Publisher's Synopsis
Inductive Versus Deductive Methods of Teaching: An Experimental Research is a book written by William Henry Winch, first published in 1913. The book is an exploration of two primary methods of teaching: inductive and deductive. Winch presents the results of an experimental study that he conducted to compare the effectiveness of these two methods in teaching English grammar to students in secondary schools.The book begins with an introduction to the two methods of teaching and their respective strengths and weaknesses. Winch then describes the design of his experiment, which involved two groups of students who were taught English grammar using either the inductive or deductive method. He provides detailed accounts of the lessons taught and the assessments given to the students.The results of the experiment are presented in detail, with statistical analysis of the data. Winch concludes that the inductive method is more effective than the deductive method in teaching English grammar to secondary school students. He provides explanations for why this may be the case and suggests ways in which teachers can incorporate the inductive method into their teaching practice.Overall, Inductive Versus Deductive Methods of Teaching: An Experimental Research is a seminal work in the field of education research. It provides a detailed examination of two important teaching methods and offers valuable insights into how teachers can improve their practice. The book is still relevant today and is essential reading for anyone interested in teaching and learning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
