Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Organization and the Individual Child Within the past few years we have been coming to measure education by a new standard, the standard of individual achievement. This means that we have begun to differentiate the abilities of children, and to estimate the success of school work, not in terms of a general standard, but in terms of what each individual is able to do within the range of his own ability. This new standard has made necessary a modification of school organization, and there now appear schools for gifted children, for ordinary children, for slow and backward children, and for mentally defective children, and within these groups there are various forms of procedure for meeting more efficiently the needs of the members of each group. The present volume undertakes the task of presenting in a somewhat detailed manner the various plans that have been evolved to make school organization fit the needs of the boys and girls both normal and abnormal that are enrolled as pupils in the public schools. The part of the book dealing with plans of classification and adaptation brings together information from many different sources, information that every school executive must have to make his work intelligently efficient. In interpreting such a large mass of material, doubtless, mistakes have been made; the writer hopes that they are not such as to interfere with the general usefulness of the book.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plans for Organizing School Surveys Education is no longer the simple process that it once was. From haphazard imitation a progressive step was made long ago toward con scious effort to teach in a systematic way. Ultimately this tendency crystallized among the favored classes into the practice of having a single individual teach a single child one subject at a time. From the demand that a single child be taught a single subject by a single indi vidual we have progressed to the point where children in large groups must be taught, not simmy a single subject, but the three R's, and not simply the three R's, but many additional subjects also. Modern edu cation, too, is no longer limited to the intellectual field, but extends into the physical and the moral as well. Besides all this, the present-day school system is called upon to educate, not simply the children of from six to fourteen years of age, as formerly, but kindergarten children, youths, and adults, also. Moreover, these kindergarten children, youths, and adults are to be trained, not simply that they may make a better living for themselves and that they may also serve in the mainte nance of the best that has been experienced thus far by the race, but, further, that they may make actual contributions to the knowledge that the race already possesses. Swith this increase in the scope of the things to be taught, in the variety of individuals to be taught, and in the pur poses behind the teaching, the element of complexity has developed to such an extent that thorough organization has become essential. Devices are needed to aid the mind in grasping the situation, and in focusing the attention of educators on individual parts of the school system while they at the same time carry in mind the idea of the whole.

