PREFACE
The art of teaching is based primarily upon the science of
psychology. In this book the authors have sought to make
clear the principles of psychology which are involved in
teaching, and to show definitely their application in the
work of the classroom. The book has been written in
language as free from technical terms as is possible.
In a discussion of the methods of teaching it is necessary
to consider the ends or aims involved, as well as the
process. The authors have, on this account, included a
chapter on the work of the teacher, in which is discussed
the aims of education. The success or failure of the work
of a teacher is determined by the changes which are
brought to pass in the children who are being taught.
This
book, therefore, includes a chapter on the measurement
of the achievements of children. Throughout the book the
discussion of the art of teaching is always modified by an
acceptance upon the part of the writers of the social
purpose of education.
The treatment of each topic will be
found to be based upon investigations and researches in
the fields of psychology and education which involve the
measurement of the achievements of children and of
adults under varying conditions. Wherever possible, the
relation between the principle of teaching laid down and
the scientific inquiry upon which it is based is indicated.
Any careful study of the mental life and development of
children reveals at the same time the unity and the
diversity of the process involved. For the sake of
definiteness and clearness, the authors have
differentiated between types of mental activity and the
corresponding types of classroom exercises.
They have,
at the same time, sought to make clear the
interdependence of the various aspects of teaching
method and the unity involved in mental development.
