Publisher's Synopsis
The ""Manual Of Object-Teaching: With Illustrative Lessons In Methods And The Science Of Education"" is a book written by Norman Allison Calkins and first published in 1881. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of object-teaching, a method of education that emphasizes the use of tangible objects and real-life experiences to facilitate learning.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of object-teaching. The first section provides an overview of the method and its history, while the second section delves into the science of education and the psychological principles that underlie object-teaching.The third section of the book is perhaps the most practical, as it provides a series of illustrative lessons that demonstrate how object-teaching can be applied in the classroom. These lessons cover a wide range of subjects, from language and literature to science and mathematics.Throughout the book, Calkins emphasizes the importance of engaging students' senses and encouraging them to actively participate in the learning process. He also stresses the need for teachers to be creative and adaptable, tailoring their lessons to the individual needs and interests of their students.Overall, ""Manual Of Object-Teaching: With Illustrative Lessons In Methods And The Science Of Education"" is a valuable resource for educators and anyone interested in the history and theory of object-teaching.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
