Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elementary School Subjects, Vol. 1: How to Teach the Fundamental Subjects Tms book discusses the teaching of the common fundamental subjects found in elementary schools. It also contains suggestions as to what should make up the course of study in these subjects, and it attempts to set forth some of the principles that should underlie methods of instruction and determine the selection of subject-matter. It is essentially a book for the use of teachers and supervisors of schools and for those who are preparing to be teachers. The subjects discussed consume by far the greater part of the time of both teachers and pupils in the elementary schools. To say that the teaching of these subjects should be as skillful as possible is a common place. Because of the difference in the quality of teaching, one class exercise in reading is of infinitely greater value than another class exercise. For the same reason, one school may be found to be inferior to another school, even in the same system. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Fundamentals in Elementary Education (Classic Reprint) by : Claude A. Fhillips
Download or read book Fundamentals in Elementary Education (Classic Reprint) written by Claude A. Fhillips and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fundamentals in Elementary Education The subject matter of this book is a direct outgrowth of the experiences of the Department of Education in the State Normal School at Warrensburg, Missouri, in giving courses in Education to beginners in that subject. During the ten years of the experiment, the major portion of the material has been tried out in more than one hundred fifty classes, taught by well-trained teachers. The book is de signed primarily for students in Teacher-training Classes in Education in high schools, and in Elementary Courses in normal schools; and it is well adapted to Teachers' Reading Circles. It might well be used as an Introductory Course in Education in colleges or in College Courses in normal schools. The author has tried to keep in the foreground the function of the elementary school as the greatest single agency in a democracy for the education of its children, and, while no effort has been made to exhaust the topics concerning elementary schools, an attempt has been made to discuss the fundamental ones with considerable detail and thoroughness. Practically all of the Problems presented at the end of each chapter may be answered from the subject matter contained in the text, and the experiences of the teacher and students. The selected readings are intended chiefly for supplementary purposes, and for those students who have access to a good library. It is needless to state that the writer claims no large degree of originality for the volume, because he has drawn freely upon pedagogical literature as it relates to the elementary school.

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Class-Room Method and Management The aim of education, and hence of any subject in the curriculum, is to be defined in terms (1) of fruitful knowl edge, (2) right attitudes, (3) applied skills. Hence the question for each subject becomes how to select, organize and present such material as will result in the desired knowl edge, attitudes and skills. The answer to this problem for any particular subject constitutes its method. From this point of view method becomes very definite and concrete, and its application to school-room practise very immediate and Specific. Part II builds on the foundations already laid and out lines the method of the elementary subjects. In each case it asks the question (1) what is the aim of this branch - what fruitful knowledge, what helpful attitudes, what applied skills should it give the child; (2) what particular subject matter must be used to accomplish these aims; (3) how shall I organise and teach this material to reach the desired aim. In answering these questions there has been an attempt to avoid mere dogmatism and to use the best current points of view in education.

This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook for Elementary Schools, 1932 The success of an elementary school is largely dependent on proper organization. The distribution of the work among the several teachers is a vital problem. This is properly the function of the superintendent working through the principal. It is important that teachers know at the time of election that grade placement is in the hands Of the principal. It is desirable that the pupil-load be distributed as equitably as possi ble. It is undesirable organization for some teachers to be overloaded while others have comparatively few pupils. It is Often necessary for teachers to have pupils from two different grades in order to equalize the pupil-load. The practice of teaching high school pupils in an elementary school usually results in poor high school work and deprives elementary children of services rightly belonging to them. It makes proper elementary in struction almost impossible, since it usually means that the time Of one teacher is taken up with high school work and the pupil-load in the elementary school is increased for the other teachers. Certification. Each type of certificate requires a minimum training peculiar to the certificate. To change a certificate from one field to another it is necessary to have credit for all of the work prescribed for the certificate to which one wishes to change. High School Teachers' Certificates are now issued in subjects. One is restricted to teaching in the high school the subject or subjects which appear on the certificate. These subject High School Certificates are not valid for teaching in the elementary grades. The blanket or general High School Teacher's Certificate issued prior to July 1, 1931, is valid for teaching any subject in the high school, except Vocational Home Economics and Agriculture. The certificate, also, per mits one to teach as low as the fourth grade in a standard elementary school, or in any grade of the elementary school if it is not standard. However, such practice is highly undesirable. To be issued a grade certificate, it would be necessary to meet the present requirements for the certificate desired.

Book Synopsis The Teaching of General Science (Classic Reprint) by : William Lewis Eikenberry
Download or read book The Teaching of General Science (Classic Reprint) written by William Lewis Eikenberry and published by Forgotten Books. 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.

