The Study of Children and Their School Training (Classic Reprint) by Francis Warner Pdf

Excerpt from The Study of Children and Their School Training This work is addressed chiefly to teachers, parents, and others in daily contact with children; but contains information that is likely to interest those engaged in directing education, philanthropy, and other forms of social work as well as those concerned with mental science. The book has been written in the hope of aiding an advance in the care of children, and in the practice of educational methods, by promoting a more exact study and classification of the children to be cared for and trained; while giving an account of some conditions of childhood in its many varieties as seen from the standpoint of the observer who records what he sees as in other branches of physical science. For the purposes of observation, a clear account of the points to look at, what to look for, and what may be seen, normal or subnormal, forms the alphabet of our subject. Child study has of late years been actively carried on in America and in other countries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Training School Quarterly, Vol. 7 by Mamie E. Jenkins Pdf

Excerpt from The Training School Quarterly, Vol. 7: July, August, September, 1920 Books on child study are apt to stress the instinctive basis of a child's nature. This is as it should be. We must know of the influences that go to make mind, family, race, sex, maturity. But we must not forget that these factors come into contact with another, environment. Heredity determines the ability to assimilate knowledge, environment furnishes the material of which the particular bits of knowledge which a child possesses is made. We need then a study of the contents of children's minds, and while the investigations which' have been made along that line are valuable and suggestive, they cannot take the place of a real first-hand study of the child's environment. I am rather of the opinion that we should make time if, instead of starting to cram knowledge into the child as soon as he starts to school, we should spend much time exploring the recesses of his mind to find out what he already has stored away in it. That would save us from teaching what, as Dodd says, he always knowed, as well as from teaching something which the child is utterly unable to grasp because of a lack of experiences, or which he grasps incorrectly because of faulty bases of knowledge. For some time we have been giving lip service to the doctrine that the teacher should teach children that subject-matter is a means to an end. I believe that it is largely lip service only because in the training of teachers we still place the great emphasis of time, effort and teachers on subject-matter with very little time given to, the study of the child. I believe it, further, because teachers in schools spend much time teaching subject - matter and little time studying their children. Teachers must always keep in mind that it is the child that is important; the child gives us our work to do. When we have our schools constructed upona scientific basis I believe that we shall be able to know children as well as it is possible to know subject-matter, and when that is true we shall be able to accomplish many fold what we are now accomplishing. So much of our teaching is now a hit or miss aflair. So much of our subject really doesn't make any difference anyway. We're getting better, but we've a long way to go.

School Training of Defective Children (Classic Reprint) by Henry Herbert Goddard Pdf

Excerpt from School Training of Defective Children Whether the problems to be solved in the recognition and appropriate treatment of mentally defective children are medical, educational, or custodial, or all three combined, is a question worthy of serious consideration. It has hitherto been quite generally assumed that mentally defective children should be and could be cared for satisfactorily by the public school system. In many school systems they are now provided for in special classes; in many others such children are still found in the regular classes for normal children. Hence, for the present at least, the problems involved in the care and training of mental defectives are practically public school problems and must be dealt with from the public school point of view. Unfortunately there is a notion widely prevalent within and without the teaching profession that special attention - sometimes a little of it, sometimes a good deal - bestowed by the regular teachers, will solve the problem and will make these mentally defective children normal. How completely erroneous this notion is Dr. Goddard makes plain in the present volume. Even when mentally defective children are segregated in separate classes - as in the interest of the normal children as well as in their own interest they should be - the notion just referred to is often responsible for the regime to which they are subjected; namely, the regime, usually with some modifications, to be sure, appropriate to normal pupils.

Educating the Child at Home by Ella Frances Lynch Pdf

Excerpt from Educating the Child at Home: Personal Training the Work Habit By writing this book in plain English it is hoped to reach two results: Firstly. To open the preserves of pedagogy and child-psychology to those who, though naturally most intensely interested in the subject, arc deterred therefrom by the forbidding phraseology wherein it has hitherto been discussed and presented. Secondly. To help mothers to resume and do their sacred duty by their children instead of shirking it and delegating it to the school. All that I have written is based upon actual practical experience and study. Like the long search for the Promised Land is the search for an efficient school, while the great opportunity of home instruction and education is ignored. Where shall I find the best school for my children? Teach them yourself the things you know and can do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Child's Mind, Its Growth and Training by W. E. Urwick Pdf

