Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts and Theories of Life and Education We cannot comprehend what awakens the purest and profoundest emotions. They who feel God's presence inquire not into the nature Of His being, as a child reposing on a mother's breast asks not how or why she is fair. It is not always necessary, says Goethe, that truth take definite shape; it may be enough that it hover about us like a Spirit and produce har mony. God is before all, within all, above all, - eternal, immanent, transcendent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104-Book in the Principles of Education In the following pages I have endeavored to present in a systematic way the outlines of a theory of education from the point of view of evolution. The evolutionary conception has been applied to educational theory more or less consistently by all writers on the subject since the time of Froebel. The development of more and more scientific knowledge in regard to the history of life, of mind, and of society has, however, made possible constant reconstruction of the general principles, in terms of which the process of evolution through education is to be conceived. I have tried to draw into a unified scheme what seem to me the essential features of current thought on this subject to-day. To accomplish this result in anything like an adequate manner, and at the same time make those practical applications of principles which a book on the "Principles of Education" may be expected to offer, it has been necessary to give to certain fundamental conceptions a very condensed and, I fear, somewhat abstract treatment. Such is especially the case in the chapter on "Conscious Learning," which, had space been clearly available, I should gladly have expanded by the addition of more illustration. In the chapter on "Readjustment, its Meaning, Conditions, and Methods," I have given the essential features of my theory of evolution. To the schoolman interested primarily in practice this may seem like a somewhat formidable introduction to so practical a subject as the Principles of Education should be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in Theory and Practice Books on the subject of Education abound. And because of the relative as well as actual value of the subject whose principles they attempt to expound it is necessary that they abound. It is only by having access to the various view points as advanced by the various authors in their texts that anything like a full understanding of the subject is to be gained. Again students of the subject of education come from every walk of life and prepare themselves for the work in varying degrees. While the author is not ready to assert that the field of education has more unprepared or partially prepared workers in it than other vocations, he knows it to be a fact that it has its full as well as relatively large quota of unprepared or partially prepared workers. For this reason books that would do the most good must be in thought, language, scope and manner of treatment so simple as to be easily within the reachwof the less mature and more uniniti ated of the group. Because of the slight acquaintance of these young students and workers with the nature and scope of the problems of this their basic science, in a treatise of this kind which is intended to be primary in the sense of in troductory, it has been deemed both unnecessary and unwise to give many specific citations and quotations. Especially is this plan desirable since the text does not attempt to be argumentative or analytical but particularly descriptive and explanatory. It is the aim and hope of the author that this little effort to open the field of Education to the beginning and young student will be helpful to him in his struggle to solve the simpler problems of education. In particular does he desire that both the principles discussed and the state ments made shall prove to be enlightening in themselves, and which is to him more important that they shall serve to in spire him and create within him a desire for a more advanced.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Education Classic Reprint written by Boyd H. Bode and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fundamentals of Education The purpose of this volume is to interpret present day educational problems from the standpoint of pragmatic philosophy. The discussion is centered chiefly on two main topics; viz., the aims or ideals which should be dominant in education, and the nature of the mind or intelligence with which education has to deal. The book is written in the conviction that educational theory and practice have been vitiated by preconceptions which were historically inevitable but which are unjustifiable in the light of modern knowl edge. These preconceptions must be eliminated if education is to make its proper contribution towards the enrichment of life and towards making the world safe for democracy. The development during recent years of scientific method in the field of education has brought with it a comparative neglect of the more fundamental issues. For the time being this shift of emphasis towards scientific investigation was prob ably desirable. Its effect has been to place educational research on a permanent basis. But unless the study of detailed problems is properly correlated with theory, there is serious danger that education will simply be come more complicated, and perhaps more mechanical.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Life: Or Universalizing the Individual The first Of these propositions is too self-evident to require demonstration. For, although we may at certain moments ask ourselves, Is life worth living yet reflection shows that the thought involves a contradiction. Our very conception Of value implies, Does this or this possess value in relation to life P Even the suicide but asks, Is this state or another the better for me P This assumption may be further established from a con sideration Of the facts involved in the doctrine Of evolution. Evolution, whatever may have been its errors, has indisputably established the fact that life is to be viewed as a process. As, in this process, the chemical transcends the physical, so the spiritual must transcend the biological. Life is more than meat.