Definite Results Observed, Is
Theory.
When you teacli a person to make a
table you do not first set him to planing
a board until he can plane perfectly, or
pound nails until he can drive them per
fectly; you give him lumber and tools,
and set him to making the table. Whether
or not the result is perfect, he is inter
ested in making it because he gets cer
tain definite results.
This is the principle on which the
project method of teaching is based, says
Professor Harl It. Douglass, of the school
of education.. The project method is
used in much of the work of the Univer
sity high school. The theory of this
method is that if a student has some
ting to do, and can see for himself that
lie is accomplishing definite results, he
will be really interested in his work. The
three principal characteristics of the
project, method, says Professor Douglass,
are: First, the project method consists
of a definite unit of work on the sub
ject in manual training, for example,
the making of a table, or in domestic
science, the making of a cake; that, is to
ay, having a definite goal toward which
to work.
Definite Goal Set.
The second characteristic is that the
project method secures on the part of
the pupil the feeling that lie is a co
manager in the project, for he helps in
planning the ways and means of accom
plishing his end. The third character
istic is that there is a definite goal
toward which pupils work, and by which
they can measure their progress.
“The project method is a method we
arc building on in the University high
school this year.” Professor Douglass
said. In many high schools there is a
lack of a strong motive or incentive for
doing a high type of work, he said, a
condition much more common today than
it was TO or 40 years ago. when only the
most ambitious went to higli school at
all. Now that everybody goes to high
sehool. students seem to lack ambition;
"thp project idea.” said Professor Doug
!' ss' 's au to secure a motive or
interest toward the producing of a high
grade of work from high school students.”
Study Method For History.
This method has been used with spe
cial success in the study of history. The
classes in Oriental history and in the
history of the northwest have worked
' out their courses by this method. No
texts have been used, and the pupils
made their own texts as they went along,
i They consulted all sorts of references,
and made maps and charts. Tu this kind
of work. Professor Douglass said, a
much higher type of work is done than
the ordinary, very little emphasis is
placed on grades, and there is very little
compulsion on the part of the instructor.
Projects have been worked out in the
studies of English composition. English
literature, dramatics and general science.
To the young student, a born researcher,
there projects fijrnish an interesting
goal toward which to work. Tu the study
of general science, the pupils have ex
amined such matters as the science of the
manufacture of gas. the making of bread,
and the application of scientific knowl
edge in the Eugene water system. Tn
English literature and dramatics the stu
■ dents have found projects in the drama
tization of a hit of literature. In Eng
lish composition, each piece of work is a
project in itself. A ninth grade reading
class has taken as its project, the study
of books having to do with immigration
and Americanization, and has used such
books as Mary Antin’s “Promised Land,”
and “The Making of An American,” by
Jacob Riis.
