Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Approach to the Synthetic, Study of Interest in Education The difficulty encountered in the attempt to isolate any educational topic for discussion has been reassuringly defined by Professor Dewey: "The issues are so interdependent that any one of them can be selected only at the risk of ignoring important considerations, or else of begging the question by bringing in the very problem under discussion in the guise of some other subject. Yet limits of time and space require that some one field be entered and occupied by itself... The difficulty is particularly great in the discussion of interest." Such being the case, it is necessary either to establish the most generally accepted limits of the field, or else to fix the bounds arbitrarily. To this end will be considered (1) the present occasion for investigation of the topic, (2) its aim,(3) the nature and range of previous investigations and sources, (4) the method of procedure, (5) the scope and definition of terms, and (6) the problems excluded from the discussion. 1. Appropriateness of the Topic. - Academic study of educational controls is probably more extensive at present than ever before in America, and attention to the by-products and methods of other sciences has done much to widen the approach, yet a comparison of the means employed to solve moot-points of theory in the United States with those of England, for example, will probably show the former to be more largely quantitative. This applies with equal force to problems of administration, supervision, and teaching. The quantitative approach is thoroughly justified by its results, by the necessity of dealing with large numbers, of substituting fact for opinion, and by many other arguments no less conclusive.