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Education The history of Education is a part, and a very important part, of the history of civilization, but civilization is so general and, withal, so important a term that it may be well to make at the outset some inquiry as to just what it means. The term civilization implies, among other things, the attainment of a certain degree of mastery over the forces of nature. The so-called civilized man obtains heat and light and food and shelter in ways which, outwardly at least, differ greatly from the ways employed by the savage. He speaks a more highly developed language, and uses the written and the printed word as an aid to speech. Moreover, at the basis of his practical use of these arts and conveniences is an immense amount of theory as to the forces of nature involved, and as to the meaning and value of life itself. To this theory, as organized into systems and verified by experience, we give the names science and philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Education Such a theory of education, which need not be careful to call itself a system of psychology, must be in harmony with the thought movements of the age; must regard education, not as a shut-off compartment, but as being as much a part of life as birth or growth, marriage or work; and it must leave the pupil attached to the world at many points of contact. It is true that educationalists are already eager to establish such contact in several directions, but their efforts rest upon an axiom here and an idea there, and there is no broad unifying basis of thought to support the whole.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies: Introductory to a Theory of Education For I cannot force myself to suppose that Education any more than Religion is a Special subject; it is a national concern. Some men may render their best service to their generation and their country by devising curricula for schools, by fashioning and revising schemes of teaching or research for Universities, as others may render theirs in providing, wholesale or retail, the food and drink of the people. Who shall deny the importance of what they do? But the food and the drink must be consumed to be of use, and eating and drinking are acts from which the mind revolts except in society; they are at once the emblems and the conditions of what we call a corporate, because it is a spiritual, life. The specialist who will not admit this offers poison to his neighbours and starves himself. If specialism is not the guise, the livery, in which a man accepts and proclaims his place in the co-ordinated services of a community, he should hide it like some deformity, trusting the charity of the world to ignore the terrible affliction of which he cannot win forgetfulness himself.

Download or read book Education and the Larger Life Classic Reprint written by C. Hanford Henderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and the Larger Life It is the purpose of the present volume to make a large inquiry, - the inquiry as to how education can be so applied in America as to best further the progress of civilization. The term civilization may be used to mean either the sum total of what man is doing in the way of material and intellectual achievement, or else the force underlying this achievement, the inner soul of it. Education has a similar double meaning. It is the outward, visible result of an inner experience, or it is the movement of the inner experience itself. No complete view of life may lose sight of either meaning. They stand, indeed, in the relation of effect and cause. It is important, however, upon which meaning we place the emphasis. The outer aspect of civilization is history, the inner aspect is philosophy. The outer aspect of education is knowledge, the inner aspect is development. In a practical inquiry like the present, it is more helpful to deal with causes than with effects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teacher's Encyclopaedia of the Theory, Method, Practice, History and Development of Education at Home and Abroad, Vol. 1 of 7 The word Encyclopaedia has become associated in our minds with a special form of publication in which the subjects are arranged in alphabetical order, and in which something like an exhaustive treatment is expected. Such a meaning, however, need not necessarily be attached to the word, as after all it merely signifies the completion of the circle in the treatment of a subject and therefore in this publication we have ventured to depart from the already familiar form and thus to avoid repetition of educa tional encyclopaedias that already exist in Germany and France. The aim has rather been to select for handling such subjects as are of vital interest to the modern teacher, and in each case to ask a leading expert to write upon the particular subject. In this way we have tried to bring together, for the help and instruction of all those who are interested in education, the leading thought of the day on all the most vital problems in the life and training of the child. In order, therefore, to make our object clear, and to show the main lines of development which we have followed, the subjects have been arranged in groups instead of in alphabetical order. The child, for instance, may be regarded merely as an animal, and from this point of view all that bears upon its physical health becomes of primary importance. The opening door to this department of applied science is the physiology of the child, as distinct from the physiology of the aduAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
