The Project Method: The Use Of The Purposeful Act In The Educative Process (1918)

By Journal Sumo

The Project Method: The Use of the Purposeful Act in the Educative Process is a book written by William Heard Kilpatrick in 1918. This book is a pioneering work in the field of education and outlines a new approach to teaching and learning. The project method, as described in this book, involves engaging students in purposeful activities that are designed to help them learn new skills and knowledge.Kilpatrick argues that traditional methods of teaching, which rely on lectures and memorization, are not effective in helping students develop critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities. Instead, he proposes that educators should focus on creating projects that allow students to work collaboratively and engage with real-world problems.The book provides a detailed explanation of the project method and includes examples of projects that have been successfully implemented in schools. Kilpatrick emphasizes the importance of designing projects that are relevant to students' interests and that allow them to take ownership of their learning.The Project Method is a seminal work in the history of education and has had a significant impact on the way that educators approach teaching and learning. It is still widely read and discussed today, and its ideas continue to influence educational practice around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
