Science of Education (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Science of Education

Effort to place the particular nation or individual in possession of the net results of other nations' and other individuals' culture, to the end that each may be lifted from an exclusive or particular plane to a participation in the true world culture - made to partake of the great, the universal spirit. This is humanism as set over against a narrow specialism.

Excerpt from Science of Education

This volume, both in matter and method, has grown cut of many years' use of the discussions of these and similar topics in the Pedagogical Department of the University of Indiana, in the Michigan Normal College, before bodies of city teachers, and in Institutes generally. It will be obvious to the reader that it is not a treatise upon methods of teaching. It concerns itself chiefly with the educational process, and the materials for the derived science. The point of view is historical, and the purpose has been consistently maintained to find in the general evolution of function and faculty a consistent background for the current conditions and the presuppositions of the science. A brief but somewhat comprehensive bibliography of modern works is appended for the guidance of teachers in further reading. It would be impossible to give credit to all authors quoted, though the foot-notes or the text will generally indicate the source of most materials borrowed. And recent literature is rich in suggestion bearing upon the Science of Education. To all such I freely acknowledge my obligations, and here express my appreciation.
