{ "item_title" : "Education as a Science", "item_author" : [" Alexander Bain "], "item_description" : "Education as a Science is a book written by Alexander Bain, a Scottish philosopher and educationalist, first published in 1879. The book explores the concept of education as a scientific discipline, drawing on the ideas of leading thinkers of the time, such as John Stuart Mill and Herbert Spencer. Bain argues that education should be approached as a science, with a focus on observation, experimentation, and the collection of empirical data. He also emphasizes the importance of individualized instruction and the need for teachers to understand the unique needs and abilities of each student. The book covers a wide range of topics related to education, including the role of memory and attention in learning, the importance of discipline and motivation, and the relationship between education and social progress. Overall, Education as a Science is a seminal work in the field of education, providing valuable insights into the scientific approach to teaching and learning that continues to influence educational theory and practice today.1885. Alexander Bain, Scottish philosopher and educationalist, was an early proponent of scientific psychology. Along with his friend, John Stuart Mill, Bain was a major proponent of the British school of empiricism: a theory which based all knowledge on basic sensory experiences and not on introspection. Bain's philosophical and scientific writings were completed during his twenty years as a professor at Aberdeen. In this volume he surveys the Teaching Art, as far as possible, from a scientific point of view; which means, among other things, that the maxims of ordinary experience are tested and amended by bringing them under the best ascertained laws of the mind. I have devoted one long chapter to an account of the Intellect and the Emotions in their bearings on education. The remainder of the work is occupied with the several topics more specially connected with the subject.
