LEARNING BY DOING

“No power of the mind is developed and trained except by fitting exercise. In order to secure such exercise, means and opportunities must be supplied. The senses can be trained by giving them something to do. The eye learns to see by seeing; the ear by hearing; and the other senses become skillful in their peculiar work by doing it…. It is the teacher’s business to give the proper instruction, direction, and guidance. So much being granted, the maxim of Comenius is true: ‘Let things that have to be done be learned by doing them.’” —Daniel Putnam, A Manual of Pedagogics, 1899, 162
