Ed Claparède epub Experimental Pedagogy and the Psychology of the Child (Classic Reprint)

This new edition differs from preceding editions by many alterations :the Historical Sketch is included for the first time, Chapters II., III., and V. have been completed and more or less remodelled ;on the other hand, the chapter on Mental Development has been but little changed. The volume as a whole has been increased by nearly 200 pages, and the authors quoted now number 630 as against 250. In some of the reviews of this work, regret has been expressed that it did not contain more practical advice for the pedagogue. But my aim in writing the book was not to compile a manual of pedagogy ;I simply wished to introduce the educator to psychological science, and particularly to the psychology of the child. The first steps taken in learning a new science are always tiresome and difficult: time is lost in finding ones bearings, in understanding what exactly is the aim of the science, in discovering the problems which it tries to solve ;therefore a guide is often very valuable. To be such a guide is the function of this book, at least a guide to the study of those problems which are here treated.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
