Synopsis

Discover how personality drives learning, intelligence, and cultural change across history.

This book argues that personality is the driving force behind education, science, philosophy, and even religion. It traces how individual leaders, thinkers, and creators shape ideas, schools, and societies through their unique powers of thought and action. By linking learning to the inner life of the learner, it offers a fresh lens on how education can cultivate character as well as skill.

Readers will encounters ideas about how intelligence develops from instinct, experience, and deliberate learning. The work discusses how trial-and-error, imitation, and reasoning build abilities from infancy through adulthood. It also introduces the concept of the True Self as a governing center that organizes competing selves into a coherent personality, driving growth and self-realization. Throughout, the emphasis stays on practical implications for teaching, curriculum, and personal development.
  • How personality influences science, art, and philosophy
  • The three paths of learning: trial-and-success, imitation, and reasoning
  • The idea of the True Self and the conservation of character in education
  • Ways to foster self-awareness and growth in learners of all ages
Ideal for readers of education theory, psychology, and the history of ideas who seek a more personal approach to how learning happens.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Personality in Pedagogy; and E. C. Moore of the Department of Education in Yale University, whose courses in the History and Principles of Education inspired the author to undertake this task and under whose direction the work has been done. I am also under lasting obligation to Professors G. A. Coe, H. H. Home and J. W. Buckham for the personal interest manifested in valuable suggestions and wise counsel in the collection of books on the subject. Their own works have proven invaluable. I regard Buckham s Personality and the Christian I deal as the most notable contribution yet made to the literature on Personality. He has practically said the final word on this vital subject. In addition to the works of Coe, Home and Buckham, all those in the Bibliography with the title in Capitals were very helpful, especially Thistleton Mark s Unfolding of Personality; Kandall s Culture of Personality; l Uingworth s Personality Human and Di Tine; and James Varieties of Religious Experience.
