Education for Democracy (Classic Reprint)

4.9/5 (22013 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Education for Democracy This book is divided into four parts: (1) Democracy as contrasted with autocracy in public institutions is the theme of the first part. Since the ideal of educational institutions should be in a large measure the same as that of a nation, teachers, in order to keep the ideal pure and to lead the youth toward a larger freedom, should seek to understand what is the intent of the nation. Incidentally an outline for teaching American and modem European history is also given. (2) The reader is then carried from administration in political institutions to administration in educational institutions. Is the latter too autocratic even for a democracy? Is there enough of cooperation between superintendents and teachers, between teachers and pupils, and between the school and the community? Many concrete illustrations are given to show how cooperation may become more effective and how it may be increased. (3) The third part treats of classroom instruction. What should be its aim? How nearly should that aim coincide with the national ideal and how far short has it fallen? Here again there are many examples given showing that aims and methods in classroom instruction have been improved through a saner cooperation and by the use of subject matter drawn more from the world around the school. (4) The fourth part contains aids for the teacher. In the great reconstruction to take place throughout the world as a result of the World War, the educational institutions will undoubtedly be affected.
