The Project Method - William Heard Kilpatrick - Bog

The Project Method: The Use Of The Purposeful Act In The Educative Process is a book written by William Heard Kilpatrick and originally published in 1918. The book presents a new approach to education known as the project method, which emphasizes the use of purposeful and real-life activities to engage students in the learning process. Kilpatrick argues that traditional methods of education, which rely on memorization and repetition, are outdated and ineffective. Instead, he proposes that students should be given projects that are relevant to their interests and that require them to apply their knowledge in practical ways. The book provides numerous examples of projects that can be used in various subjects, such as science, history, and literature. Kilpatrick also discusses the role of the teacher in the project method, emphasizing the importance of guiding students rather than simply lecturing to them. Overall, The Project Method is an influential book that has had a significant impact on modern educational theory and practice. Its emphasis on active and engaged learning continues to be relevant today, and it remains a valuable resource for educators seeking to improve their teaching methods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
