Review of Qualities Related to Success in Teaching

Abstract

Reviews the book, Qualities Related to Success in Teaching by Fredrick B. Knight. When and why is a teacher a successful teacher? Many attempts have been made to answer this question in terms of such general categories as personality, poise, physical qualities, mental qualities, moral qualities, disciplinary skill, instructional skill, etc. The study here under discussion represents a contribution to scientific education in that it gives results and particularly an improved method of attack on this problem. Doubtless the future will see a scientifically accurate and serviceable measure of teaching ability. The results and methods of such studies as this point the way to the solution of the problem.