Book Synopsis Method and Methods in the Teaching of English (Classic Reprint) by : Israel Edwin Goldwasser

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Method and Methods in the Teaching of English To afiect the various motives that may prompt an author to add one more to the many books on methods of teaching that are now available, there seem to be two very good reasons why a new text on the teaching of English may be deemed unnecessary. In the first place, there are a number of excellent discussions of the general phases of the subject and of special branches, which are sound in principle and scholarly in analysis of the material. Secondly, in these days when so much is said in favor of allowing the initiative of the teacher to find full expression, any book which prescribes definite methods of teaching may be said to set itself against the trend of modern theory. Despite these considerations, however, I have long felt that there is a definite need for the kind of treatment of' the subjects connected with the teaching of English in the elementary schools that I have given in this book. There is a real need of specific suggestions as to a rational mode of approaching and' developing the work in English. Teachers are everywhere asking for direc tions which will give them not so much a model for direct imita tion as a basis for intelligent self-criticism. This book aims to present a consistent method of work in all the branches of elemenary English. While drawing freely from the various accepted texts, and adopting without hesitation many valuable suggestions from teachers and writers in all grades of the work, it claims consideration for this original feature: It aims to separate the teaching of technique from the teaching for appreciation and self-expression, and it seeks to found its methods upon a definite psychology of the learning process.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reading and Literature in the Elementary School Furthermore, this theory recognizes the idea that the scho does not have the time to teach all that could be, learned with] a given subject, and that equal value is not placed upon' t various items Of that subject. The school cannot expect take time to teach pupils how to spell all the words in t English language, or to be able to solve all the mathematic problems, or to read all the literature that has been writte Nor do people place the same value upon the ability spell abracadabra and the ability to Spell about. For pu poses Of school instruction this means that the items with: a given subject have relative value, and the school should teac first and most completely those items that have the greate value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Teach the Special Subjects The companion volume in this series of textbooks, written by the same authors, has proven very useful to thousands of teachers as a guide in giving instruction in the so-called fundamental subjects of the ele-mentary-school course. The teaching of arithmetic, geography, history, and English, though, is usually found easy in comparison with that of the special subjects, largely due to the better instruction in both subject-matter and methods which teachers in training are given in these fundamentals. In many of our larger school systems, too, special supervisors for each of the special subjects are employed to direct the instruction and to advise teachers as to the best practices and the most satisfactory methods to be employed. In the smaller school systems, however, and in all rural-school systems not organized under the county-unit form of school administration, such special supervision is almost invariably absent. In all such schools elementary teachers must not only teach the fundamental, but the special, subjects as well, without other help than an occasional visit from a supervisory officer and such books as the present number in the series and its companion volume can give.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrative Handwork for Elementary School Subjects: A Desk Manual for Classroom Teachers The studies which form the basis of this book were undertaken, not so much to prove the value of the methods, as to test the extent of their usefulness under the conditions existing in the ordinary school. Illustrative methods in various forms have, for some time, formed a regular part of the work in many progressive schools, but in some quarters the impression has prevailed that their usefulness is possible only under especially favorable conditions. A report of these studies was first submitted as a Master's Thesis in the Graduate School of the University of Missouri. Some of the principles upon which these studies are based are further discussed in a bulletin recently issued by the Manual Arts Department of the University of Missouri. The list of projects described in this book includes also many problems worked out in Columbia and other towns as a part of the everyday program and not as special studies. All of the projects here described were carried out in the regular classroom by the regular teacher under conditions common to the average school.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History in the Elementary Schools Methods, Courses of Study, Bibliographies The course of study outlined in the following pages is first of all practicable. It has been subjected to the test of teachers and supervisors in elementary schools of the country and the city, and of Normal Training Schools. It is the result of years of experience in public schools con ducted under ordinary conditions. It is easily adaptable to either graded or ungraded schools. While it provides for a complete course of study in history from the first to the eighth grades inclusive, it is so arranged that it may be used in connection with any rational plan of correlation of history with other subjects, especially with industrial training, literature and geog raphy. This is particularly true of the outlines for the first four grades. In ungraded schools and those only partially graded, doubtless the demands of the daily pro gram render the adoption of some scheme of combining and coordinating allied subjects an actual necessity. This course provides the desired core or basis for the corre lation of history, geography and literature and, in the primary grades, manual training, in a perfectly natural and interesting manner.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Geography in Elementary Schools This little book is an attempt to apply the newer conceptions of Geography to teaching in elementary schools. It in no way aims at being original in its treatment of the subject itself: for these we are indebted to the body of geographers who have during the last few years revolutionized the con ception of the subject, in particular to Mr. H. J. Mackinder and Dr. A. J. Herbertson, to Whose works frequent reference is made in the following pages. We felt, however, that in regard to the teaching of Geography in elementary schools, the central idea for which they are struggling - that Geography is, above all things, the examination of the effect of natural agencies on human affairs - is not yet sufficiently recognized and acted upon, and our alm IS to throw out some suggestions as to changes in the teaching which we believe would help the better realization of this idea. In the case of branches of the subject which have only recently come into prominence, we have given some outline of the subject-matter to serve as an introduction of them to readers to whom they may be unfamiliar, and have added information as to sources from which information may be obtained. In the Index the pages where subjects are treated most fully have been printed in black type. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
