon the map the particular place of which his lesson treats, and at a future time examine him as to his recollection of what he has leafned, in order to fix his atten tion, and that he may retain the facts. It is highly necessary that the different parts of each of these maps should be distinguished by different colours, or at least by points or lines. To render the scholar acquainted with the meaning of geographical terms, two Prints are given, which likewise serve to assist the teacher in explaining them to his p ils.

Download or read book An Easy Introduction to the Study of Geography written by Samuel Augustus Mitchell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Easy Introduction to the Study of Geography: Designed for the Instruction of Children The work is divided into eighty-three Lessons, seventy-six of which are devoted to the illustration of Geography, and seven relate to Astronomy. A few of the first Lessons are arranged partly in the method of Question and Answer; and in these, where the Pupils are required to find the answers, the latter are numbered, to agree with each series of questions respectively. In the first three-fourths of the book, the words of the answers are printed in Italic type; in the remainder, there is no such distinction, and the pupils are required to ascertain the requisite answers by their own discernment. It will thus be perceived that the plan of the Primary Geography is to lead the learner forward by easy and gradual steps, so as to prepare the youthful mind for an introduction into a more advanced study of this important science.

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.
