The Doctrine Of Formal Discipline In The Light Of Experimental Investigation

The Doctrine Of Formal Discipline In The Light Of Experimental Investigation is a book written by Nellie P. Hewins. The book explores the concept of formal discipline, which refers to the idea that the study of certain subjects, such as Latin or mathematics, can improve a person's overall mental abilities and intelligence. Hewins examines the historical roots of the doctrine and its prevalence in educational theory. She also presents a critical analysis of the doctrine, arguing that there is little empirical evidence to support the idea that studying specific subjects can lead to a general improvement in cognitive abilities. The book draws on experimental research in psychology and education to provide evidence for its arguments. Hewins also discusses alternative theories of learning and intelligence, such as the idea of multiple intelligences. Overall, The Doctrine Of Formal Discipline In The Light Of Experimental Investigation provides a comprehensive and critical examination of the concept of formal discipline and its place in educational theory. It is a valuable resource for educators, psychologists, and anyone interested in the nature of learning and intelligence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
