ibed method is prescribed. He begins to
appreciate the possibilities and benefits of standardized teaching.
The method laid down under Scientific Management is devised to
further the forming of an accurate accumulation of concepts, which
results in a proper method of attack. The method of instruction
under Scientific Management is devised to furnish two things:
1. A collection of knowledge relating in its entirety to the
future work of the learner.
2. A definite procedure, that will enable the learner to
apply the same process to acquiring knowledge of other subjects
in the most economical and efficient way.
It teaches the learner to be observant of details, which is the
surest method for further development of general truths and
concepts.
The method of attack of the methods provided for in Scientific
Management results, naturally, in a comparison of true data. This is
the most efficient method of causing the learner to think for
himself.
Processes differing but little, apparently, give vastly
different results, and the trained habits of observation quickly
analyze and determine wherein the one process is more efficient than
the other.
This result is, of course, the one most desired for causing
quick and intelligent learning.
The most valuable education is that which enables the learner to
make correct judgments. The teaching under Scientific Management
leads to the acquisition of such judgment, plus an all-around sense
training, a training in habits of work, and a progressive
development.
A partial topic list of the results may make more clear their
importance.
1. Worker better trained for all work.
2. Habits of correct thinking instilled.
3. Preparedness provided for.
4. Productive and repetitive powers increased.
5. Sense powers increased.
6. Habits of proper reaction established.
7. "Guided original work" established.
8. System of waste elimination provided.
9. Method of attack taught.
10. Brain fully developed.
11. "Standard response" developed.
12. Opportunities and demands for "thinking"
provided.
13. Self-reliance developed.
14. Love of truth fostered.
15. Moral sentiment developed.
16. Resultant happiness of worker.
