Book Description

Excerpt from Training in the Technique of Study Educational guidance as a means of securing adjustment to the individual differences of students. Recent scientific investigations have gone far in revealing the nature and the extent to which in dividual differences exist among the boys and girls enrolled in our high schools. Instead Of having to deal with a school population which is characterized by homogeneity of interests and purposes, we now realize that our students differ widely in these respects. Educational guidance represents our efforts to direct students in their educational career so that their choice of subjects will be more nearly compat ible with their individual interests and capacities. Adjustment through appropriate training in study procedures. Although significant increases in the efficiency Of our high schools will result undoubtedly from the reconstruction of the curriculum and from educational guidance, there is evidence to indicate that many students are materially handicapped in their efforts to learn because they have not been given appropriate training in the tech nique Of study. Instruction in the procedure of doing the tasks set by the school will doubtless result in an improvement in the achieve ments of these students and in a consequent decrease in the number of those who fail.
