Education As Growth Or The Culture Of Character: A Book For Teachers' Reading Circles, Normal Classes And Individual Teachers

By Lewis Henry Jones

Book Overview

Education as Growth or The Culture of Character is a comprehensive book written by Lewis Henry Jones, aimed at teachers' reading circles, normal classes, and individual teachers. The book explores the concept of education as a tool for personal growth and character development, rather than just the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Jones argues that education should focus on the development of the whole person, including their intellectual, emotional, and moral capacities. He suggests that teachers should prioritize the cultivation of positive character traits, such as honesty, responsibility, and empathy, in their students. The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides an overview of the philosophy of education and the importance of character development in the classroom. The second section focuses on specific character traits and how they can be nurtured in students. The final section offers practical advice for teachers on how to implement these ideas in their classrooms.Throughout the book, Jones emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive and nurturing learning environment, where students feel valued and respected. He also stresses the need for teachers to be role models for their students, demonstrating the positive character traits they hope to instill in their students.Overall, Education as Growth or The Culture of Character is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges traditional notions of education and offers practical guidance for teachers looking to create a more holistic and meaningful learning experience for their students.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
