The Use of Motives in Teaching Morals and Religion Thomas Walton Galloway

The meaning of pedagogy. Pedagogy merely means the science of teaching. The word indicates that teaching human beings may be reduced to a science. This imphes that results are produced by definite causes in personality and character, just as in physics and chemistry and medicine. The idea is that in education one must know what results are desired and what elements he has to work with, before he can go inte Uigently about finding a method of work. All this means that the structure of human persona Uty is not lawless, but is definite and can be discovered by study. It means that character grows and matures in an orderly and natural, rather than in a haphazard, way. It suggests that we may, if we learn how personality grows, use the facts we have discovered about Hfe in such a way as to help insure that it will be sound and right.
