Rethinking how we teach: a thoughtful guide to curriculum that balances theory with real classroom practice.
Educational Values and Methods explores how teachers can choose material that truly benefits students. It looks at what makes a subject matter worth studying, and how to avoid simple, one‑sided training. The book discusses the challenges teachers face when reforms affect jobs and traditions, and it offers principles for selecting content that connects with real life and broad learning goals.
Drawing on psychology and pedagogy, the author explains how interests, growth, balance, and correlation shape the curriculum. It argues for a wide, integrated program rather than concentrating on a single “core” area, while recognizing the need to adapt material to children’s abilities and experiences. The text also covers practical ways to bring art and nature into the classroom and to make learning feel more connected to the world outside school.
Ideal for readers who want a thoughtful framework for curriculum design and classroom practice.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the theory of formal discipline, which posits that focused training on a single mental faculty can enhance that faculty's performance across the board. The author traces the history of this theory from ancient Greece to the 19th century, examining evidence from experiments conducted by notable psychologists like Meumann and Thorndike. The author critically reviews these experiments, highlighting methodological flaws and questionable inferences, and ultimately concludes that the theory lacks empirical support. Instead, the author argues for a more nuanced understanding of mental development, emphasizing the importance of considering task-specific abilities and the role of common elements in transfer effects. Through its rigorous analysis, this book sheds light on the complex relationship between training and mental performance, challenging traditional assumptions and offering valuable insights for educators and psychologists alike.
