Book excerpt: Excerpt from Projects in Observation and Practice Teaching for High Schools, Normal Schools and Teachers Colleges The time allotment for this course in observation and methods is eighteen weeks. Two days of each week are to be devoted to observation of demonstration teaching, and three days to class discussion of methods. Organization of the Course In the organization of this course there is no attempt made at completeness or logical sequence. It is a course for beginners. For them a logical and complete treatment of the subject would be fatal. The observers problems are treated psychologically rather than logically. The authors first concern is to make the students conscious of the problems, to make the problems real to them. The second is to motivate the study of the problems, to get the students into the work purposefully and whole-heartedly. The last concern is lo get the students to make a good beginning of the study of the problems and see and understand them in their practical rather than theoretical relations. Purpose of Observation Work The primary purpose of the observation work is to furnish a concrete basis for the study of education. Too often class discussions are entirely divorced from first-hand information of school practice. Such work is bookish and valueless to the student who is just beginning to study education. The observation work as outlined will furnish the students with concrete experiences by means of which they can interpret what they read and what they hear in a rational and meaningful way. Reading-Reference Work It is an easy matter to make the reading end of a course like this too heavy. If a student spends the greater portion of his time in reading -references, he must neglect other important features of the work. The maximum amount of time that can be reasonably devoted to the study of each problem outside of recitation periods is two hundred minutes. During this time the student is expected to write answers to the observation questions, read references, write answers to exercises based on references, and finally write out the solution to the observer's problem.
