Methods of Instruction

Methods of Instruction.

Instruction in the Normal Department is given principally in the form of leetures, upon which are based discussions by the class of the points presented; the comparative maturity of mind shown by our students of advanced standing and their earnestness, render these discussions of the greatest value. They cover the practical as well as the theoretical side of pedagogy. A primary aim of all work in this department is the development of independent thought, and students are encouraged to advance frankly and freely their own opinions, even where differing materially from those ordinarily held. Incorrect views and crude opinions are rectified with comparative ease through such discussions.

Rosenkranz's "Pedagogics as a System," has been used with success as the basis of discussion in scientific pedagogy.

The following is a Synopsis of the work in Pedagogics. It will be observed that the work of the Senior Year is required of all candidates for graduation.
