Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature-Study Agriculture: A Textbook for Beginners The teaching of agriculture in grades below the high school has become well established in our schools, but opinions still difier as to the aims of the course and as to how the subject should be approached. The aim of an' elementary course in agriculture is well stated in a late report of the Iowa State Teachers' Association: to increase powers of appreciation, to promote general intelligence, to give a basis for the formation of educa tional ideals and the making of vocational choice, and to develop an appreciation of the possible applications of science to the useful arts. The most logical ap proach to the subject is through nature study, for the nature-study phase of agriculture, far more than the economic phases, deals with simple realities in the lives of boys and girls. Indeed, it is difficult if not impossible to dissociate the study of agriculture from the study of nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Nature Study and Elementary Agriculture: A Manual for the Use of Teachers and Normal Students Books about nature study have become numerous, perhaps more numerous than good teachers of it. These books deal with principles and methods and somewhat with material, so that the student or the teacher need be at no loss for suggestions. But the subject is so new and nature so extensive and the suggestions as to use of material often so general that the books seem to differ confusingly, and the honest seeker for help often becomes more mystified the more he reads. In fact, nature study is still in the period of suggestion, a period which may be trying to the experienced teacher, but which is a necessary antecedent to the period of experiment. The time has come for extensive experiment by trained teachers, putting to rigorous test the suggestions that seem hopeful. Teachers will always have the last word. It is not with the hope that this confusion of suggestions will be cleared up that these pages are written. Their purpose is simply to state the situation in such a way that the teacher may become more independent in his work and thought and thereby better able to eliminate confusion from his own particular problem. We shall never reach general agreement in this matter until many good teachers have conducted careful experiments and their results have been sifted. Even when this is done, teachers themselves are such variable factors that no hard-and-fast schemes of nature study can be or ought to be constructed, but rather an approved body of principles, the details of whose application must be left to the individual teacher.

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Elementary Agriculture The studies of the following pages constitute part of the laboratory course given with the subject of agriculture in the Fresno State Normal. They are designed to prepare teachers for presenting the subject of agriculture in the rural school. They are not predigested and ready for presentation to the child with teacher's story, introduction, description and conclusion complete, but are outlines to direct the student in pre paring the studies for presentation to the child. The work of the student is complete only when, through his own efforts, each study is ready, from the teacher's story to the conclusion, for presentation to school children. Through the preparation of these studies the student gets a broad knowledge of elementary agriculture, experience in pre paring subject matter and material for presenting agricultural studies and nature study lessons, and begins to find, understand, and appreciate the beauty of all things out of doors.

There are two important factors, heredity and environment. Heredity is an inheritance from Nature and is fixed. Whether man was specially created or has developed from the ape, by evolution we have risen to the present level. Man's habits, which he inherits. And all that he is are the result of the struggle for existence with his environment, which has been Nature.

Download or read book Nature Study and Agriculture Classic Reprint written by Charles C. Schmidt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Study and Agriculture The chapters are not all designed for use in the same grade. While most of the book is suited to young and old alike, such subjects as plant diseases, soils, and farm management are of interest only to the maturer pupils, and they are therefore treated somewhat more technically. It has long been the belief of the author that the beginning in the study of Agriculture should be made in Nature Study, in which is trained the power to see things in our physical environment as they actually are and to draw proper conclusions from them, and in which the learner acquires a good store of first-hand knowledge of plants and animals and other natural phenomena. In this book we make no attempt to draw an arbitrary dividing line between Nature Study and Agriculture. We shun the sentimental and essentially urban type of Nature Study that we have so often seen, and View Nature from the practical stand point oi those who live in actual contact with it. The aim has been to treat chiefly the topics whose study may yield knowledge of economic value. These may all be considered as belonging to a course in Agri culture. On the other hand, of the more technical subjects generally included in the comprehensive texts on general Agriculture designed for use in high schools, we present only those more essential ones usually prescribed in the modern courses of study for our common schools.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Agriculture Limitations of materials used in nature study, science, and agricul ture - Nature study sets itself no limitations as to the natural materials which it shall use, so long as they are in their natural relations. But little legs cannot carry students of the nature-study age very far from home, and materials sent from a distance have the defect of being out Of their natural setting. From these facts it results that nature study is environmental and its materials mainly agricultural with suburban or rural pupils.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Relative Values of Nature-Study and Specific Instruction in Agriculture With the recent tendency to make the nature - study work of the grades more narrowly economic and directly agricultural, the question arises as to whether in our tendency toward the utili tarian, we are giving the child the same Opportunities for develop ment which the broader field of nature-study offers. Is there here an equal opportunity for him to become more observing, as we believe he does become in the pursuit of the many problems in nature-study; will he be able to attack and work out problems as well after a series of strictly agricultural lessons as he would have been had these been more varied and general? It almost amounts to the quest are we justified in giving our work an industrial trend rather than considering it purely cultural?

Download or read book Beginnings in Agriculture Classic Reprint written by Albert Russell Mann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beginnings in Agriculture This book is designed for the purpose of introducing the study of \a.griculture into the seventh and eighth grades of our elementary schools. It may also meet a need in some of the smaller high schools and in ungraded Special and private schools. When the pupil comes to well-developed high-school work, he will need a more detailed and specific text. The book is founded on the suggestions in the Report of the Committee on Industrial Education in Schools for Rural Communi ties, Of the National Educational Association. That Committee recommended for the school years 6 to 8, four sets of subjects as follows: first half year, the affairs Of agriculture; second half year, the soil; second year, farming schemes and crops; third year, ani mals. A condensation Of this plan into a two-year scheme has been attempted in the present volume. It has been the aim Of the author to cover the work very largely in a nature-study Spirit, by which it is meant that the pupil Shall be brought into as close touch as possible with the actual farms, soils, crops, animals, and affairs. The problems are intended to set the pupils at work on their own account rather than to enable them to answer questions that may be suggested in the text. It is, of course, essential to practical school conditions that there shall be reading-matter and recitation-matter in the book. Perhaps Part I, dealing with the general agricultural situation, may be used as a series Of introductory reading and discussion exercises, the actual work with subject-matter to begin with Part II. The open book method of teaching, now used successfully in many schools for history and geography, might be employed advantageously with this text, especially in schools in which nature-study receives little attention. It is assumed that the teacher will see that the pupils work out the problems, Or as many of them as have useful application to the affairs of the particular community. It is to be hoped that there will be a school-garden on the premises, or that small areas may be set aside at the homes of the pupils, on which many of the sug gestions in the book may be worked out personally. It is specially to be desired that the parents be brought into the work, in order that the agricultural affairs of the community may be related to the school. Therefore, a large number of problems have been pre sented with this end in view, the expectation being that the pupil will ask the parents for the proper solution of the questions.
