The Teaching of General Science (Classic Reprint) by William Lewis Eikenberry Pdf

Excerpt from The Teaching of General Science Never before in this country has there been so insistent a demand for a more thorough and more comprehensive system of instruction in practical science. Forced by recent events to compare our education with that of other nations, we have suddenly become aware of our negligence in this matter. Now industrial and educational experts and commissions are united in demanding a change. While on the whole there has been a steady increase in the amount of time given to science work in the secondary and elementary schools, the attention paid to it, especially in the elementary schools, has been some what spasmodic, and its administration has been more or less chaotic. This is not due to lack of interest on the part of school officials but to their dissatisfaction with the methods of instruction employed. There is no doubt that superintendents would gladly introduce more science if they felt sure that the educational results would be commensurate with the time expended. This is indicated by a recent survey of about one hundred and fifty cities in seven states of the Central West. The survey shows that two-thirds of them have nature study in the elementary schools and that all are re quiring some science for graduation from the high school. The average high school is offering three years of science. Since 1900 there has been a greater increase in the percentage of students enrolled in science in the high schools than in any other subject with the one exception of English. Moreover, greater attention is now being paid to the training of teachers in methods of presentation of science. X The chief needs in science instruction today are a more efficient organization of the course of study with a View to its socialization and practical application, and a clear-cut realization on the part of the teacher of the aims, the principles of organization, and the methods of instruction; it is to meet these needs that this series is being issued. The books attempt to present such generalizations of science as the average pupil should carry away from his school experience and to organize them for the preparation of the teacher and for presenta tion to the class. The volumes will therefore be of three kinds: (1) source books with accompanying field and laboratory guides for the use of students in normal schools and schools of education, and of teachers, (2) pupils' texts and notebooks, and (3) books on the teaching of the various science subjects. In the first the material will be organized with special reference to the training of the teacher and the most effective methods of presenting the subject to students. In the second the matter will be simplified, graded, and arranged in such a way that the books will serve as guides in science work for the pupils themselves. Moreover, they will furnish texts for the grades and high school that will simplify the teacher's task of presentation and will assure well-tried and well-organized experiences, on the part of the pupil, with natural objects. This series of texts for elementary and secondary schools will have dependent continuity and the subject-matter will gradually increase in difficulty to accord with the increasing capacity of the pupils. It will furnish a unified course in science. The third type of book is for the teacher and deals with the history, aims, principles of organization, and methods of instruction in the several sciences.

General Science (Classic Reprint) by Charles H. Lake Pdf

Excerpt from General Science The object in such a course of study as in all other courses of study should be to teach the pupil to live, regard less of whether he withdraws from school at an early date or whether he continues his education through the high school and college. We should always be teaching a pupil what he needs and what he can use and a general science course well taught fulfils this ideal admirably.

A Textbook in the Principles of Science Teaching (Classic Reprint) by George Ransom Twiss Pdf

Excerpt from A Textbook in the Principles of Science Teaching There are several ways in which the book may be used in the instruction of prospective science teachers. First, it may be used as a text for a broad general course in the fundamental principles of science teaching, intended for all those who are preparing for the teaching of any of the special sciences. In this case the chapters of general interest should receive the most study and attention; and those de voted to the special sciences, Chapters XII to XXIII, should be touched more lightly, being used for the most part as bases for special reports to the class by those most interested in the particular sciences of which these chapters treat. Second, the book may be used as a text in a special course on the teaching of any one of the sciences. In this case the greater part of the book would be passed over rapidly to de ve10p the general attitude and point of view; and the chapters on Biology or on Geography, Physics, Chemistry, or General Science would be studied intensively and supplemented by copious readings and reports based on references chosen from the book lists appended to the chapters so studied.

