The Teacher's Handbook of Psychology


Book Description

Excerpt from The Teacher's Handbook of Psychology: On the Basis of "Outlines of Psychology" The present edition has been carefully revised through out, largely re-written and enlarged. While seeking to preserve the original character of the book as an 7'mfr0 duction, I have felt it necessary - ih view of the fact that our best Training Colleges for Secondary Teachers are now making a serious study of psychology - to am plify somewhat and bring up to date the exposition of scientific principles. I have also touched on those recent developments of experimental psychology which have concerned themselves with the measurement of the sim pler mental processes, and which promise to have impor tant educational results by supplying accurate tests of children's abilities. The new branch of the science 'known as child-psychology has been more fully drawn upon, from the conviction that it is only when teachers have made a careful study of the spontaneous move ments of children's minds during the first years that they are likely to find their way readily to the minds of older children, which preserve many more survivals of the earlier mental characteristics than most of us are wont to suppose. The practical applications have pur posely been left in the form of general prescriptions, vi preface TO fourth edition.

Excerpt from book: END AND PROCESS OF EDUCATION 13 agenoies or means we can best hope to realise this end. Some knowledge of these agencies is involved in any practice of an art. But when the art is in its earlier and cruder stage, a merely practical or empirical knowledge of the modus operandi suffices. Thus, when among uncivilised tribes education consisted merely in training the hunter and fighter, a very little traditional knowledge was sufficient. But now that the art aims at a large many- sided result it needs the guidance of another and higher kind of knowledge, namely, scientific knowledge. Since every educator is concerned with maintaining the bodily health and vigour of his pupils, he will of course seek guidance from the science of physiology and its practical applications in hygiene. But in all the higher work of mental and moral training he must look to psychology. How Psychology Illumines Educational Work. This relation of psychology to education is so close and so apparent that in speaking of their work pedagogues have always introduced a sort of psychology, though like M. Jourdain they may have been quite unaware of the fact. A mythological kind of psychology peeps out in the old scholastic doctrine that boys are possessed by an evil spirit, to exorcise which the cane is the proper instrument. The teacher has done his best, too, to appropriate the later doctrine that the mind is a number of quite separate and isolated faculties, memory, imagination, will and the rest.1 The relation of psychology to education has been made growingly clear in modern writings on the subject, from those of Locke to those of Herbart and more recent thinkers. Psychology is indeed needed as a handmaid to Ethics in rendering clear the idea of our goal?of all that is comprised in a completely develop...

Human Behavior


Book Description

Excerpt from Human Behavior: A First Book in Psychology for Teachers The study of psychology has for a long time been looked upon as an essential phase of the professional preparation of the teacher. The following chapters represent an attempt to formulate psychological principles in terms of conduct or behavior. The authors believe that this "functional" point of view in psychology offers a helpful perspective upon the problems of classroom teaching, explaining many of the phenomena with which every teacher must deal, and which, unexplained, tend to irritate and confuse; and providing at least a few guiding principles that may be directly applied to the solution of troublesome problems in instruction and management. It is hoped that the book may prove useful to the large numbers of young men and young women who each year enter the service of the public schools. It has, indeed, been written with a distinct recognition of the immaturity and inexperience which these beginning teachers represent.
