ABSTRACT
The quality of learning is always more important that the quantity. Learning-situations based on the Follow-the-Leader pattern treat the dull child as a drudge; this chapter suggest that the teacher of dull children should abandon the Follow-the-Leader pattern and search for other types of learning-situation that have greater educational value. It is to be noted that Puzzling-Through learning-situations are found to be more profitable in the learning of a bright child than in that of a dull one. Achievement, the initial organisation of experience, is the beginning of all learning. This achievement may come about immediately through direct insight, with or without demonstration, or it may come about gradually through indirect insight and the gradual piecing together of many small clues. A process of repetition without variation which produces a gradual diminution of conscious attention to the performance of the repeated act. This is the process of Improvement, a process that depends on repetition subsequent to Achievement.
