Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education as a Science IN the present work I have surveyed the Teaching Art, as far as possible, from a scientific point of view; which means, among other things, that the maxims of ordinary experience are tested and amended by bringing them under the best ascertained laws of the mind. I have devoted one long chapter to an account of the Intellect and the Emotions in their bearings on education. The remainder of the work is occupied with the several topics more specially connected with the subject. There are certain terms and phrases that play a lead ing part in the various discussions and to each of these I have endeavoured at the outset to assign a precise meaning. They are - Memory, Judgment, Imagination, proceeding from the Known to the Unknown, Analysis and Synthesis, Object Lesson, Information and Train ing, doing One Thing Well.

The addresses were, for the most part, de livered to teachers of physics and chemistry. Why then should not the title be The Teaching of Phys ical Science? Although the illustrations were of necessity chosen mostly from physical science, the addresses were a constant appeal to all science teachers to teach science rather than special sciences. The addresses are arranged in chronological rather than logical order. Although the same theme is often repeated, the treatment is progressive as befits the history of the growth of certain ideas among teachers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Science in the Elementary School The part that science plays in modern life is so vital that science teaching must inevitably have an important place in the school curriculum. There has been some confusion regarding the term to be used to cover the work in science in the elementary school Nature-study' has been the word in most common usage. But there is considerable misunderstanding as to what is included under this term. In recent years it has been used in an ever-broadening sense till now the word is used by many educators to include all phases of science adapted to the elementary school. But among people in general the common notion still prevails that nature-study includes only the study of Wild plants and animals. So that, considering all sides of the matter, it has seemed better to the author to adopt the word science instead of nature-study, as tending to involve less mis understanding and as helping to establish an appropriate and standard term.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of General Science Never before in this country has there been so insistent a demand for a more thorough and more comprehensive system of instruction in practical science. Forced by recent events to compare our education with that of other nations, we have suddenly become aware of our negligence in this matter. Now industrial and educational experts and commissions are united in demanding a change. While on the whole there has been a steady increase in the amount of time given to science work in the secondary and elementary schools, the attention paid to it, especially in the elementary schools, has been some what spasmodic, and its administration has been more or less chaotic. This is not due to lack of interest on the part of school officials but to their dissatisfaction with the methods of instruction employed. There is no doubt that superintendents would gladly introduce more science if they felt sure that the educational results would be commensurate with the time expended. This is indicated by a recent survey of about one hundred and fifty cities in seven states of the Central West. The survey shows that two-thirds of them have nature study in the elementary schools and that all are re quiring some science for graduation from the high school. The average high school is offering three years of science. Since 1900 there has been a greater increase in the percentage of students enrolled in science in the high schools than in any other subject with the one exception of English. Moreover, greater attention is now being paid to the training of teachers in methods of presentation of science. X The chief needs in science instruction today are a more efficient organization of the course of study with a View to its socialization and practical application, and a clear-cut realization on the part of the teacher of the aims, the principles of organization, and the methods of instruction; it is to meet these needs that this series is being issued. The books attempt to present such generalizations of science as the average pupil should carry away from his school experience and to organize them for the preparation of the teacher and for presenta tion to the class. The volumes will therefore be of three kinds: (1) source books with accompanying field and laboratory guides for the use of students in normal schools and schools of education, and of teachers, (2) pupils' texts and notebooks, and (3) books on the teaching of the various science subjects. In the first the material will be organized with special reference to the training of the teacher and the most effective methods of presenting the subject to students. In the second the matter will be simplified, graded, and arranged in such a way that the books will serve as guides in science work for the pupils themselves. Moreover, they will furnish texts for the grades and high school that will simplify the teacher's task of presentation and will assure well-tried and well-organized experiences, on the part of the pupil, with natural objects. This series of texts for elementary and secondary schools will have dependent continuity and the subject-matter will gradually increase in difficulty to accord with the increasing capacity of the pupils. It will furnish a unified course in science. The third type of book is for the teacher and deals with the history, aims, principles of organization, and methods of instruction in the several sciences.

First, it may be used as a text for a broad general course in the fundamental principles of science teaching, intended for all those who are preparing for the teaching of any of the special sciences. In this case the chapters of general interest should receive the most study and attention; and those de voted to the special sciences, Chapters XII to XXIII, should be touched more lightly, being used for the most part as bases for special reports to the class by those most interested in the particular sciences of which these chapters treat.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Science For these reasons, without real blame being attributable to any one, the proper aim of the study of science in the high schools was defeated. Disturbers of the educational peace then pointed to the fact that approximately only five per cent of the high school pupils go to college. They questioned the dictum that the best education for the pupil preparing for college is the best education for the pupil going immediately into active life. It was pointed out that everybody who took science was being forced to study a great deal of pure theory that could not be connected with practical life without much subsequent study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Science and Art of Education Joseph payne's writings possess a high value on account of the scientific form which his statements pertaining to education take on. The crystallizing process seems to have set in; truths no longer stand separate, but tend to organize. During the latter part of this century the question - Has Edu cation a scientific foundation? Began to be asked, doubtfully by most. The Art of Teaching had been learned by imitation; the teacher sought no principles, because he never heard they existed. But great men from time to time became teachers. Rabelais, Montaigne, Locke, the Jesuits Rosseau, Pestalozzi, Froebel, and many others, rolled up a rich mass of teaching-facts, and partially arranged them in order. It needed next a philosophic mind to deal with these discoveries, to state their value and explain them. Joseph Payne seemed raised up for this purpose; his cast of mind, education and experience, fitted him to investigate this field of thought.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organisation of Thought: Educational and Scientific When I had the honour of being made President of the Mathematical Association, I did not foresee the unusual responsibility which it entailed. It was my intention to take as the theme of a presidential address the consideration of some aspect of those special subjects to which my own researches have principally been directed. Events have forced me to abandon that intention. It is useless to discuss abstract questions in the midst of dominant practical preoccupation. We cannot disregard the present crisis in European civilisation. It affects every function of life. In the harder struggle for existence which lies before the nation, all departments of national effort will be reviewed for judgment. The mere necessity for economy in resources will provoke this reformation. We are concerned with education.

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Possibility of a Science of Education Can there be a science of education as there is a science of mathematics, of physics, of medicine, or of ethics; are there educational facts or principles capable of discovery and systematization which are so fundamental, universal and important as to differentiate educational science from every other; and, further, is a study of such educational science of service to the educator by furnishing him with instruments of insight which will be valuable in the determination of the true purpose of education and of ways and means to its attainment? This, in brief, is the problem submitted for investigation. No argument is necessary to demonstrate the important practical bearing of the problem proposed. Its solution affects in a most profound and vital way every phase of educational procedure. More especially is this true in regard to the prep aration of teachers. If the foregoing questions are answered in the negative, the so-called professional training of teachers is a delusion and a snare, and had better be dispensed with. On the other hand, if an affirmative answer should be given to these questions every teacher, from the kindergarten to the university, would be rendered more efficient by a cer tain quantum of a suitable kind of preliminary professional training. The problem is an old and familiar one and has in some form or other received the attention of scholars and practical men from the earliest times. With the modern scientific movement the subject has naturally come prominently into the foreground of public consciousness, and has received extended and scholarly treat ment at the hands of many eminent philosophers and scientists. The view advocated by many of these writers - especially by university men - is, in brief, that science being abstract and universal, and the child concrete and individual, there can be no science of education properly so called and, further, that as knowledge, natural aptitude and successful experience are the prime requisites of the successful teacher, pedagogical training is unnecessary and may do more harm than good.
