DOWNLOAD EBOOKJohn Locke is one of the great minds in educational history. Drawing on his perceptive observations of families and children he saw the importance of adapting learning to the child's dispositions. Critical of schools, he is the fountainhead of home tutoring, child-centred learning, and the importance of enjoyable learning. But for Locke learning was not about facts: a good education produced gentlemen who could in turn adapt themselves to commerce and politics. Locke's philosophy helped provide rigour to the scientific revolution, the impetus for the expansion of schools for the poor (which should be profitable) and child psychology. Alexander Mosely sets Locke's educational writings in their context with a sensitive reading of what Locke understood by 'education' and highlights the relevance of the study of Locke's work to our understanding of education today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Educational Writings of John Locke Throughout the seventeenth century the schools con tinned to lose their hold upon the socially distinguished class, and the process was accelerated as the studies and manners of school-boys departed more widely from its social ideals. The schools imparted learning, and learning was something Of a trade, unsuitable to men Of position or Of affluence. Referring to her son, Colin, a Westminster boy, Lady Caithness writes, in 1692 Som says the 80001 he is at is mo proper for to breed up youths for Church men than any other station; I supos my sons inclination will not be for that post. 2 Owners of great estates frequently educated their sons at home under a private tutor and the fashion spread amongst country gentlemen. Fielding's Squire Western in Tom Jones (1749) embodies the failure Of the system; contemporary evidence shows the failure was not nu common. But its success produced the accomplished virtuoso and man Of the world, whose powers had been stimulated and strengthened by a residence of two or three years in one of the Inns Of Court, where he found access to good society, the sojourn in London being followed by a prolonged tour in France and Italy.
