| Summary: | "This book is intended to serve as the basic text for a laboratory course introductory to teaching. Its twofold purpose is (1) to give the teacher-to-be a comprehensive view of modem educational theory and practice and (2) so to orient her in the profession that she may make intelligent choice of a field for specialization. Significant contributions of biology, psychology, and sociology to modem educational practice are set forth in the first four chapters. The fifth chapter presents the curriculum as the outgrowth of sociological, psychological, and biological considerations. Administrators, supervisors, and teachers put the curriculum into effect; their respective responsibilities are considered in the next two chapters. Following, in Chapters VIII to XII, comes a discussion of the technique whereby the teacher effects in the pupils the changes contemplated in the curriculum. Chapter XIII considers the opportunities and requirements in each of the major fields of initial teaching service; and the concluding chapter, the fourteenth, presents, from the superintendent's point of view, some attainable ideals"--Preface.
