About this title

Synopsis

""A Comparative Study of the Play Activities of Adult Savages and Civilized Children: An Investigation of the Scientific Basis of Education"" is a book written by Lilla Estelle Appleton and published in 1910. The book is a comparative study of the play activities of adult savages and civilized children, with the aim of investigating the scientific basis of education. Appleton explores the play activities of various indigenous groups, such as the Eskimos, the Australian aborigines, and the Native Americans, and compares them to the play activities of children in Western societies. She argues that the play activities of these indigenous groups are more closely aligned with the natural instincts of human beings, and that Western societies have lost touch with these instincts due to industrialization and modernization.The book also examines the role of play in education, and argues that play should be an integral part of the educational process. Appleton suggests that play allows children to explore and develop their natural instincts, and that it can be used as a tool for teaching important life skills, such as cooperation and problem-solving.Overall, ""A Comparative Study of the Play Activities of Adult Savages and Civilized Children"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of play in education and the ways in which different cultures approach play. It provides valuable insights into the importance of play in human development and offers a fresh perspective on the scientific basis of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
