Synopsis

Imagination And Its Place In Education is a book written by Edwin Asbury Kirkpatrick in 1920. The book explores the role of imagination in the educational process, arguing that imagination is a fundamental aspect of human cognition and plays a crucial role in the development of knowledge and understanding. Kirkpatrick draws on a wide range of sources, including philosophy, psychology, and education theory, to make his case for the importance of imagination in education. He discusses the different types of imagination, including sensory, motor, and emotional, and how they can be used to enhance learning and creativity. The book also includes practical suggestions for educators on how to incorporate imaginative activities into the classroom, such as storytelling, role-playing, and creative writing. Overall, Imagination And Its Place In Education is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the role of imagination in education, and its relevance to contemporary educational practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Science embodies universal truths. Literature expresses truth as seen or exemplified by individuals. Neither literature nor the science of psychology alone can adequately deal with the subject of imagination. Psychology seeks to present what is true of all minds, but in no type of mental activity is there greater individuality than in the exercise of the imagination. The writer, in his many years of teaching psychology, has enjoyed this subject because tests given students and their reports of introspective studies show that the same laws govern all minds, though they are partly disguised by an infinite variety of image combinations. No topic reveals to students more clearly their mental processes and at the same time shows them that other persons arrive at the same results by different routes. It gives the author satisfaction, therefore, to share with a larger group than that comprising his own students the pleasure and advantage to be derived from a study of so interesting a subject. He hopes that this little book will introduce many to a study of the facts in the realm of imagination as exemplified in their own minds and in the minds of others, especially children, and as revealed in play, science, art, and literature. With this end in view, scientific technicalities and exhaustive treatment have intentionally been avoided.

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.
