Techniques of Teaching, Volume Two: Secondary Education focuses on the methods, practices, techniques, and approaches involved in secondary education from the British standpoint. The selection first elaborates on the teaching of mathematics, languages, and science. Discussions focus on aids to science teaching, modern types of science curriculum, planning of science teaching, vocabulary and grammar, reading and oral skills, changes in teaching techniques, and the tradition of good mathematics teaching. The book then examines the teaching of history and geography, as well as changes in syllabus, special methods, substitutes for teachers, traditional methods, and meeting deficiencies of material and staff. The publication examines the teaching of religion and morals, including the function of literature in moral education, religious education in childhood, infancy and early childhood, growth of religious and moral insight, and religious and moral education in later childhood. The selection is a vital reference for educators and students interested in the techniques involved in secondary education.
