Description
The Lancasterian System of Education: With Improvement is a book written by Joseph Lancaster and published in 1821. The book is a comprehensive guide to the educational system developed by Lancaster, which was based on the principles of mutual instruction and peer tutoring. The Lancasterian System was designed to provide education to large numbers of students at a low cost, and was widely adopted in the United States and Europe during the 19th century.The book begins with a detailed explanation of the principles of the Lancasterian System, including the use of monitors to teach and supervise groups of students, the use of rewards and punishments to motivate students, and the importance of discipline and order in the classroom. Lancaster also provides practical advice on how to implement the system, including instructions on how to train monitors and how to organize the classroom.In addition to describing the Lancasterian System, the book also includes a number of improvements and modifications that Lancaster had developed since the system was first introduced. These improvements include the use of slates and blackboards for teaching, the introduction of a system of written examinations, and the use of a standardized curriculum.Overall, The Lancasterian System of Education: With Improvement is an important historical document that provides insight into the development of modern educational methods. It is a valuable resource for educators, historians, and anyone interested in the history of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
