Education: Its Data And First Principles (1920)

Education: Its Data and First Principles is a book written by Thomas Percy Nunn in 1920. The book is an exploration of the fundamental principles of education and the data that supports these principles. Nunn argues that education should be based on scientific principles and that educators must understand the psychological and physiological processes involved in learning. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the data that supports the principles of education, including the role of the senses, memory, and attention in learning. Nunn also discusses the importance of motivation and the impact of emotions on learning. The second part of the book focuses on the first principles of education, including the importance of individual differences and the need for a broad and comprehensive curriculum. Nunn argues that education should not only focus on the acquisition of knowledge but also on the development of character and the cultivation of moral values. Overall, Education: Its Data and First Principles is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the principles of education. Nunn's emphasis on the importance of scientific principles and individual differences continues to be relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for educators and anyone interested in the field 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.
