Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Scientific Study of Education Most people think of school matters from the pupil's point of view. When they learned arithmetic and grammar, or later when they studied algebra and Latin, each course was presented to them as though it were a perfect system. The teacher did not confide in them that arithmetic probably ought to be revised by the omission of many of its topics, that formal grammar is a very doubtful subject, and that both algebra and Latin are on the point of losing their places as required subjects. The pupil sees the front of the school 'scenery; the machinery behind is known only to those who conduct the performance. It would be possible to multiply indefinitely examples which show that the pupil's view of the school is very limited. What pupil understands the duties of the princi pal or the superintendent, or of the still more remote and mysterious board of education? Where does the daily pro gram come from? Who decides about textbooks? Why are school buildings commonly planned with large study rooms? Most of these questions are never thought of by pupils. Everything in school life seems to have a kind of inevitableness which raises it above question or even consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Science For these reasons, without real blame being attributable to any one, the proper aim of the study of science in the high schools was defeated. Disturbers of the educational peace then pointed to the fact that approximately only five per cent of the high school pupils go to college. They questioned the dictum that the best education for the pupil preparing for college is the best education for the pupil going immediately into active life. It was pointed out that everybody who took science was being forced to study a great deal of pure theory that could not be connected with practical life without much subsequent study.

Download or read book Scientific Method in Education Classic Reprint written by Ella Flagg Young and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Method in Education The history of the social evolution of the race should be a history of what the race has done, rather than a compilation of its theories; hence the great problem in educational method today is to determine the conditions under which the race has worked in the past and which of those conditions, if reinstated, will develop in consciousness a feeling of upward movement. That conception of evolution as a vital force in education which leaves the child a barbarian at the mercy of the rude and vicious forces in modern civilization has no part in educational method which is scientific. The rudeness of manner, the self-assertion which characterize the Ameri can child are a result of his reaction to social stimuli in which social ethics are con fused, in which adults are themselves pausing in the early stages of the ethical life and its expression through a mistaken notion that they must pause with the child. When Froebel said, Let us live with the child, he did not mean the life and experi ence Of the adult should be overwhelmed by the child's life and experience. There must be thinking in the attitude Of the intelligent seeker after truth if there is to be a clear understanding of the problem of the future, and this problem can be faced intelligently only as one has command of the resources and forces which have been evolved out of the past, and knows their natural law. To learn these things one must use the method of science. If the teacher as student can gain an intimate acquaintance with nature and humanity through the attitude Of science only, then must the special problem, the development of the individual, be solved only by the use Of method called in its specific application educational method.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Outlines of Educational Psychology: An Introduction to the Science of Education The practice of education has had a similar his tory. We have had some great teachers in the past, but none of them has understood much of the real nature of what he was doing. If the great teachers themselves have known little of the nature of the material with which they dealt or the causes of their success, much less could their followers know. They could only imitate, with next to no knowledge of the principles which underlay their master's success. Systems of education have, for the most part, been based on some philosophical or religious conception. It is not correct to say that these systems have all been wrong; there has been, perhaps, some truth in all of them, just as there has been a grain Of truth in most systems of philosophy. For example, some of Plato's ideas on education as expressed in the Re public can now be scientifically justified.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science and Art of Education: An Introductory Lecture; And Principles of the Science of Education The following Lecture was delivered at the College of Preceptors, Queen Square, Bloomsbury, on the 20th of January 1874. The Chair was taken by the Rev. Dr. Abbott, Head-Master of the City of London School. In the course of his remarks at the close of the Lecture, besides expressing his general sympathy with the views I had brought forward, Dr. Abbott also expressed his opinion that there was a certain degree of novelty in the plan by which it was proposed that the Science of Education, with its correlative Art, should be studied by Teachers. I have therefore thought it worth while, by the publication of the Lecture, to give those who are interested in Education generally, and Teachers especially, an opportunity of forming their own judgment on the value of my theory; and in order to furnish them with some idea of the nature and scope of the "Training Course of Lectures and Lessons on the Science, Art, and History of Education," which I delivered last year, and am repeating at the present time, I subjoin the "Syllabus." "The object of the entire Course is to show that there are Principles of Education, on which, in order to be truly efficient, Practice must be founded; or, in other words, that there is a Science of Education, in reference to which the Art must be conducted, and the value of its processes tested. "In the First Division of the Course, the Science of Education will be built up on an investigation into the nature of the being to be educated, and into the phenomena which indicate and result in bodily, intellectual, and moral growth. This investigation involves an analysis of the organic life of the child, beginning with his earliest manifestations of Feeling, Will, and Intellect.

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.
Download or read book The Teaching of General Science Classic Reprint written by William Lewis Eikenberry and published by Forgotten Books. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education as a Science In the present work I have surveyed the Teaching Art, as far as possible, from a scientific point of view; which means, among other things, that the maxims of ordinary experience are tested and amended by bringing them under the best ascertained laws of the mind. I have devoted one long chapter to an account of the Intellect and the Emotions in their bearings on education. The remainder of the work is occupied with the several topics more specially connected with the subject. There are certain terms and phrases that play a leading part in the various discussions; and to each of these I have endeavoured at the outset to assign a precise meaning. They are - Memory, Judgment, Imagination, proceeding from the Known to the Unknown, Analysis and Synthesis, Object Lesson, Information and Training, doing One Thing Well. A separate consideration is also bestowed on Education Values, or an enquiry into the worth of the various subjects included in the usual routine of instruction; the largest amount of space being given to Science.

The earlier articles are didactic: in these I have sought to give reasons for the introduction of scientific method into all schools. The later articles are con structive: they contain the suggestions which, from time to time, I have ventured to make for the improve ment of the methods of teaching elementary physical science.
