Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Study of Teaching: An Observation Record Book Teaching should be classified higher than as a craftsmanship, and yet this term is capable of suggesting a professional emulation which is wholesome. Workmanlike skill in the master tends strongly to excite ambitious admiration in his apprentice. To the learner of the teacher´s art there are deeper understandings to fathom and more delicate touches of skill to acquire than are known to the tradesman. And so there is good reason why the learning may be approached with a genuine respect for the attainment which it demands. One may very much oftener be moved to wonder, "How is it done?" when viewing the mastery with which the skilled teacher sets a child upon higher ground than when, under the hand of the artisan, material things are rounded into useful form. An art capable of enlisting the highest gifts is what the student approaches in his study of teaching. Attention is not to be centered in such a study upon mere mechanical performance. Controlling relationships and forces should be subjects of study rather than superficial processes and routine. These deeper aspects of teaching are approached in the observation room, after all, from the side of their concrete exemplification. Consideration of the psychological basis of teaching in the abstract has its values, but full realization of these values can come only through specific illustration and use. The desired responses of children in the school group cannot be understood sufficiently from the standpoint of the needs of the amateur teacher, until the school group has been made the subject of study. The physical fitness of children, their mentality, vivacity or sluggishness, fatigue or freshness, seating and posture, cleanliness, the homogeneity of the group-these and scores of other factors, varying almost momentarily, must be studied under the influences created in the schoolroom which are designed to produce change or growth. Then there are the varieties of subject-matter, the conditions of weather, of health, and of schoolroom furnishings and equipment, all of which affect so much the teacher´s work. Studies have to be made of the specific teaching situations in the different subjects of the curriculum, and account has to be taken of just how certain desired reactions are to be secured. All this means opportunity to clarify the student´s educational psychology; but this, let us bear in mind, is for the sake of his learning how to teach. It is a matter of showing how a sound educational regimen is constituted versus telling how. The student in his pursuit of observation studies may expect to gain respect for, as he gains experience in, a method which is scientifically penetrating and specific. The function of this type of training as a preventive of superficial teaching is obvious. The unguided observer, particularly if inexperienced, is naturally prone to take account of only general aspects of a piece of work. He will note only such things as: whether pupils give attention or not, whether the floor and windows are clean, whether pupils or teacher make mistakes as regards subject-matter, and the like.
