Excerpt from The Project Method of Teaching
This book is devoted mainly to a critical discussion of the project method of teaching. The term project has only recently made its appearance in educational terminology, but the idea back of the project is not new. It is quite probable that skillful teachers have always used the essential features of the project method.
A survey of modern teaching methods in engineering, law, medicine, agriculture, as well as in the prescribed subjects of the school curriculum, shows that much effort is being expended to bridge the chasm between school tasks and activities outside the school. In other words, the project idea, as defined by the author, is attempted to some extent in all these fields.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the project method of teaching, an educational concept that places students at the center of their own learning through hands-on, problem-solving experiences. It examines the historical development of the project method and traces its applications across various disciplines, including engineering, law, medicine, agriculture, and language instruction. The author argues that the project method fosters motivation, encourages critical thinking, and promotes practical application of knowledge. It emphasizes the significance of problem-solving, reasoning, and action in the learning process, as opposed to rote memorization and information retention. By examining the project method in relation to established teaching concepts such as problem-solving, drills, and curriculum organization, the book provides educators with a comprehensive understanding of its strengths and limitations. It encourages readers to consider the implications of the project method for their own teaching practices and to explore its potential for enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes.
