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.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course in Nature Study for Use in the Public Schools The following Bulletin, giving a course in Nature Study for the public schools, is one of the most important and valuable of all of those which the Department has hitherto published. The course was outlined and prepared by Miss Louise Miller, who for several years had charge of Nature Study work in the schools of Detroit, Mich., and will commend itself to natural history teachers as being not only scientifically accurate and exceedingly suggestive, but as also outlining in a systematic way, a branch and method of education peculiarly adapted to country schools. The study of nature, by observing the things themselves, is the new and rational method of instruction and constitutes what now is known by the modern name, "Nature Study." This bulletin is intended as a guide to teachers, indicating the subjects adapted to each grade of scholars, and giving the order in which the subject ought to be pursued. An inspection of the work proposed by this course will show how much there is in the vicinity of every country school to interest and instruct in the numerous natural objects, in regard to which the mass of our population have but little knowledge, and which, if properly presented, may be, at least partially understood, by the smallest pupil. The bulletin is also informal notice to teachers in Pennsylvania that in the near future, such instruction as it outlines, will be required in every country school. Those, therefore, who wish to follow this profession will do well to acquaint themselves with the method here presented, and begin preparation for the work to be performed, so that when their examiners come to question them as to natural objects, whose uses and characteristics they are expected to understand and explain to others, they may be ready to answer intelligently, and satisfactorily perform the duties required. This is no new fad in education, but is older than the Commonwealth itself. William Penn, near the close of his life, in a work entitled Reflections and Maxims, suggested substantially the method now proposed to be pursued in the education of our youth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Domestic Science: Principles and Application, a d104book for Schools This textbook is arranged to meet the needs of schools having a two-year course in Domestic Science, and an effort has been made to present the fundamental principles, together with their application, in a simple, natural sequence that is adapted to the needs of the large majority of public and private schools. A text of this kind does away with the keeping of elaborate notebooks on the part of the pupils, saves for more important things the time used in dictating notes, and makes the work more permanent and uniform through out. The arrangement of the subject matter by lessons does not necessarily limit the course to 64 lessons. If the students are old enough, additional reading may be used to supplement the subject matter, and several recipes are given under each application to afford plenty of practical work for classes having more than one lesson each week. The usual length of the class period is 1% hours, and one recipe is all that can be done well in that time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Study in the Elementary Schools Shall we shut out from the education of the child that which so helps and develops, so broadens and ele vates you and me? To the eye that sees, the swelling bud, the unfolding leaf, the opening ower, the germin ating seed, tell a story no less wonderful than that which comes from these mountains, a story of care and purpose and plan. To the ear that hears, the song of the bird, the patter of the rain-drops, the Singing of the tea-kettle, and bubbling of the brook, tell of work done and work to be done, of mutual dependence and mutual helpfulness. T o the mind that thinks, to the heart that understands, the soil of the field, the sandof the seashore, the very dust at our feet, tell of action and change. The child will grasp the thought, will reach after the over-thought. To the child the book of nature is a book of revelation. Will you close it to him or will you open it wide before his eager eyes? The child has been given eyes to see with; while yet in the school of Dame Nature, before he came to you, he used his eyes with wonderful effect. They were the gateway to his world. Will you now limit his Vision to the book, keep his eye fixed on the teacher, until the sight is dimmed for all else? The child came to you with expression in every movement, because every sense was alert and through every avenue he was receiving impressions. Will you limit his telling to that which he has not seen, to that which has been simply absorbed from book or teacher? The child entered your school full of curious whys and quaint hows. Nature suggests them. That is nature's way of leading him to investigate and think for himself. You will not deaden this interest and sti e this curiosity, because it is n't in your book, because your scheme of education does not include thinking about that which is nearest to him, his suvi ronment. To this child of ours, whose training and education are entrusted to us, mother nature has given the sympathy and enthusiasm of the naturalist coupled with the spirit and imagination of the poet. Surely you will seize this Opportunity which nature provides to keep the child turned toward higher and better things.