Excerpt from The Child's Mind, Its Growth and Training: Being a Short Study of Some Processes of Learning and Teaching The reasons for writing this book are sufficiently set forth in the introduction. It is not a treatise on psychology, still less a new and full-fledged theory of education. Nor, on the other hand, is it a com plete handbook for teachers. It is rather an attempt to set forth in simple and, as far as possible, untech nical language some results already obtained from a study of mind growth as an organic process, and to establish a clear and definite connexion between those processes of learning which mind possesses, and the methods by which it should be taught and trained. These chapters will, it is hoped, enable the young teacher to use in practice the facts which he learns in his outline study of physiology and psy chology, and provide the experienced teacher with a framework on to which he may fit the results of his experience without committing himself to any one philosophic system. Perhaps at a time when the problems of education are so widely discussed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Studies in Experimental Education The 129 children included in this school are, on the average, an inferior group when compared with the writers' norms obtained from consecutive measurements of children who have had continuous school-medical inspection, physical training and directed play. These tentative norms are given in Charts I to IV in order that comparisons may be made. The physical status of the Demonstration School children may be found on pages 22 - 26 of Miss Campbell's Report.

Child Training as an Exact Science by George W. Jacoby Pdf

Excerpt from Child Training as an Exact Science: A Treatise Based Upon the Principles of Modern Psychology, Normal and Abnormal A treatise on child training as an exact science, based upon the principles of modern psychology, medicine and hygiene, has seemed to me to be an urgent necessity, Pedagogy and medicine in them selves are distinctly separate fields of science. The former is concerned only with the mental and moral development, the latter only with the physical development of the child. The points of contact between the two become apparent only when it is realized that children with bodily abnormalities of development as a rule also show disorder in their mental development, and vice versa. If the intellectual weakness caused by goiter and adenoid vegetations is an evidence of the close connection existing between bodily conformation and mental activity, then it should not be difficult to under stand how similar indications could lead to still other deductions. Without exaggeration it might be claimed, likewise, that every organ of the body may have a relation to mental functions. In order.

School Management (Classic Reprint) by Ontario Dept Of Education Pdf

Excerpt from School Management For some years the education of children has been con sidered more and more from the standpoint of the child. This has resulted in a great change in our schools, and in no respect is this change more marked than in the government of classes. The old arbitrary form of school government has given place to one more democratic. As under the latter form of government in the state, each citizen must bear his share of responsibility, so the school must be managed in such a way as to train its pupils for efficient social service in a free state. This Manual aims to present school management from this point of view. The teacher who looks upon school management as a factor in the training of children for free citizenship will make a better use of the courses of study than the teacher who works according to the view that the child must be adapted to his studies, to the conditions in the school, and in some respects to the peculiarities of the teacher. The course of study will be regarded as a means rather than as an end; not as a prescription of work in a variety of subjects to be completed within a specified time, but as a means through which the child's efficiency, as a citizen of a free state, may be developed. In the efforts to give effect to such a view, both the organization and the man agement of the school will be greatly influenced. It is from this point of view that the topics presented in this book should be studied, and it is now offered to teachers in-training and to teachers in service, in the hope that it may aid them to become more efficient in the work of pre paring their pupils for useful citizenship.

The People's School by Ruth Mary Weeks Pdf

Excerpt from The People's School: A Study in Vocational Training It seems to be difficult for us to learn that human institutions may not be borrowed outright. The sight of some new form of efficiency in our neighbors over the sea stirs the conscious progressives at home to minute and wholesale imitation. This is particularly true where we feel second-rate, - in art, science, and education. In politics and industry, we are a trifle cock-sure of ourselves and copy scarcely at all; but elsewhere we tend to be over-impressed by foreign example. The history of conscious educational reform in America offers many illustrations of indiscriminate institution-matching, all the way from the kindergarten to the university. There have been large gains, of course; but we have paid an unnecessarily high price in maladjustments. If only we had noted the essential elements of foreign experience and moulded the institutional forms to suit our own population and national ideals, we could have made our institutions far more effective.

Science in Print by Rima D. Apple,Gregory J. Downey,Stephen L. Vaughn Pdf

Ever since the threads of seventeenth-century natural philosophy began to coalesce into an understanding of the natural world, printed artifacts such as laboratory notebooks, research journals, college textbooks, and popular paperbacks have been instrumental to the development of what we think of today as “science.” But just as the history of science involves more than recording discoveries, so too does the study of print culture extend beyond the mere cataloguing of books. In both disciplines, researchers attempt to comprehend how social structures of power, reputation, and meaning permeate both the written record and the intellectual scaffolding through which scientific debate takes place. Science in Print brings together scholars from the fields of print culture, environmental history, science and technology studies, medical history, and library and information studies. This ambitious volume paints a rich picture of those tools and techniques of printing, publishing, and reading that shaped the ideas and practices that grew into modern science, from the days of the Royal Society of London in the late 1600s to the beginning of the modern U.S. environmental movement in the early 1960s.
