Education by Doing: Or Occupations and Busy Work, for Primary Classes (1884)

""Education By Doing: Or Occupations And Busy Work, For Primary Classes"" is a book written by Anna Johnson in 1884. The book is a guide for primary school teachers on how to incorporate hands-on activities and practical tasks into their teaching methods. Johnson believes that children learn best by doing, and that the traditional method of rote learning is not effective for young learners. The book contains a variety of activities and tasks that are designed to engage children and help them develop their cognitive, social, and motor skills. The activities range from simple tasks like drawing and coloring to more complex tasks like sewing and woodworking. Each activity is explained in detail, with step-by-step instructions and illustrations to guide teachers through the process. The book also includes advice on how to set up a classroom for hands-on learning, how to manage time effectively, and how to assess student progress. Johnson emphasizes the importance of creating a positive and supportive learning environment, where children are encouraged to explore and experiment without fear of failure. Overall, ""Education By Doing"" is a pioneering work in the field of primary education, advocating for a more child-centered approach to teaching that is still relevant today. It is a valuable resource for teachers, parents, and anyone interested in the theory and practice of hands-on learning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
