Synopsis
Excerpt from The Universities and the Training of Teachers: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered in the Hall of Queen's College on October 22, 1919
I want in this lecture to indicate, so far as is possible at this early stage, the meaning and intention of the changes recently effected in the organization of the Training Depart ment of the University, and to make clear that they are the outcome of a new policy to meet a new situation.
The Act of 1918 makes a very heavy demand upon the resources of the country for the education and training of the thousands of new teachers it will require. The Universi ties alone can meet this need, and I shall try to sketch in outline the measures which will enable us in Oxford to do our part, and at the same time to show what is involved in any thorough system of training of University standard.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delineates new policies to meet a new situation marked by a revolutionary demand for education. It responds to the Act of 1918's call for substantial resources for training teachers. The author insists that only the Universities can fulfill this need and sketches the measures needed to enable Oxford University to play its part. The book acknowledges the Board of Education's appeal to the Universities to produce teachers for a new type of Continuation school. Also discussed are the qualities desired in these teachers and how to introduce them to the industrial and commercial environment in which their lives will be spent. The writer emphasizes the need to bring together the academic and professional sides of teacher education, as they are inseparably connected, especially in the case of the majority of the students who will be the University's own graduates. The author stresses the importance of giving these teachers a wider instruction, a professional education that includes the acquisition of knowledge and the capacity necessary for dealing with great fundamental questions of ends as well as means. The writer hopes that the University will continue to train a select few who will ask for more than a simple practical course, that it will preserve and extend the deeper study of fundamentals. This book emphasizes the need for the University to respond to the calls made upon it and showcases the author's commitment to producing a new generation of teachers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330508305_0
