This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Curriculum of the Horace Mann Elementary School The curriculum of the Horace Mann Elementary School, as published in five numbers of the teachers college record in 1906 and 1907, has long since been out of date as well as out of print. In response to many requests, therefore, this revision of the course of study is published. The changes from the former curriculum, while they are numer ous, have been the result of a gradual growth during the past six years. The administration of the school leaves the principal and the teachers peculiarly free to modify their methods of teaching and the subject matter of instruction whenever it seems best to do so in View of the best interests of the pupils and in accordance with the best accepted educational practice. The specific changes that have been made are noted in the introductory statements under each subject. The Study of New York City, which is outlined in Chapter IV, is an organized attempt to prepare our pupils to take a more intelligent and enthusiastic interest in civic betterment. As they become better acquainted with local history and tradition and with our best artistic possessions, as they come to realize the great social problems growing out of the industrial life of their city and the organizations of good citizens that are working to solve such problems, we hope that they themselves will soon develop a high type of civic responsibility.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Science in the Elementary School The part that science plays in modern life is so vital that science teaching must inevitably have an important place in the school curriculum. There has been some confusion regarding the term to be used to cover the work in science in the elementary school Nature-study' has been the word in most common usage. But there is considerable misunderstanding as to what is included under this term. In recent years it has been used in an ever-broadening sense till now the word is used by many educators to include all phases of science adapted to the elementary school. But among people in general the common notion still prevails that nature-study includes only the study of Wild plants and animals. So that, considering all sides of the matter, it has seemed better to the author to adopt the word science instead of nature-study, as tending to involve less mis understanding and as helping to establish an appropriate and standard term.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organization of Instruction Materials: With Special Relation to the Elementary School Curriculum For a number of years the writer has been engaged in training teachers for elementary and secondary schools. During this time he has had excellent opportunities to observe the struggle of beginning teachers in their attempts to interpret courses of study. He has frequently had occasion to listen to expressions of discouragement from teachers of experience, both trained and untrained, who were attempting to follow courses of study that failed to give a clear statement of the subject matter to be taught and the method of teaching it. Often he has found such teachers to have recourse to courses of study of other systems in spite of the fact that the fundamental plan of such courses might not be in harmony with that of the system to which it was being adapted. The present study is an attempt to show how such courses of study may be made of greater service to teachers in their task of making instruction materials meaningful, of bringing about organization of knowledge on part of children. The assumptions in the discussion of this problem are as follows, (1) The course of study of a school system is a plan of action for the teachers of the system; it must therefore indicate clearly what is to be taught and how such materials are to be made real experiences on part of children. (2) The object of teaching must be the organization of experiences by children with a view of making them available for further use and, for this reason, helps given teachers on "how to teach" must concern themselves largely with the problem of how children's experiences are to become organized. I am greatly indebted to Professor Frank M. McMurry for helpful suggestions and criticisms in making the study; to the works of Professors Dewey and I. E. Miller for a statement of the psychology of thinking; to Dr. William H. Kilpatrick for suggesting the final arrangement of chapters; to the critic teachers of the William McGuffey School of Miami University for supplying some of the illustrations of children's organizations of the third chapter and for trying out the concrete plans of the fifth chapter. The bibliography indicates those books most frequently used in connection with the various phases of the discussion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of the Elementary School It is clearly impossible for an essayist to make form al acknowledgment of all the sources of his inspira tion. The student of education keeps his mind open to the influence of every honest word whether spoken by the thinkers of old or by the seers of to-day, and he keeps his heart open to the influence of the living child, to whom all educational systems owe their ex istence. And who shall say which speaks the more effectively, Plato and Emerson and Mark Hopkins, or the tow-headed boy in the fourth seat in the third row and the patient teacher who is leading him, helpfully and hopefully, according to her lights?

This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Programme of Studies for the Elementary School: Grades I to Vi Learning to read in the modern way is as simple and natural as learning to talk. The teacher bases her procedure on the principle that as a child learns to talk by talking, so he learns to read by reading. This principle being accepted, teaching to read resolves itself into providing the pupil with plenty of suitably graded reading material, and standing by to help him in his use of it. The modern teacher begins by teaching the pupil to recognize in print, on the blackboard and card, eight or ten of the words used in the first few pages of the primer. She does this by associating the words with pictures; as, boy, girl, cat, dog, etc.; or with actions; as, run, play, jump. If the teacher prefer, She may begin by teaching the pupils to recognize a few Simple sentences as wholes. When the chil dren become familiar with these, they begin to distinguish the separate words of which they are composed, and quickly learn to recognize the more important and striking Single words wherever they see them. As soon as the pupil knows a few words, the teacher begins arranging them for him in simple sentences, and having him read, that is, look at the sentence and tell the story, or perform the action. After the pupil has done this, he should be allowed to read his sentence orally. To say the words aloud is not necessarily reading, however; to read means to get thought. In each lesson the teacher presents a little group of new sentences made from the old words and including one or two new Words. The new words Should be so chosen and so placed that the child may be able to guess the meaning Of the unknown word from the known context. The teacher trains him to do this; it is the first and fundamental device used by all readers young and old. Each day the pupil reviews the old words in new ar rangements; each day he adds one or two new words to his stock, learning to read by reading.

Download or read book The Curriculum Classic Reprint written by Franklin Bobbitt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Curriculum Since the opening of the twentieth century, the evolution of our social order has been proceeding with great and ever-accelerating rapidity. Simple conditions have been growing complex. Small institutions have been growing large. Increased specialization has been multiplying human interdependencies and the consequent need of coordinating effort. Democracy is increasing within the Nation; and growing throughout the world. All classes are aspiring to a full human opportunity. Never before have civilization and humanization advanced so swiftly. As the world presses eagerly forward toward the accomplishment of new things, education also must advance no less swiftly. It must provide the intelligence and the aspirations necessary for the advance; and for stability and consistency in holding the gains. Education must take a pace set, not by itself, but by social progress. The present program of public education was mainly formulated during the simpler conditions of the nineteenth century. In details it has been improved. In fundamentals it is not greatly different. A program never designed for the present day has been inherited. Any inherited system, good for its time, when held to after its day, hampers social progress. It is not enough that the system, fundamentally unchanged in plan and purpose, be improved in details. In education this has been done in conspicuous degree. Our schools to-day are better than ever before. Teachers are better trained. Supervision is more adequate. Buildings and equipment are enormously improved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
