Excerpt from General Methods of Teaching, in Elementary Schools, Including the Kindergarten
Readers. - This book has been prepared for use in normal schools, kindergarten training schools, and teachers' reading circles. Hence it has been made quite elementary in content and adapted to the understanding of freshman and sophomore students of approximately eighteen to twenty years of age.
Origin. - The work is the outcome of some fifteen years' experience by the author in teaching students of this type - five years in the State Normal College at Oxford, Ohio, and the rest in The University of Chicago. In the latter institution many of the students have been preparing for unified kindergarten-primary teaching.
Scope. - By limiting the illustrations in this volume to teaching in elementary schools it has been possible to make the discussion quite concrete. While the general principles presented apply equally well to high schools, teachers in the latter will find the author's "Methods of Teaching in High Schools" (Ginn and Company, 1915) and his Exercises for "Methods of Teaching in High Schools" (1918) more suggestive than the present volume.
Continuation. - Further chapters, dealing with the training of pupils in writing, spelling, reading, arithmetic, understanding social life, problem solving, communicating ideas, enjoyment, and moral behavior, are contained in the author's "Types of Elementary Teaching and Learning" (Ginn and Company).
