An Institute Course in Psychology, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from An Institute Course in Psychology, Vol. 5

The demand justifies this second edition. One of our leading educators says, It is al together too elementary. That certainly justifies it. A college student tells me that when he wants to find what the two-volume work used by the class is trying to say he turns to this to find out. That justifies it. A teacher writes, It aroused within me bet ter purposes and ambitions. Surely that justifies it. You have certainly given the teachers of Kansas a concise, complete and most valuable exposition of the principles of psychology applied to the teacher's work,' writes an Institute Conductor. I have found it useful in my Institute work so feeling that the first edition has filled its purpose, I issue this one believing that it is not only adapted to teacher's Institutes, but to High School courses of study.

Excerpt from An Institute Course in Psychology, Vol. 5

In my Teachers' Institute last year, I presented the subject of psychology by lectures, and while the examination papers on Theory and Practice (which is largely psychology) at the following examination showed improvement, the work was unsatisfactory, because the class was without text books, and I knew of none so inexpensive as to be within the reach of all, nor so brief and concise in definition as to be adapted to the brevity of time and the plane of the average student. So I have undertaken to prepare this course for my teacher-pupils in '92, and for such other demand as its merits may create.

The work on psychology must be academic. It cannot be of the normal type; it is ab initio.

My method is deductive, dogmatic. In truth, the method of the teacher is deductoni: by that method, the fool's school of experience is avoided and one generation begins where the last quit, and having learned the known, corrects errors and carries on further investigation by induction. I have not space to discuss; I assume. This "course" is merely a jointed skeleton of the subject; to it the living teacher must add the muscle of application, and the student, the fat of illustration.
