Synopsis
Excerpt from Science-Teaching in the Schools: An Address Delivered Before the American Naturalists
Another reason for this reform, though less Obvious, is perhaps even more important. A sound system of education must take account of the natural order of development Of the mental faculties. Nor need we be in any doubt as to what that order is. The perceptive faculties are the earliest to be developed; later come into activity the powers of abstract thought; later still does consciousness become reflective, and reveal the world of mind. The attention Of a healthy and normally developing child is given almost exclusively to the phenomena of the external world. The questions which he asks his parents and other adult friends (if he has not been snubbed too many times in such questioning) relate almost exclusively to objects of sense around him. There are, indeed, miraculous children who speculate about the' nature of the soul almost before they molt the long dresses of baby hood; but such children usually die of precocious genius or early piety on the brain, and may therefore be disregarded in any discussion of general education. Young children in process of normal development are what some one has called the Buddhists - unconscious materialists. They do not disbelieve in a spiritual world; they ignore it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by a prominent naturalist, discusses the importance of including science in school curriculum to equip children with knowledge and critical thinking skills relevant for their roles in society.

The author argues that science education should begin in early education and continue throughout primary, secondary, and higher education. The book outlines specific science topics suitable for different levels, such as plant and animal studies for primary grades, physics and chemistry for grammar school, and advanced courses in high school. It emphasizes the development of observational, descriptive, comparative, and analytical skills through experiential learning. The author also highlights the value of science in promoting curiosity, appreciation for nature, and an understanding of the world.
