Sinopsis

""Introduction to Vocational Education"" is a book written by David Spence Hill and originally published in 1920. The book provides a comprehensive overview of vocational education, with a focus on the aspects of education below the college level. The author begins by defining vocational education and its importance in contemporary society. He then explores the history of vocational education, tracing its roots back to the industrial revolution and the emergence of apprenticeships. The book goes on to discuss the principles of vocational education, including the importance of practical training and the integration of academic and technical instruction. Hill argues that vocational education should be designed to meet the needs of both the individual student and the broader society. Throughout the book, Hill provides numerous examples of successful vocational education programs and offers practical advice for educators and policymakers interested in implementing vocational education initiatives. Overall, ""Introduction to Vocational Education"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the history, principles, and practical applications of vocational education in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

One may safely predict that vocational training in some form will occupy a larger place in American education in the future than it has occupied in the past; but among teachers as well as laymen there is a lack of agreement regarding the scope, character, and value of vocational education. One reads articles on this subject in general and professional magazines and listens to addresses at educational meetings, and he is confused by the different claims which are made and the varying points of view which are presented. Some declare that we should train boys and girls speci6caly for definite occupations which they will enter the moment they leave school, while others oppose this view and hold that our training should concern only the general sciences or principles or skills upon which all occupations depend. Some advocate that vocational and general education should be rigidly distinguished the one from the other, while many persons protest that such a separation would undermine American democratic institutions. A gain, one frequently hears devotees of vocational education say that a pupil will receive better discipline of mind and character in working with tools and shaping materials to definite purposes than he will in studying the so-called cultural subjects such as history, literature, foreign language, mathematics, and the like. But this proposition is vehemently denied by one group of teachers and educational theorists in particular, who maintain that vocational education is commercial and materialistic, that it restricts the pupils vision, and that it fails to give him an understanding of human nature or interest in or sympathy with his fellows.