Elements of General Science (Classic Reprint) by Otis William Caldwell Pdf

Excerpt from Elements of General Science Earth's Crust there is an added tepic, The Earth in Rela tion to other Astronomical Bodies. Considerable new mate rial on nutrition and proper care of the human body is added. Particular attention has been given to relations which the studies bear to household problems as well as to those of the community and of the industries. At the beginning of each chapter a list of Questions for Discussion is given. It is expected that when beginning the work of each chapter the pupils and teacher will read and discuss the questions briefly. These questions recall pupils' previous experiences and set up new problems whose brief consideration gives significant purpose to the text and experimental work which follows. After the chapter has been studied, the questions provide the best means of review. About fifty additional illustrations are included.

Introduction to General Science by Percy Elliott Rowell Pdf

Excerpt from Introduction to General Science: With Experiments However much we may theorize, and try to impress the youth with the proper conception of man's place in nature, the individual young person will continue to consider himself as the center of the universe. Immediate needs and close surroundings are what interest him. It is not until he has learned about these, and has followed back to their sources and causes some of the phenomena which have seemed simple and matter of fact, that he begins to realize that the distant forces have more effect upon his existence than the near-by, everyday happenings. Perhaps it is well, then, at the begin ning of science study, to take his point of view, and lead him to follow each apparently simple need or desire, and to arouse in him the habit of seeking for a cause, and looking beyond the present and immediate to the future and the ultimate. It may be truly said that in a General Science course, All roads lead to Rome, for the course may be commenced any where, and it will lead to a study of all science. In fact, if the pun may be forgiven, in a General Science course, All roads lead to roam, and the pupil, after he is started, needs but to be guided. That is the purpose of this book. It is not easy to teach a course in general science success fully. There is always the temptation to specialize in some particular part, usually the part which the teacher likes best, and about which he knows most. If this temptation is not resisted, the course ceases to be general. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Teaching of Science in the Elementary School (Classic Reprint) by Gilbert Haven Trafton Pdf

Excerpt from The Teaching of Science in the Elementary School The part that science plays in modern life is so vital that science teaching must inevitably have an important place in the school curriculum. There has been some confusion regarding the term to be used to cover the work in science in the elementary school Nature-study' has been the word in most common usage. But there is considerable misunderstanding as to what is included under this term. In recent years it has been used in an ever-broadening sense till now the word is used by many educators to include all phases of science adapted to the elementary school. But among people in general the common notion still prevails that nature-study includes only the study of Wild plants and animals. So that, considering all sides of the matter, it has seemed better to the author to adopt the word science instead of nature-study, as tending to involve less mis understanding and as helping to establish an appropriate and standard term.

A Text-Book in General Science (Classic Reprint) by Gilbert H. Trafton Pdf

Excerpt from A Text-Book in General Science Education for the present life of the child should be the chief purpose of our schools. This book seeks to carry out this principle so far as science is concerned. We are living in the midst of a great scientific age. Applications of science more and more dominate our life, and they will continue to do so in ever-increasing degree. Any sane system of education must see to it that boys and girls living in the midst of these applications, which form such an important part of their everyday life, are educated in terms of this environment, in order that they may better appreciate it and adapt themselves to it. This book is an attempt to make clear to boys and girls answers to some of the ques /tions naturally arising in their minds concerning the com mon applications of science.

General Science Quarterly, 1916-1918 by W. G. Whitman Pdf

Excerpt from General Science Quarterly, 1916-1918: Volumes I and II As an attempt to get back nearer to the world in which the pupil lives, and away from a world which exists only for the seien tist, the general science tendency has, as I have just said, its justification. But I have an impression that in practice it may mean two quite different things. It may take its departure from sciences which are already differentiated, and simply pick out pieces from them, some from physics, some from chemistry, some from physiography, some from botany, etc., and out Of this varied selection form something to serve as an introduction to sciences in a more specialized form. Now this method I believe to be Of the static type after all. It gives scope for variety and adapta tion, and will work with the right teacher. But urged as a general movement, I believe it retains the essential mistake 'of any method which begins with scientific knowledge in its already made form, while in addition it lends itself very easily to scrappy and super ficial work, and even to a distaste for the continued and serious thinking necessary to a real mastery Of science. General science may, however, have another meaning. It may mean that a person who is himself an expert in scientific know ledge, forgets for the time being the conventional divisions of the sciences, and puts himself at the standpoint Of pupil's experience Of natural forces together with their ordinary useful applications. He does not however forget the scientific possibilities Of these ex periences, nor does he forget that there is an order Of relative importance in scientific principles - that is to say, that some are more fundamental, some necessary in order to understand others, and thus more fruitful and ramifying.

