This book analyzes the problems and methods of teaching, proposing a functional approach that prioritizes the role of subject matter in satisfying needs and solving problems to develop control over values. It distinguishes between the social and individual aspects of educational aims, and argues that teaching should focus on helping students appreciate and gain control of the values they encounter in life. By viewing subject matter as a way of acting that originates from the need to control situations, the author emphasizes its role in reorganizing experience to gain such control. The book discusses the intrinsic and indirect functions of subject matter, highlighting its disciplinary, preparatory, and ornamental values. It also explores the different perspectives of the author, teacher, and student on the function of subject matter, emphasizing the need to consider the conscious aims and motivations of students in effective teaching. Ultimately, the book aims to provide a framework for understanding the significance and application of subject matter in fostering students' control over values and empowering them to navigate the challenges of life.
