The College Course in the Principles of Education (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The College Course in the Principles of Education offers a clear look at how college study can unite theory and practice to strengthen teaching and educational work.

This work argues that education must be understood from multiple perspectives—biological, sociological, psychological, and ethical—while maintaining a firm scientific approach. It outlines how a college course can help students grasp the unity of educational aims, the role of the university in elevating teaching as a profession, and the path from ideas to informed practice. The discussion also foregrounds the idea that education lives in a social world, shaped by both individual development and communal needs, and encourages careful, critical study of what education should be and how to teach it.

• How education sits at the intersection of science, philosophy, and social purpose


• Ways to distinguish growth, development, and the stages of experience


• What “principles” mean in practice and how they evolve through study and reflection


• How educators can balance theory with practical application and contribute to educational policy

Ideal for students preparing for teaching careers, future educators exploring the field, and anyone interested in the aims and methods of education as a social enterprise.
