Education, Scientific and Technical: Or How the Inductive Sciences Are Taught and How They Ought to Be Taught (1881)

Education, Scientific and Technical: Or How the Inductive Sciences are Taught and How They Ought to be Taught is a book written by Robert Galloway and published in 1881. The book is primarily concerned with the teaching of the inductive sciences, which include fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Galloway argues that the traditional approach to teaching these subjects, which involves rote memorization and repetition, is ineffective and outdated. Instead, he advocates for a more hands-on, experiential approach that emphasizes observation, experimentation, and critical thinking. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of scientific education. Galloway discusses the role of the teacher, the importance of laboratory work, and the need for a comprehensive understanding of scientific principles. He also offers practical advice on how to design experiments and conduct research, as well as how to evaluate student progress and adjust teaching methods accordingly. Overall, Education, Scientific and Technical is a groundbreaking work that helped to shape modern approaches to scientific education. Its emphasis on experiential learning and critical thinking continues to influence educators and students today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
