Excerpt from Methods of Teaching, Developed From a Functional Standpoint
The point of view from which the problems of teaching are discussed in this text is a functional one. It presupposes that all subject-matter has been created and preserved by the race to satisfy needs and solve problems, and that in the schools such parts of this subject-matter as satisfy the most fundamental needs are taught to pupils. But this is not done in indiscriminate order. Rather, in the main, any unit of subject-matter is best presented when the need for whose satisfaction it is preserved is potentially or actually present in the experience of the pupils. In accordance with this view the intrinsic function and the structure of units of subject-matter become of prime importance, involving a phase of methods of teaching to which relatively little attention has been paid in pedagogical literature. To complete a practical description of this conception as applied to teaching it has been found necessary to discuss the methods of arousing the appropriate needs and the conditions under which they are found present, and to investigate the methods pursued by experience both in satisfying these needs, to the aid of which subject-matter is invoked, and in securing the maximum degree of such satisfaction.
It is to be hoped that the point of view here developed will not be confused with the problem of school discipline concerning the authority of the teacher.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the problems and methods of teaching, proposing a functional approach that prioritizes the role of subject matter in satisfying needs and solving problems to develop control over values. It distinguishes between the social and individual aspects of educational aims, and argues that teaching should focus on helping students appreciate and gain control of the values they encounter in life. By viewing subject matter as a way of acting that originates from the need to control situations, the author emphasizes its role in reorganizing experience to gain such control. The book discusses the intrinsic and indirect functions of subject matter, highlighting its disciplinary, preparatory, and ornamental values. It also explores the different perspectives of the author, teacher, and student on the function of subject matter, emphasizing the need to consider the conscious aims and motivations of students in effective teaching. Ultimately, the book aims to provide a framework for understanding the significance and application of subject matter in fostering students' control over values and empowering them to navigate the challenges of life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
