Lessons in Psychology (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lessons in Psychology

Though it has not been customary to follow the plan of the lesson-unit in teaching above the grades, I have ventured to arrange my material according to it, since that material is for the most part elementary. And long experience has confirmed my Opinion that it is helpful in all work in the classroom to follow in Spirit, at least, each day the general plan Of the three steps of preparation, pre scutation, and application.

In using the lessons in the classroom teachers will find many of them as given too long for one day's work. A week is not too much time to spend in reaching, for example, the law of associations here developed in the first lesson. For the formulation of this law pupils will be interested to trace in class and outside many trains of association and to talk about them familiarly as they do about the facts of nature or mathematics. And in most of the subjects, indeed, pupils may spend profitably a much longer time than one lesson in watching, giving, and discussing their experience before they are led to generalize.
