Maxims
of
Teaching
 Simple to complex
 Concrete to abstract
 Particular to general
 Known to unknown
 Whole to parts
 Psychological to logical
 Deduction to induction
 Induction to deduction
 Easy to difficult
 Analysis to synthesis
 easy part is taught at the beginning and then
the complex part is kept later.
 E.g. in a language,
simple sentences are taught then the complex
sentences.
 Concrete-- existing in material form
 Abstract --imagination.
 E.g. addition of 3 and 2 is 5.
 Concrete form- give 3 and 2 Pencils to
student then he can add them.
 Abstract form- in mind he can add.
 The study of particular facts leads the
children to frame general rules.
 E.g. plants and animals need light to grow.
 The children should be taught about which
they already have some knowledge.
 E.g. if a child knows addition and subtraction
sums of multiplication and division.
 teaching from the whole thing, and then
teach about various parts of that thing.
 E.g. teaching various parts of plants,
 to show them the whole plant or tree.
 So root, stem, trunk etc. can be taken after a
tree is shown to them.
 Childs education should be started
accordingly to his interests, needs, reactions
and mental make-up. At early age it is
difficult to use logic in the beginning.
 E.g. children’s books should have colorful
and attractive pictures, then any black and
white picture would be sufficient to explain
the point.
Various examples are given
Students come to one conclusion.
Deduction leads to induction.
 E.g. water takes the shape of the container in
which it is poured.
 In this maxim the law is given first an then
the examples are given.
 E.g. Newton's law of motion.
 Analysis involves taking a thing apart into its
elements. Synthesis is the complement of
analysis.
 Analysis makes the thing clear and broad
framework.
 Synthesis afterwards makes it definite and
fixed.
 E.g. children can break open parts of toy and
can assemble them later on.
