Sinopsis

This book explores instructional methods and the educational value of various subjects, bridging philosophy and practice in teaching. The author takes a broad view of education, contending that social efficiency is its ultimate purpose, and emphasizing that mental training must extend beyond 'rote' learning. The book sees mental training as an outcome of organized knowledge, and emphasizes that a teacher's ideal should be to foster a love of learning in children that extends beyond just achieving good grades. While the book discusses utility and ethical values in education, it also advocates for a conventional approach, recognizing the importance of covering certain subjects because of their place in our culture. Furthermore, the author acknowledges the value of health, happiness, morality and preparation in education. The author further delves into child psychology, discussing attention, representative consciousness and kinds of imagery. The book will appeal to both student teachers and experienced educators, offering a comprehensive and thought-provoking look at educational methods and their implementation.

Excerpt from Instruction in the Grades, Values and Methods: A Textbook for Normal Students and Young Teachers

I shall not attempt to acknowledge my indebted ness to other writers on education. In fact, I could not, if I would. The ideas herein expressed are, now at least, so absolutely my own, that even though I may be only their foster father, I cannot distinguish them from my own Offspring. This much I can safely say, that no view set forth in this book is written simply because it conforms to somebody 's theory. Neither has newness, as such, been a part of my aim. I have merely attempted to collect, in an orderly fashion, such parts of my educational experience and reflection as I thought would be helpful to teachers and normal school students. I trust that, if the reviewer is moved to exclaim with Lessing, This book con tains much that is good and much that is new, he will not supplement it with the caustic comment that the good is not new and the new is not good.

Excerpt from Instruction in the Grades, Values and Methods: A Textbook for Normal Students and Young Teachers

This little book is the outgrowth of a series of lectures delivered to groups of teachers - candidates for Supervising Principals' certificates at the annual examinations in Philadelphia - and is published in response to their urgent request.

Throughout the book the reader will find that value as determining aim is regarded as inseparable from a philosophic treatment of method. The constant necessity of considering values and aims, which I have never tired of proclaiming, has made this work rather different from the ordinary treatise on method. It is, however, the recognition of this point of view which has lifted, or will lift, teaching from a trade to a profession. Every live teacher must, if only occasionally, catch a glimpse of the blue sky of educational ideals through the narrow, barred windows of tradition. Although I have carried out the relationship of aim and method in considerable detail, and have applied it to most of the curricular subjects, I cannot but feel that such repetition is justified by the vital importance of this view-point.
