Description

Excerpt from What Should Experimental Psychology Contribute to a Theory of Education?<br/><br/>As the term education has, in ordinary usage, two rather distinct meanings, so the theory of education may be said to have two distinct phases, as it emphasizes the one or the other of these meanings. In the first place, education may be said to refer to an end, more or less fully attained, to a result which has been accomplished, to a possession which has been secured, and so one speaks of a person's education as of something which he has. As this meaning of education is emphasized the theory of education deals largely with the ideal or complete man. In the second place, 'education may be said to refer to the process by which this result has been reached, and m this sense it becomes equivalent to the process of teaching and learning if we confine our attention to schools and their work. As this meaning of education is emphasized, the theory of education will, as a mat ter of course, deal largely with the process of teaching and learn ing and points of interest closely related to these.
