About this title

Synopsis

Educational methods have developed immensely since the 19th century when the author first put these principles to paper. This book concerns itself with understanding how the human mind functions and posits that true education results in both knowledge and mental development. The author argues that every child develops mentally in much the same way, and that education ought to be tailored to each child to foster the most effective learning. They suggest that imitating others only teaches children to mimic, while true education builds upon a child's own mental development through self-directed activity. The author argues that children learn best when they can see, touch, taste, and smell what they are learning about. This illustrated guide to teaching offers lessons to help instructors develop a curriculum that ensures a child develops a well-rounded education.