This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Committee on the Teaching of Hygiene in Public Schools It is also partly due to the difference in cost. Physiology and hygiene, and in the great majority of schools the natural sciences have been taught by the general teacher. Domestic science is invariably taught by special teachers when cooking is included, and at least requires special supervisors to guide the general teachers when sewing is taught, while for both more or less special equipment is needed. Although expense has been an Obstacle to rapid extension, probably not over 100 cities having domestic science in their schools, Special teachers on the other hand have produced, are producing unquestionably more definite educational results. In the very few cities where there are special teachers of natural science, particularly in the grades, the educational results are conspicuously superior. Many educators believe nature study under the general teacher is in many cases, not in all, chiefly a way of killing-time. The salaries Of these special teachers vary from $300 to and this indicates fairly the wide range in their qualifications. Not infrequently we find that a general teacher from the grades or a normal graduate spends a few months, possibly a year, in perhaps a school Of local reputation only, cramming so-called domestic science, and begins teaching with this inadequate preparation. Many are high school, normal or college graduates who have taken Special courses Of two or three years at special institutes such as Pratt or Drexel. Another small group, college women as a rule, add to their undergraduate courses in biology and chemistry extended uni versity graduate work in physical sciences, in sociologic studies, and in arts and crafts, and special research work with such eminent scholars as Professor W. O. Atwater and others found at our chief educational centres. Special teachers in biologic subjects, in chemistry, physics, etc., are with very few exceptions in high schools only; are as a rule college men and women, who have had in many cases additional special courses Often indicated by master's or doctor's degrees. The authors Of numerous text books, including text-books on physiology and hygiene, are from these two groups Of specialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the threads of seventeenth-century natural philosophy began to coalesce into an understanding of the natural world, printed artifacts such as laboratory notebooks, research journals, college textbooks, and popular paperbacks have been instrumental to the development of what we think of today as “science.” But just as the history of science involves more than recording discoveries, so too does the study of print culture extend beyond the mere cataloguing of books. In both disciplines, researchers attempt to comprehend how social structures of power, reputation, and meaning permeate both the written record and the intellectual scaffolding through which scientific debate takes place. Science in Print brings together scholars from the fields of print culture, environmental history, science and technology studies, medical history, and library and information studies. This ambitious volume paints a rich picture of those tools and techniques of printing, publishing, and reading that shaped the ideas and practices that grew into modern science, from the days of the Royal Society of London in the late 1600s to the beginning of the modern U.S. environmental movement in the early 1960s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science in the School: A Course of Experimental Science and Nature-Study, With Teaching Hints As a final result of his school training the pupil should have laid the foundations at least of an intelligent knowledge of living things, and of their relation to one another and to their surroundings, and should have become acquainted with the methods by which such questions are investigated. But this involves a preliminary study of matter and of the forces acting upon it in other words, before biological study can be successfully attempted some knowledge of physics and chemistry is necessary. The amount need not be very great, but the method of acquiring it must be sound. Further, to obtain any proper appreciation of physical and chemical changes, fairly accurate quantitative work is essential, and this involves, though only as a means to an end, a preliminary training in the making of exact measurements. A knowledge of the methods of measuring extension (length, area, volume), mass, density, time, circular movement, degree of heat, and the like, and practice in using the instruments of precision by which these are reckoned make a necessary first claim 011 the young student.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Nature-Study for Teachers and Parents: Based on the Cornell Nature-Study Leaflets, With Much Additional Material and Many New Illustrations At the first meeting Of this committee Mr. Powell made a strong plea for interesting the children of the country in farming as a remedial measure, and maintained that the first step toward agriculture was nature-study. It had been Mr. Powell's custom to give simple agricultural and nature study instruction to the school children Of every town where he was con ducting a farmers' institute, and his opinion was, therefore, based upon experience. The committee desired to see for itself the value of this idea, and experimental work was suggested, using the schools of Westchester County as a laboratory. Mr. R. Fulton Cutting generously furnished the funds for this experiment, and work was done that year in the Westchester schools, which satisfied the committee Of the soundness Of the project.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Free Education by the American Museum of Natural History in Public Schools and Colleges: History and Status of Museum Instruction and Its Extension to the Schools of Greater New York and Vicinity The keynote of the first period of the Museum's educational activities (1869-1904) was instruction for teachers; that of the second period, instruction for pupils. During the first period, the scope of the work included the schools of the entire State. In the second, attention was focused primarily on the schools of New York City. After 1904, when the State withdrew its financial support, the City gradually increased its appropriation for maintenance. It was proper, therefore, that the Museum Should give its attention to the needs of the City schools rather than to those Of the State. Moreover, the introduction of nature study into the curriculum, the development Of modern pedagogical methods, the growth of libraries, the perfecting of projection apparatus which rendered illustrated lectures more practicable, and the continued increase in the wealth of the Museum's educational materials, all contributed to direct the work into new fields.
