Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book reframes manual training, or shop class, as a subject anchored in scientific principles, rather than tool processes or craftsmanship. The author, who is an established professional in the field, begins by explaining this new approach, suggesting that shop class can be as intellectually valuable as other sciences if it is taught with an emphasis on underlying principles. They then provide a thorough examination of the subject matter of manual training, arguing that it should be selected from those industries that are highly developed and based on scientific tool usage. The author rejects the idea of specialization in the earlier grades, or distinguishing between those headed to industrial work and those to the professions. Instead, they advocate teaching broadly applicable principles that yield a proper return for the time and effort spent in shop class. The book concludes by making a case for the industrial value of manual training when taught properly, suggesting that a solid grasp of principles will lead to greater adaptability and success in the workplace. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of manual training, or looking to improve the effectiveness of shop class in their school.
