On the Child-Center Curriculum and Education

Abstract

It is very good that child-center-education is asserted today. But, I fear, Man think following: child must study subject, in the same way man says that there is a mount, because man climbs it. We may take as perhaps the most general object of education that it cultivate child's ability for living. Child must learn the basic idea and attitude for science, if he should learn it for better living-power in his life. The living-power have the layers-structure, so child does not develop straight, plane. Therefore, teacher must make a study of the subject and material with child-living-power. That is, the making a study of the subject and the material is very important in teacher. I hope, child make study the material, so he make learn by the material.
