Synopsis

This book explores the practice of instruction by discussing the relationship between the mind of the learner and the material to be learned, presenting psychological grounding for the teacher's role. The author begins by outlining the nature of consciousness, its constituents, and the way it functions through mental systems. The book goes on to build a case for the systematic nature of knowledge and the role of interest in the learning process. It examines the development of knowledge through differentiation, coordination, and concentration, concluding with an exploration of how to create learning correlations. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the mental processes involved in instruction and offers valuable insights into how to facilitate knowledge acquisition.

Product Description

Excerpt from The Practice of Instruction: A Manual of Method General and Special

It is, in short, a statement of the general principles underlying the 'practical' Part II. Which follows it. Here more particularly is a territory common to primary and to secondary schools of all grades.
