ABSTRACT
In spite of psychology being a new and underdeveloped science which, for many reasons, often cannot be instantly applied by teachers, it nevertheless forms part of all initial courses of teacher training. The student teacher learns not only of psychological findings but addition ally of how those findings are made and the relevance of psychology to the increasingly difficult task of teaching. Presumably the learning of psychology is to help the teacher to construct his curriculum and to facilitate the faster attainment of objectives by even slow-learning pupils, while at the same time helping him to avoid to some extent the teaching mistakes of the past.