A First Year Course in General Science (Classic Reprint) by Clara a Pease Pdf

Excerpt from A First Year Course in General Science It is not necessary, in this period of the making of high school curricula, to show that, for the first year of a high school, a general course in science is better than a year's study of one branch of science. Without discussion of the advisability of a general course, therefore, the author would state her reasons for the wide choice of subjects considered in this book. For pupils who complete a high school course, the study of general science should be an introduction to any ordinary high school work in biology, physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy. No pupil can study all of these subjects, but he can learn that they are not separate sciences but branches of science. Whatever branch he studies later, he will find that the course in general science has given him the elements of the other divisions which dovetail into that branch. To suit the needs of pupils who are not able to finish a high school course, this first year science course must present a comprehensive view, though with no attempt to be complete. "The proper study of mankind" for the pupil at the age of twelve to fourteen years seems to be the world of which he is a part. The fact that the earth, important as it is to man, is not the only nor the greatest body in the universe; that it is not an independent body sufficient unto itself; and that its influence extends to other bodies - these are some of the subjects taken up in the first chapters.

Laboratory Lessons in General Science (Classic Reprint) by Herbert Brownell Pdf

Excerpt from Laboratory Lessons in General Science This set of laboratory exercises in general science is an outgrowth of courses given by the author in methods of teaching secondary school sciences. Some of the lessons represent the combined efforts of a class upon an assigned topic, but SO reshaped that credit to any individual is out of question. Free use has been made of material from the author's Lessons in Astronomy, Chemistry, Nature Study, and Physics - manuals prepared for his own class work. Many of the exercises have enough material for more than one lesson, and Should be subdivided to suit teaching conditions. The preparation of these lessons was stimulated by the belief that one chief cause of failure to get desired results with beginning classes in the high school sciences lay in the character of the material chosen. It was believed possible to bring together from scattered sources that which would appeal to beginners and which would find its unity in their life experiences and interests. This involved the rejection of much material of great worth from the differentiated high school sciences that is un suited for an elementary course. Teachers subject to the exactions of schoolroom service do not have the time to make selections of material and properly to relate and adapt them for use.

General Science by Charles H. Lake Pdf

Excerpt from General Science The question of what science shall be taught in the first year of the regular high school, or in the eighth or ninth years of the Junior High School, is becoming one of steadily increasing importance. The logical course for this period of the child's school life seems to be a general course in those elements of science which will form a foundation for the sciences which usually come later in the high school courses of study, and which will give the best training to those who may withdraw from school at the end of the ninth year. For a number of years physical geography was the science commonly taught in the ninth year. Teachers of this subject found that in order to do their best work, it was necessary to give a considerable portion of their time to teaching the elements of related sciences such as physics, chemistry, and botany. The same thing was true of the teachers of the biological sciences. This fact furnishes an excellent argument for the substitution of a course in general science for the sciences which were formerly taught in the first year of our high schools. First year science is intended for immature minds. It must be presented and illustrated in such a way that the pupil will not be confused with terms which are too technical nor with treatments of topics which are too advanced for him.

Excerpt from Education as a Science IN the present work I have surveyed the Teaching Art, as far as possible, from a scientific point of view; which means, among other things, that the maxims of ordinary experience are tested and amended by bringing them under the best ascertained laws of the mind. I have devoted one long chapter to an account of the Intellect and the Emotions in their bearings on education. The remainder of the work is occupied with the several topics more specially connected with the subject. There are certain terms and phrases that play a lead ing part in the various discussions and to each of these I have endeavoured at the outset to assign a precise meaning. They are - Memory, Judgment, Imagination, proceeding from the Known to the Unknown, Analysis and Synthesis, Object Lesson, Information and Train ing, doing One Thing Well.
