Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Science in the Secondary Schools of Ontario State schools prepare for citizenship. Citizenship is concerned with future social activity. State education in correspondence with social activity is partly general, partly special. Elementary science is an essential feature of general education; it is in accord with the native interests of the child; it provides a training for the activities of ordinary life; it gives the pupil a knowledge of his physical environment; it enables him wisely to choose a vocation. "Education is not a mere development, it is training, and training implies an end clearly conceived by the trainer." In every formal system of education some tendencies in the child's nature are carefully fostered, others are either greatly modified or entirely arrested. While the school cultivates the child's disposition to perform his various tasks neatly and to work at each industriously, it also checks his inclinations to do some things in a slovenly manner or to neglect his work along certain lines. Not only are evil tendencies arrested, but many good ones must be restrained. A man becomes a surgeon chiefly because at the same time he does not become a lawyer, merchant, farmer or mechanic. If development were the end of education, distinction among tendencies could not be made. The good and bad would be alike cultivated, and specialisation would be impossible. But in formal education this distinction is made, development is controlled. Development, then, can only be a means to an end, not the end itself. The real, ultimate end of formal education must be that which determines what tendencies in the child's nature are to be developed, and to what extent their development shall proceed. This determinant of development is not constant, but varies with the nature of the school. The schools with which this thesis deals are maintained and controlled by the state; their function and product must thus be social in character. Since secondary schools cannot engage in research work, the only line of social activity open to them is the production of good citizens.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of General Science Never before in this country has there been so insistent a demand for a more thorough and more comprehensive system of instruction in practical science. Forced by recent events to compare our education with that of other nations, we have suddenly become aware of our negligence in this matter. Now industrial and educational experts and commissions are united in demanding a change. While on the whole there has been a steady increase in the amount of time given to science work in the secondary and elementary schools, the attention paid to it, especially in the elementary schools, has been some what spasmodic, and its administration has been more or less chaotic. This is not due to lack of interest on the part of school officials but to their dissatisfaction with the methods of instruction employed. There is no doubt that superintendents would gladly introduce more science if they felt sure that the educational results would be commensurate with the time expended. This is indicated by a recent survey of about one hundred and fifty cities in seven states of the Central West. The survey shows that two-thirds of them have nature study in the elementary schools and that all are re quiring some science for graduation from the high school. The average high school is offering three years of science. Since 1900 there has been a greater increase in the percentage of students enrolled in science in the high schools than in any other subject with the one exception of English. Moreover, greater attention is now being paid to the training of teachers in methods of presentation of science. X The chief needs in science instruction today are a more efficient organization of the course of study with a View to its socialization and practical application, and a clear-cut realization on the part of the teacher of the aims, the principles of organization, and the methods of instruction; it is to meet these needs that this series is being issued. The books attempt to present such generalizations of science as the average pupil should carry away from his school experience and to organize them for the preparation of the teacher and for presenta tion to the class. The volumes will therefore be of three kinds: (1) source books with accompanying field and laboratory guides for the use of students in normal schools and schools of education, and of teachers, (2) pupils' texts and notebooks, and (3) books on the teaching of the various science subjects. In the first the material will be organized with special reference to the training of the teacher and the most effective methods of presenting the subject to students. In the second the matter will be simplified, graded, and arranged in such a way that the books will serve as guides in science work for the pupils themselves. Moreover, they will furnish texts for the grades and high school that will simplify the teacher's task of presentation and will assure well-tried and well-organized experiences, on the part of the pupil, with natural objects. This series of texts for elementary and secondary schools will have dependent continuity and the subject-matter will gradually increase in difficulty to accord with the increasing capacity of the pupils. It will furnish a unified course in science. The third type of book is for the teacher and deals with the history, aims, principles of organization, and methods of instruction in the several sciences.

Download or read book Common Things and Elementary Science in the Form of Object Lessons Classic Reprint written by Joseph Hassell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Things and Elementary Science in the Form of Object Lessons The object of the author in publishing this volume is to supply teachers with a manual of matter and method on Common Things and the Elements of Science, thus providing materials for courses of lessons on Elementary Science as a class subject. Three points have been kept in view in pre paring the lessons; first, the production of full and accurate information; second, the arrangement of the matter in its teaching order; and third, the indication of the method by which the ideas are to be worked out. In many cases the particular experiments to be performed, the questions to be put, and the diagrams to be used are given. It has, of course, been necessary to make a selection of subjects in each section of the book, preference, therefore, has been given to those which are likely to come under a child's notice in his daily life, the study of which will help to cultivate careful observation and intelligent inquiry; habits which will tend to make the individual exact in his statements, correct in his judgments, and useful in his future avocations. The subjects chosen embrace all those mentioned in the Code. All the lessons have been worked out from original sources; those on manufactures and minerals, from notes made while visiting factories and mines. The statistics have been taken from the latest official returns. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Object Lessons in Elementary Science, Vol. 2: Following the Scheme Issued by the London School Board Some years ago the London School Board issued a Scheme of Object Teaching in Elementary Science. This Scheme was at once adopted by the compiler of these Lessons for use in his own school. He started by writing complete Notes of the Lessons, based on the Scheme, for each section of the school; and has exercised much care and thought in getting together a museum of suitable Objects for illustrating the teaching. The result has been a marked success - the teachers as well as the children deriving pleasure and benefit, and looking forward to the lessons as a welcome break in the monotony of the school routine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Science The object in such a course of study as in all other courses of study should be to teach the pupil to live, regard less of whether he withdraws from school at an early date or whether he continues his education through the high school and college. We should always be teaching a pupil what he needs and what he can use and a general science course well taught fulfils this ideal admirably.

Download or read book Teachers as Researchers Classic Edition written by Joe Kincheloe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers as Researchers urges teachers - as both producers and consumers of knowledge - to engage in the debate about educational research by undertaking meaningful research themselves. Teachers are being encouraged to carry out research in order to improve their effectiveness in the classroom, but this book suggests that they also reflect on and challenge the reductionist and technicist methods that promote a 'top down' system of education. It argues that only by engaging in complex, critical research will teachers rediscover their professional status, empower their practice in the classroom and improve the quality of education for their pupils. Now re-released to introduce this classic guide for teachers, the new edition of Teachers as Researchers now also includes an introductory chapter by Shirley R. Steinberg that sets the book within the context of both the subject and the historical perspective. In addition, she also provides information on some key writing that extends the bibliography of this influential book thereby bringing the material fully up to date with current research. Postgraduate students of education and experienced teachers will find much to inspire and encourage them in this definitive book.

Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
