Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the system of 'Object Teaching' â" an approach to learning that aligns with how young children naturally acquire knowledge through their senses. The author claims that current methods of instruction are often out of step with how the mind develops and how knowledge is gained in the real world. This text advocates for a return to 'Nature's system' of teaching, whereby children are presented with concrete objects and experiences, and then use those to grasp abstract words and concepts. The book's insights draw from various academic disciplines and historical sources. It illustrates diverse subject areas, including language, geography, and natural history. Ultimately, this book suggests that by aligning teaching methods with how the mind naturally learns, educators can unlock children's potential for comprehensive and lasting knowledge acquisition.
