Excerpt from The Psychology of the Common Branches

In order to supervise the child's learning most effectively, it is necessary to know what mental changes take place in the different forms of learning which he undertakes. Merely to know the result which is aimed at is not sufficient important as this is. One can learn in a short time to distinguish between good and poor writing, between an adequate and an inadequate understanding of history or geography, or between different degrees of proficiency in the pursuit of a science. A clerk can correct examination papers in arithmetic or spelling. These forms of discrimina tion make up the art of the examiner. When carried to a high degree of perfectidii in the development of standard tests of attainment, this art becomes more difficult, and it becomes possible to use the results in directing the pupil's efforts. But in the main the art of the teacher is the far more delicate one of following the changes which take place in the mind of the pupil, and of bringing to bear his inﬂuence upon them to produce the highest degree of improvement with the least expenditure of effort. In order to understand the process which is going on in the child's mind when he learns the various branches, it is necessary to have a conception of the typical learning processes which are involved in these branches.

Excerpt from The Psychology of the Common Branches

The present volume is a very interesting as well as a very successful attempt to apply the knowledge which we have recently accumulated in the scientific applications of psychology to the concrete problems of instruction in the elementary school. It is neither a scientific treatise on psychology nor a book of special methods, though embracing something of the content of each. Instead, the present volume occupies a field lying between the two, being a presentation of the psychological principles underlying the most effective instruction in the commonly recognized subjects of the elementary-school curriculum.

Textbooks on general and even applied psychology almost of necessity deal with the fundamental principles and generalizations of the science, and the applications are usually so remote from the practical problems of the teacher that the application to classroom procedure is seldom made. On the other hand, our books on general and special methods, while often very helpful and suggestive in their way, tend nevertheless to confine their attention to schoolroom devices and certain general pedagogical principles, and do not serve to develop in the teacher any tendency to seek out or formulate the reasons for the special methods which are being followed.
