Principles of Teaching
<style type="text/css"> h3, p, li, td{ color:#20292f; font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif; } p, li, td{ font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; word-spacing:1px; line-height: 22px; } .justify{ text-align:justify; } .red{ color:#c71e17; } .blue{ color:#1f77b7; } .sky{ color:#1bc1e3; } </style> <p class="justify">The first principle of true teaching is that nothing can be taught. The teacher is not an instructor or task master, he or she is a helper and guide. His business is to suggest and not to impose. He does not actually train the pupils mind; he only shows him how to perfect his instruments of knowledge and helps and encourages in the process. He does not impart knowledge, he only shows him how to acquire knowledge for himself. He does not call forth the knowledge that is within; he only shows him where it lies and how it can be habituated to rise to the surface - child or man, boy or girl, there is only one sound principle of good teaching. The difference in age only serves to diminish or increase the help and guidance necessary; it does not change its nature.</p> <p class="justify">The second principle is simply that the mind must be consulted in its own growth. The idea of hammering the child into the shape desired by the parent or teacher is a barbarous and ignorant superstition. It is he himself who must be induced to expand in accordance with his own nature. Everyone has in him something divine, something his own, a chance of perfection and strength in however small a sphere which God offers him or her to take or refuse. The task is to find, develop and use it. The chief aim of education should be to help the growing soul to draw out that in itself which is best and make it perfect for a noble use.</p> <p class="justify">The third principle of education is to work from the near to the far, from that which is to that which shall be. The basis of man’s nature is almost always, in addition to the souls past, his heredity, his surroundings, his nationality, his country, the soil from which he draws his sustenance, the air which he breathes, the sights, sounds, habits to which he is accustomed. They mould him not the less powerfully because insensibly, and from that then we must begin If anything has to be brought in from outside, it must be offered, not forced on the mind.</p>
