Educational Values (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore how education shapes habits, character, and practical skills. This book analyzes the functions of schooling and how it influences a child’s development, from reading readiness to moral and social growth. It connects ideas from psychology, philosophy, and everyday classroom life to explain what makes learning stick and why certain subjects matter in the long run.

Through concrete discussion of training within the elementary and secondary years, the author examines why teachers focus on habit formation, the value of activities like arithmetic, drawing, and manual training, and how conventional manners and morals become part of a student’s character. The work also looks at how language study and other subjects prepare learners for future tasks, both practical and civic.

• How habits formed in school carry into later life and the limits of their transfer.


• The utilitarian and preparatory values of subjects such as arithmetic, drawing, and manual training.


• The roles of language, etiquette, and social norms in education.


• Strategies for shaping automatic, virtue‑based responses in students.

Ideal for educators, student teachers, and readers interested in the aims and effects of education.
