A Syllabus And Bibliography Of Child Study PDF Download

Excerpt from The Study of the Behavior of an Individual Child: Syllabus and Bibliography This Syllabus is the outgrowth of attempts to direct prospective teachers in classes in Education to understand child life in the city. In doing this work it has been found more effective to study individual cases rather than the child as a type or children in general. As soon as a young woman has assumed responsibility for the study and care of an individual child she has sought for general material and for advice to help her understand her problem. The fundamental assumption underlying the course is that the child is like other living creatures. Placed under the artificial environment of the city he is handicapped in many respects and it is the business of education to remove such handicaps so far as possible. In order to do this, it is necessary to understand the child's life in detail and to see the kind of conditions essential for his proper growth. No attempts at completeness have been made in either the Syllabus or the Bibliography. The object has been to suggest lines of study for persons who are not expert investigators but who are to become teachers of the young. The books and references given are such as are available to beginning students. In offering the work to the public the author hopes that it may serve to ameliorate the lot of children in the city.
