Excerpt from Methods of Teaching: Their Basis and Statement Developed From a Functional Standpoint, Revised and Enlarged
It is hoped that the point of view here developed will not be confused with the problem of school discipline con cerning the authority of the teacher. In answer to the question, Are pupils expected to study subject - matter if they do not feel the need for it? Only an affirmative answer can be given, and such answer should be given emphatically. The points to be remembered are these: Authority is the buttress of the school; but other motives than that of mere obedience to authority may and should be used. When other motives fail recourse should be had to obedience, to the study of subject-matter merely because it is prescribed by the school authorities.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a novel outlook on teaching, positing that it entails helping learners appreciate and govern the values that give life meaning. It proposes the term "values" as an umbrella term encapsulating virtues, instincts, needs, and interests and asserts that all values underpin human behavior. The author argues that teaching should focus on three interrelated elements: subject matter, the repository of existing strategies to control values; motive, the impetus that drives students toward specific actions; and development, the process by which learners gain control over values and refine their understanding of them. Thoughtfully grounded in history, psychology, and real-world classrooms, this book offers a fresh perspective on the field of education and provides invaluable insights into effective teaching practices.
