| Summary |
"This volume has been prepared for the benefit of teachers in the elementary schools with the particular needs of the classroom in mind. The investigation and research underlying this valuable work cover a period of fifteen years or more, during which time the authors have patiently collected scientific data to support the position they take. They have assembled individual pupil records of the child's entire educational experience. These records cover the physical, mental, and spiritual growth of the child and from this body of information the writers have built up their theory of the application of psychology to teaching. During the many years in which the authors were making their study, they not only collected data about child growth and learning but at the same time they carefully observed classes of children and tried out their theory in the classroom. This articulation of theory and practice assures the teacher that the suggestions contained in the book will find useful application in the daily work. The Psychology of Elementary School Subjects will be welcomed by the supervisor who is seeking a solution of her problems as well as by teachers and students of elementary education. It will also be of great practical help to teachers in elementary schools"--Introduction. |

"The opening chapters are devoted to a consideration of the two central problems of educational psychology, that part of the science of psychology which is concerned with the growth and development of the individual, especially as this is conditioned by the school. The two major problems of educational psychology are concerned with individual differences and learning. In this text the authors have thought best to eliminate many topics which, although they are of interest and of value to the teacher, are generally treated in an introductory course in psychology"--Preface.
