Interest And Effort In Education (1913)

Interest and Effort in Education is a book written by John Dewey, an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer. Published in 1913, the book explores the relationship between interest and effort in the context of education. Dewey argues that interest is a key factor in successful learning, as it motivates students to engage with the subject matter and invest effort in their studies. He also discusses the importance of teachers in fostering interest and creating a stimulating learning environment. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the topic. Part one provides an overview of the relationship between interest and effort, while part two discusses the role of the teacher in stimulating interest. Part three examines the nature of interest itself, and part four looks at the practical implications of Dewey's ideas for education. Interest and Effort in Education is considered a classic work in the field of educational philosophy and has had a significant impact on the development of modern educational theory and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