The special classes for the blind, the deaf, cripples, epileptics, and stutterers and stammerers are all represented in different school systems of the United States. There are also, as we have seen, the special disciplinary or training classes for so-called incorrigible or unruly pupils, and there are the ungraded classes for foreign speaking pupils as well as such classes for normal pupils who are either behind in their work or who wish to hurry along in their studies in order to make a grade. Again, we have classes for specially gifted pupils and classes for boys and girls who have not been able to complete the sixth grade by the age of fourteen and who are assigned to classes where special emphasis is placed on manual and industrial work. All these classes are still in the plastic period of development. In some cities that have had such classes for a number of years, the several types of pupils are very poorly differentiated. The incorrigible, the mentally defective, the backward, the cripple, and the epileptic are often found in the same class. In a large city, of course, this is inexcusable. Such pupils do not belong together. It will be one of the main aims of this study to show the need of special classes for the mentally deficient pupils. By establishing and properly organizing such classes, much may be done to increase the efficiency of any school system which has 1,500 or more pupils. By allowing mentally defective pupils to attend the regular classes much injury is done them as well as their normal classmates. They are forced to attempt work which they cannot do, and their normal classmates are forced to wait while the teacher laboriously tries to teach the former something they cannot comprehend. One...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child Under Eight The Modern Educator's Library has been designed to give considered expositions Of the best theory and practice in English education of today. It is planned to cover the principal problems of educational theory in general, of curriculum and organisation, of some unexhausted aspects of the history of education, and of special branches Of applied education. The Editor and his colleagues have had in view the needs of young teachers and Of those training to be teachers, but since the school and the schoolmaster are not the sole factors in the educative process, it is hoped that educators in general (and which Of us is not in some sense or other an educator?) as well as the professional schoolmaster may find in the series some help in understanding precept and practice in education of to-day and to-morrow. For we have borne in mind not only what is but what ought to be. To exhibit the educator's work as a vocation requiring the best possible preparation is the spirit in which these volumes have been written. NO artificial uniformity has been sought or imposed, and while the Editor is responsible for the series in general, the responsibility for the opinions expressed in each volume rests solely with its author.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adjustment of School Organization to Various Population Groups Thus at the very beginning Of American life, stress was laid upon the conception of schools open to all on terms Oppressive to none. The religious theories of Puritanism were largely responsible for initiating this doctrine of educational Opportunity and need into American thought;l it remained for the political theories of the Revolutionary and post-revolutionary periods to vitalize and extend the conception of popular education. The expressions of the great national leaders of this era will indicate the views widely held in American society at the begin ning of the nineteenth century. George Washington always cherished a deep interest in the matter of education. He says: Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness. In one in which the meas ures of government receive their impressions so immediately from the sense Of the community as in ours, it is proportionally essential. Promote, then, as an Object Of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion Of knowledge. In propor tion as the structure of the government gives force to public Opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened. (c: 7 - 8) John Adams, the second president, speaking Of American schools, said: All the children of the inhabitants, the rich as well as the poor, have a right to go to these public schools. He again affirmed his belief when he said that The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people and must be willing to bear the expense of it. There should not be a district of one mile square without a school in it, not founded by a charitable individual, but maintained at the expense of the people themselves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monographs on Education in the United States: Educational Organization and Administration But while they began to be interested in education it was because they saw that schools would help the individual and so promote virtue and extend religion. It did not occur to them at the first that the safety of the new form of govern ment was associated with the diffusion of learning among all the people. This is not strange, for the suffrage was not universal at the beginning of independent government in America. Therefore, while the desirability of education was recognized, it was understood to be the function of parents to provide it for their children, or of guardians and masters to extend it to their wards and apprentices. When schools were first established they were partnership affairs between people who had children in their care, and for their con venience. They apportioned the expense among themselves such as had no children were without much concern about the matter.

It is easier to see the conditions in their separate; ness, to insist upon one at the expense of the other, to make antagonists of them, than to discover a reality to which each belongs. The easy thing is to seize upon something in the nature of the child, or upon something in the developed consciousness of the adult, and insist upon that as the key to the whole prob-a lem. When this happens a really serious prac tical problem - that of interaction - is trans formed into an unreal, and hence insoluble, theoretic problem. Instead of seeing the edu-a cative steadily and as a whole, we see conflict ing terms. We get the case of the child the curriculum; of the individual nature 275. Social culture.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... Ill WASTE IN EDUCATION The subject announced for today was "Waste in Education." I should like first to state briefly its relation to the two preceding lectures. The first dealt with the school in its social aspects, and the necessary re-adjustments that have to be made to render it effective in present social conditions. The second dealt with the school in relation to the growth of individual children. Now the third deals with the school as itself an institution, both in relation to society and to its own members -- the children. It deals with the question of organization, because all waste is the result of the lack of it, the motive lying behind organization being promotion of economy and efficiency. This question is not one of the waste of money or the waste of things. These matters count; but the primary waste is that of human life, the life of the children while they are at school, and afterward because of inadequate and perverted preparation. So, when we speak of organization, we are not to think simply of the externals; of that which goes by the name "school system "--the school board, the superintendent, and the building, the 77 engaging and promotion of teachers, etc. These things enter in, but the fundamental organization is that of the school itself as a community of individuals, in its relations to other forms of social life. All waste is due to isolation. Organization is nothing but getting things into connection with one another, so that they work easily, flexibly, and fully. Therefore in speaking of this question of waste in education, I desire to call your attention to the isolation of the various parts of the school system, to the lack of unity in the aims of education, to the lack of coherence in its studies and...

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.
