Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Conscious Program for the Normal Schools and Teachers Colleges of America, Vol. 3 To the teacher-training schools Of America are entrusted the duties and responsibilities of leadership - the era of followership for us is past. Such progress as is to come to public education in the future is to come from the teachers who, though they may not know their subjects better will certainly know the social bearings of their subjects better, and will certainly know the nature Of the learning process better. If this is to be so, it will be because the institutions that prepare teachers have become better able to focus them selves upon the characteristic problems of teacher-training. And this in turn implies that a better method of determining what are the pressing tasks of normal schools has been adopted. After a long period of largely unconscious experimentation we are reaching the vantage from which our progress - our advance in efficiency of service - can become conscious. To have leadership we must have a conscious program. When we have this we can dispense with the ornaments of rhetoric and will take the pains to work out the implications of the blanket phrases in which we have long cast our philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles and Methods of Teaching: A Manual for Normal Schools, Reading Circles, and the Teachers of Elementary, Intermediate, and Higher Schools The art of teaching should have its foundations in science; for then and only then will teaching cease to be mechanical obedience to "authority." Such obedience was the curse of the "old" education. "Tradition" and "prescription" determined the methods not only in oriental systems of education, but also in the later civilizations of Europe. The principle of authority has not wholly disappeared from modern schoolrooms. Rational methods of teaching, indeed, are the exception rather than the rule in the great mass of American teachers. The individual teacher must have part in the construction of the science in which his art is to have its foundations. Otherwise the "new" education will simply substitute one tyrant for another. In other words, obedience to principles of philosophy, though it be the best philosophy, is only slavery as long as the teacher who submits to such laws cannot justify these in his own consciousness. The great mass of teachers is not equal to the task of constructing the complex science of education independently. This task implies not only analytic knowledge of human nature in its manifold relations, but also the power of synthetic thought. The great body of teachers, therefore, need supervision in constructing their system of educational principles. It is hoped that the plan of the present treatise may supply at least a portion of the needed supervision.

Download or read book Observation and Practice Teaching in College and University Departments of Education Classic Reprint written by Frederic Ernest Farrington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observation and Practice Teaching in College and University Departments of Education The colleges and universities have offended, too, in assum ing that they can do the work of the normal schools. True their education departments might be so organized that they could discharge this responsibility, but constituted as they are at present, the emphasis is largely on the side of teaching subjects rather than on teaching children. The normal school that requires a four-year high school course for entrance and is thus free to devote itself largely to the professional side of the elementary school subject-matter has the advantage of the college and university departments of education, as they are constituted at present, in the preparation of teachers for the lower schools. If the elementary schools generally were organ ized on the departmental plan, some of the disadvantage might be obviated, but at present it is manifestly impossible for the university to give that attention to all the subjects of the ele mentary school curriculum that is so essential for teachers eu tering upon that particular field. Our best normal schools spend a relatively small amount of time in taking up new sub jects of study per se, but they devote themselves primarily to reviewing the elementary branches through the media of those more advanced. It is not so much a more extensive study of the lower subjects that is needed as a more intensive study of those same subjects with a view to teaching them. To the extent that the institutions of higher learning fail to do this - it is by no means to their discredit; they have another function in the intellectual world - to that very extent do they fall behind the normal school in the preparation of elementary teachers. Be cause all our normal schools are not ideal either in their condi tions for entrance or in the character of their work, does not justify the universities in attempting to assume part of these burdens. Each institution has abundant work in its own par ticular field. Let us rather work together to build up the standard of these lower professional schools until they attain the highest type of efficiency of which they are capable.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Measurement of Teaching Efficiency Efficiency in any work deals with details and particulars which are so numerous that standards and measures must be explicit and definite. To state that efficiency is the process by which to secure the maximum of result with the minimum of work and ma terial is to stir up further inquiries as to what a good result is and how it may be attained. General directions and principles are here of little use for quiet effective ao tion, and for products economically brought forth. On this account, any practical scheme for measuring the efficiency of teaching must be extremely detailed and specific.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standards Employd in the Determination of Teaching Efficiency It is reasonably certain that a teacher of character and of fine teaching ability will win the respect and usually the admira tion of his pupils and patrons. It is quite as reasonably certain that a relativly inferior teacher may and not infrequently does win the esteem and harty support of the entire community in which he teaches. This esteemmay result from local political activity, church connections, participation in club activities, or it may be in response to a wholesome attitude of the teacher towards the life of the community, all of which may be excellent sup plementary qualities for a teacher to possess. Certainly they should not be the main consideration in the selection of a teacher. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Normal Methods of Teaching: Containing a Brief Statement of the Principles and Methods of the Science and Art of Teaching, for the Use of Normal Classes and Private Students Preparing Themselves for Teachers Teaching is a Science and an Art. It embraces a system of truths that admit of scientific statement and may be woven together with the thread of philosophic principles. As such it may be taught like other sciences and arts, and may thus be presented in a book to be studied. The present volume is the result of an earnest attempt to give a scientific statement to the subject in a form that can be used in the training of teachers. Object. - The work is designed as a d104-Book on Teaching. It is a work to be studied and mastered by those who are preparing themselves to teach in our public schools. Several good books on the subject have been written from the standpoint of the profession for professional readers; this work is written from the standpoint of the class-room, for those who are being trained for the profession. Its-design is not so much to adorn the literature of the profession as to aid in building up the profession. The aim has been to prepare a work suitable for the use of the classes in our Normal Schools, - a work that can be studied and recited like a text-book on grammar or arithmetic. Origin. - The work grew up in the class-room. The matter was originally prepared for my own "teaching classes," and has been used by them for many years. Primarily, it was given orally to the classes, the pupils being required to write down only the leading definitions and principles and an outline of the discussions. Recently it became necessary to divide these classes and place them in charge of assistant teachers. For the use of these assistants the notes were expanded into a little treatise which the pupils were required to copy and recite. So inconvenient was this, and so much valuable time was lost, that I resolved to comply with the request of teachers and pupils and put the matter in a form for publication. Importance. - The need of such a text-book cannot be questioned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Education The present work is the outgrowth of actual class-room experience in teaching the subject for two years in the State Normal School at Milwaukee and eight years in the State Uni versity of Iowa. Previous to this experience, many of the ideas here expressed had been gradually shaping themselves while the author was teaching and supervising in public schools. All of the material has been carefully tested in junior and senior university classes, and much of it in advanced normal school classes. Portions of several chapters have been given many times in teachers' institutes and associations. The distinct aim, however, has been to produce a text-book of college grade for beginners in the study of educational science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education for the Needs of Life: A d104book in the Principles of Education, for Use in Elementary Classes in Normal Schools and Colleges and in Institutes and Reading Circles The preparation of this book is the direct outgrowth of the generous appreciation given to the writer's "Psychology of Thinking." The dominant point of view of that book is here applied more widely to the interpretation of education. Although treating of principles and fundamental ideas rather than of details, nevertheless the attempt has been made to express the thought simply enough to make the book useful as a text in elementary courses in Normal Schools and Colleges and as the basis of discussion for groups of students who are working together in reading circles and teachers institutes. Education is conceived as an integral phase of the life process. Everything that lives has needs to be met. In so far as any living being actually modifies its own behavior in the light of experience, learning occurs. Conscious, or intentional, education gives guidance and direction to the natural learning processes. It does not substitute something else for the principles, laws, and methods of nature; it works in harmony with them and facilitates nature in the attainment of her goal in the lives of individuals. The outcome is that the needs of life are met better, more fully, and at higher levels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
