Psychology for Teachers: With Suggestions on Method for Use in High Schools and Teachers Institutes

Excerpt from Psychology for Teachers: With Suggestions on Method for Use in High Schools and Teachers Institutes

Only the essential truths of Psychology are treated in this manual. An effort has been made to present the fundamental truths of mental science in simple and concise language, and to illustrate their use in the practical work of the schoolroom. Psychology considered as a science, the object of profound research, is one thing; psychology as an educational instrument - psychology for teachers - is quite another thing. With the knotty details of the science the teacher in high schools has absolutely nothing to do.

Too many of the elementary text-books on this subject are very abstract, and wanting in illustrative matter that can be understood by the young teacher and the average high school pupil. No apology is needed for repeated efforts to impress important truths upon the teacher or for repeating in different phrases the central truths of the science. As sound methods of instruction are based upon the laws which govern the acquisition of knowledge, suggestions on method are presented in connection with the treatment of the most important subjects.
