Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education and World Citizenship: An Essay Towards a Science of Education The object of the enquiry described in this book is stated on the title-page and further explained in the opening chapter. It is to attempt, in the light of modern knowledge of physiological psychology, to formulate, however tentatively, a few simple and general principles of education, and so to take a further step towards a science of education. The need, and even the duty, of making this attempt became more and more impressed upon me during eight years of work for the Board of Education and eight following years of work for education in the North of England...The enquiry has been in progress for most of this latter period, and many of the conclusions reached have been applied in practice by the university and the college of which I was then a member. Some of these results have formed the subject of lectures, addresses and papers that have already been printed. The present volume, of which the first draft was finished in July, 1919, is divided into three ´Books.´ Book I is introductory and historical. Book II is concerned with the aim of education. It is summarised in Chapter 19 which the reader is advised to look at before beginning this section of the work. There should then be no difficulty in following the argument; for, although mathematical analysis has not been wholly dispensed with, its use has been confined to footnotes and appendices which the non-mathematical reader may neglect. In the course of Book II, I was brought face to face with several philosophical issues. These I deliberately abstained from avoiding. I am consequently prepared to find that, here especially, many of the positions I have taken up may prove to be provisional only....The investigations described in Book II, and especially in Chapter 17, first made me realise that a perfect system of education must be world-wide; or, at least, that, in the interests of human progress, the ultimate aim of education should be the same the world over. So it is that world citizenship appears upon the title-page. Book III treats of a system of education designed to achieve the aim set forth in Book II.
