Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Education Method and Other Papers on Education The publication, in a collected form, of the papers included in this volume may not be without value at the present critical juncture of educational affairs when so many serious attempts are being made to bring our school system into harmony with the times and'to improve the methods of teaching. 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. Whilst the former may be of interest to the general reader, the latter will appeal more to the specialist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Training of Teachers and Methods of Instruction: Selected Papers The first occupant of a Chair new to the Universities of Great Britain is placed in a somewhat peculiar position. It may be fairly expected of him not merely to correlate the new subject with the other studies of a University, but to vindicate for it a right to the promotion which it has obtained, to explain its bearing on the educational interests of the country at large, and to satisfy the sceptical as to its direct utility. Were I, however, to undertake to maintain a thesis so large, I should weary even the well-disposed listener, and probably fail, after all, to convince or convert the unfriendly. A broad treatment of the subject would involve me in a range of argument, fact, and illustration, so wide and varied, that I think it better to assume very much on the general question.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Education Method and Other Papers on Education In reprinting these essays, I have done little more than make a few verbal corrections, besides adding a prefatory essay and two articles, Nos. 25 and 26. It is an agreeable surprise to me that a new edition is called for. I-trust that this issue may not be without influence on the spread of scientific teaching in schools. I must confess to feeling much disappointment that our cause has not made more progress of late years - indeed that it has suffered repression rather than encouragement. It is unfortunate that more has not been done to impress on teachers the importance of developing the right attitude of mind in their pupils, that inspectors will insist on so much being learnt and show so little appreciation of the value of method. If boys and girls left school properly aware what an experiment is, what is involved in making one, how very far from easy it is to make a real experiment; if they acquired a true sense of exactness in work and in argument: the teaching given in schools would be of great value in after-life, as life is one big never-ending experiment. I see no reason why there should be school laboratories if the main purpose of these be. not to give training in the art of inquiry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Project Method of Teaching This book is devoted mainly to a critical discussion of the project method of teaching. The term project has only recently made its appearance in educational terminology, but the idea back of the project is not new. It is quite probable that skillful teachers have always used the essential features of the project method. A survey of modern teaching methods in engineering, law, medicine, agriculture, as well as in the prescribed subjects of the school curriculum, shows that much effort is being expended to bridge the chasm between school tasks and activities outside the school. In other words, the project idea, as defined by the author, is attempted to some extent in all these fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods in Education Usage puts a preface in every text-book and so you find one here. But the measure of value is in the body of the'text, not in the preface. The gateway is not a true criterion of the fruits in the field. The books on school methods can be easily classified. Some rest upon the abstract theories of psychology, exalting rigid formality; some present mere outlines in logical forms, leaving the student to find and adapt the subject-matter; others elabo rate particular methods suited to the respective subjects of instruction. All these are good, but still the young student wavers beneath the uncertainty of knowing exactly what to do. Hence, this book is prepared to satisfy the actual needs of teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Education of Teachers It may help the reader to interpret the doctrines embodied in the following essays if he has before him a brief synopsis of the writers opinions on the education of teachers. Every man who has patiently studied the problems of education has formed for himself, little by little, an educational creed, or confession of faith; and it is well on such an occasion as the writing of a book to throw into articulate form the articles of ones faith or belief as they relate to the field of thought traversed by writer and reader. Teaching is a spiritual art and classifies with music, poetry and oratory, rather than with the mechanic arts, the arts that deal with matter and its fixed and uniform relations. As teaching has to do with spirit, methods of teaching should not be fixed and invariable, but flexible and fluid, adapted to the modes and phases of variable spirit. In all intelligent and effective teaching, principles, rather than rules, should be held at a premium. Versatile teaching will draw its methods from prolific principles and will reflect the personality of the teacher who uses them. When methods become uniform, teaching becomes mechanical and wooden. Teachers should be educated rather than trained, education pointing to versatility and freedom, training to uniformity and mechanism. A teachers education should be of the liberal type.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Teacher: Essays on Educatioal Aims and Methods The limits of space precluded Art, Music, and one or two other subjects with a claim to appear in the list of contents. English has two Essays devoted to it, as a sign of its capital importance, not yet always recog nized in the curricula of English schools. Citizenship is a new subject in our school time-tables; but in America, under the name of Civics, it has already an established place. The training of character eludes the binet-simon or any similar test, yet no volume on teaching can be con sidered complete that does not deal with it. It is given in different types of schools in different ways; but the underlying principles that are here presented are of general application. Happy the school where they inspire traditions and ideals, or poems like Clifton Chapel, potent to mould the adolescent life!

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods of Teaching: Their Basis and Statement Developed From a Functional Standpoint, Revised and Enlarged The point of view from which the problems of teaching are discussed in this text is a functional one. It presupposes that all subject-matter has been created and preserved by the race to satisfy needs and solve problems, and that in the schools such parts of this subject-matter as satisfy the most fundamental needs are taught to pupils. But this is not done in indiscriminate order. Rather, in the main, any unit of subject-matter is best presented when the need for whose satisfaction it is preserved is potentially or actually present in the experience of the pupils. In accordance with this view the intrinsic function and the structure of units of subject-matter become of prime importance, involving a phase of methods of teaching, to which relatively little attention has been paid in pedagogical literature. To complete a practical description of this conception as applied to teaching it has been found necessary to discuss the methods of arousing the appropriate needs and the conditions under which they are found present, and to investigate the methods pursued by experience both in satisfying these needs, to the aid of which subject-matter is invoked, and in securing the maximum degree of such satisfaction. It is hoped that the point of view here developed will not be confused with the problem of school discipline concerning the authority of the teacher. In answer to the question, Are pupils expected to study subject-matter if they do not feel the need for it? only an affirmative answer can; be given, and such answer should be given emphatically. The points to be remembered are these: Authority is the buttress of the school; but other motives than that of mere obedience to authority may and should be used. When other motives fail recourse should be had to obedience, to the study of subject-matter merely because it is prescribed by the school authorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Education This book is the outgrowth of twelve years of class room instruction, supplemented by other work in the train ing of teachers. It is an attempt to present with logical cogency a simple and definite system of principles for guiding educational thought and practice. Elaboration useless for this practical purpose has been avoided. Attention should be called especially to two character istics of this discussion of the principles of education. (1) Man is here regarded as a person who seeks to attain purposes through means of control and also as a psycho physical organism in a process of adjustment to environ ment through stimuli and responses; but these two points of View, the confusion of which has led to much erratic thinking in the field of education, have been kept distinct. (2) The importance in the educative process of the appreciation of values is here emphasized as much as is the importance of the knowledge of facts, by which appreciated values may be attained. In this connection, the essential nature and function of history and of liter ature and the other fine arts are explained, and the methods in accordance with which this subject matter should be taught are definitely presented.
