The Project Method

The Project Method: The Use Of The Purposeful Act In The Educative Process (1918) is a non-fiction book written by William Heard Kilpatrick. The book explores the concept of project-based learning in education and how it can be used to enhance the learning process. Kilpatrick argues that traditional classroom learning is often ineffective because it is too focused on rote memorization and does not engage students in meaningful activities. He proposes the project method as a way to make learning more engaging and relevant by having students work on projects that are purposeful and meaningful to them. The book provides detailed explanations of how the project method works, including how to design projects, how to assess student learning, and how to integrate projects into the curriculum. Kilpatrick also discusses the benefits of project-based learning, such as increased motivation, improved critical thinking skills, and better retention of information. The Project Method: The Use Of The Purposeful Act In The Educative Process is a seminal work in the field of education and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
