Sinopsis

Excerpt from Human Behavior: A First Book in Psychology for Teachers

The materials have been organized somewhat upon the spiral plan. The first chapter embodies a con crete case of human behavior, described in non-technical language, and illustrating the various factors that con dition behavior and control conduct both in customary and in unusual situations. Thus an initial bird's eye view of the treatment is given at the outset. The remaining chapters of Part I are also general in their nature, treating upon a simpler and more primi tive plane the topics that are later analyzed more minutely. This plan of organization obviously involves a certain amount of repetition; but the repetition, it is believed, will serve a useful purpose in impressing upon the student the fundamental fact that the higher and more complicated forms of behavior have grown out of the simpler forms, and involve these simpler forms as indispensable elements.

Excerpt from Human Behavior: A First Book in Psychology for Teachers

The study of psychology has for a long time been looked upon as an essential phase of the professional preparation of the teacher. The following chapters represent an attempt to formulate psychological principles in terms of conduct or behavior. The authors believe that this "functional" point of view in psychology offers a helpful perspective upon the problems of classroom teaching, explaining many of the phenomena with which every teacher must deal, and which, unexplained, tend to irritate and confuse; and providing at least a few guiding principles that may be directly applied to the solution of troublesome problems in instruction and management.

It is hoped that the book may prove useful to the large numbers of young men and young women who each year enter the service of the public schools. It has, indeed, been written with a distinct recognition of the immaturity and inexperience which these beginning teachers represent.
