Methods of Teaching: Their Basis and Statement Developed From a Functional Standpoint, Revised and Enlarged (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
How to shape lessons around what students already know and how they grow
This book argues that teaching should start with the pupil’s own experience. It explains how each subject has its own kind of “capital” a learner brings to class, and how new material gains meaning only through the learner’s reorganizing of that experience. It also contrasts a teacher-centered plan with a student-centered view, stressing the importance of understanding what the pupil’s mind actually contains.
Two short paragraphs frame the value: it guides teachers to focus on the subject-matter inside the learner’s mind, not just the logically arranged textbook. It also traces how subject-matter develops over time, both in human history and in each child’s growing understanding, to support more empathetic and effective teaching.- Grasp how a pupil’s existing knowledge shapes new learning and how to build on it.
- Apply a psychology-grounded approach to organizing and presenting material.
- Explore historical growth of subject-matter to better match student development.
- Use practical exercises and discussion prompts to refine lesson planning.

Methods of Teaching (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a novel outlook on teaching, positing that it entails helping learners appreciate and govern the values that give life meaning. It proposes the term "values" as an umbrella term encapsulating virtues, instincts, needs, and interests and asserts that all values underpin human behavior. The author argues that teaching should focus on three interrelated elements: subject matter, the repository of existing strategies to control values; motive, the impetus that drives students toward specific actions; and development, the process by which learners gain control over values and refine their understanding of them. Thoughtfully grounded in history, psychology, and real-world classrooms, this book offers a fresh perspective on the field of education and provides invaluable insights into effective teaching practices.
