Synopsis

Explore how education shapes habits, character, and practical skills. This book analyzes the functions of schooling and how it influences a child’s development, from reading readiness to moral and social growth. It connects ideas from psychology, philosophy, and everyday classroom life to explain what makes learning stick and why certain subjects matter in the long run.

Through concrete discussion of training within the elementary and secondary years, the author examines why teachers focus on habit formation, the value of activities like arithmetic, drawing, and manual training, and how conventional manners and morals become part of a student’s character. The work also looks at how language study and other subjects prepare learners for future tasks, both practical and civic.

• How habits formed in school carry into later life and the limits of their transfer.


• The utilitarian and preparatory values of subjects such as arithmetic, drawing, and manual training.


• The roles of language, etiquette, and social norms in education.


• Strategies for shaping automatic, virtue‑based responses in students.

Ideal for educators, student teachers, and readers interested in the aims and effects of education.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The purpose.of the present volume is stated in the I ntroduction, and a brief outline of the treatment is there presented. The book has grown gradually out of the early attempts of the writer to organize the methods of teaching upon a rational basis. Lacking such a basis of organization, the task of equipping candidates for educational service with the experience that the preceding generations of teachers had accumulated seemed well-nigh hopeless. Lacking such a system, also, the adequate evaluation of new methods and new tendencies could not be satisfactorily accomplished. The terminology developed in the following chapters has proved helpful to the writer in his own classroom work. It is hoped that it may prove suggestive to others, and it is for this reason that it is presented. The time is perhaps not yet ripe for a final statement of educational functions; this must await the satisfactory development of the science of psychology, especially in the field of the higher thought-processes and in the field of the emotions. The recent investigations in these two fields, however, seem to warrant at the present time a tentative restatement of educational doctrine. The time will never be ripe for a final statement of educational values, for values vary with the varying conceptions of the end of education.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
