Synopsis

This book is a practical guide for secondary school teachers that emphasizes general methods of instruction as they apply to high schools. It addresses key questions like the teacher's role, managing student discipline, creating a productive classroom environment, and testing students' knowledge. The author suggests approaches for direct and indirect control to maintain discipline in the classroom and considers important maxims of discipline and punishment. Recognizing the importance of economy in teaching, the book explores efficient methods of drill, the role of testing, and adding new knowledge through oral and book instruction. It also discusses the significance of illustration and demonstration, as well as how to stimulate the pupil to think through inductive and deductive development lessons. The author emphasizes the importance of lesson planning, considering its essential elements of aim, method, and result. Underlying all of these discussions is the belief that teaching should be as practical as it is cultural and disciplinary.
