Arrows: Or The True Aim In Teaching And Study (1890) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781436781367)

Arrows: Or The True Aim In Teaching And Study is a book written by Addison Ballard in 1890. This book is a philosophical exploration of the purpose and methods of education. Ballard argues that the true aim of education is to teach students how to think critically and independently, rather than simply memorize facts and figures. He believes that this can be achieved through a focus on the development of the mind and character, rather than just the acquisition of knowledge. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the nature of education and its goals. The second part explores the methods that should be used to achieve these goals, including the role of the teacher and the importance of individualized instruction. The third and final part of the book discusses the practical applications of these ideas in the classroom.Throughout the book, Ballard emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to education that takes into account the needs and abilities of each individual student. He argues that education should be a collaborative process between the teacher and the student, rather than a one-way transmission of information.Overall, Arrows: Or The True Aim In Teaching And Study is a thought-provoking exploration of the purpose and methods of education that is still relevant today. It provides valuable insights into how educators can best prepare students for success in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
