Synopsis

Discover practical classroom science through hands-on building. This nonfiction guide explains how manual training can support and enhance the standard school program. It presents a clear rationale for integrating supervised workshops with traditional learning, and shows how student-made projects reinforce core concepts in science, measurement, and design.

This edition walks readers through a sequence of courses that blend cardboard work, bench work, glass work, and metal work. It emphasizes safe, student-driven exploration, with step‑by‑step instructions that teachers can adapt for their classrooms. The book highlights the value of creating working models and simple apparatus to demonstrate physical principles at a comfortable, observable scale.

What you’ll experience

Ideal for teachers, shop instructors, and students who want a practical route to integrate manual skills with science and mathematics. If you value hands-on learning that connects classroom theory to real-world problem solving, this edition offers a coherent, classroom‑friendly path to build confidence and competence.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As the whole question of Manual Training has been discussed, the objections to it considered, and its historical development traced, by Dr. Gdtze in his Manual, published in the early part of the present year, it will be unnecessary to repeat here what is already on record in an accessible form. The special objects of the present volume are fully set forth in the two introductory chapters. The impression would seem to prevail in some quarters that Manual Training is essentially a subject for primary schools, in which education proper is subordinated to the means of bread-winning. That, however, is not the view of its advocates, who claim that its educative qualities are such that no school can afford to ignore it. As many of the higher schools already possess workshops, it would be easy for them to make trial of the system. The expense is not greater than that involved by the common, unmethodical forms of handicraft as taught by the artisan. Perhaps the making of apparatus may commend itself to utilitarian minds by its practical value, and induce investigation of the whole matter. In making the translation I have aimed at lucidity rather than finish, and have not shrunk from repetition or seeming redundancy of phrase if greater clearness seemed to result therefrom. Technical terms have been, as much as possible, avoided, and such only have been admitted as are of almost universal acceptance.
