- Summary:
- The New Educator's Library presents in a convenient form that is likely to appeal to many specialist teachers and others whose interest lies in a select few of the aspects of Education much of the subject matter of The Encyclopaedia and Dictionary of Education recently issued by the Publishers; in fact, the scheme is due in great measure to the suggestions of many readers of the latter work, pointing out the desirability of issuing in sectional form the authoritative contributions on the various subjects. It is hoped that these little books embodying, as they do, the results of research and experience of educationists and others of high distinction in their subjects, will serve a really useful purpose to teachers, to students, and to many others connected with or interested in educational matters. Part I is made up of 8 sections, which deal primarily with psychological and educational research topics, including experimental methods, statistics, and general psychological research goals. Part II is made up of 10 sections, which cover different aspects of child psychology and varying teaching methods in the instruction of children and adolescents.
