Project Gutenberg 1999-08-01 Public domain in the USA. 382 Ascham, Roger 1515 1568 The Scholemaster The Schoolmaster HTML Produced by Judy Boss "The Scholemaster" by Roger Ascham is a historical treatise on education written during the late 16th century. The book discusses the principles and methodologies of teaching Latin, primarily aimed at educating young gentlemen and noble youths in a private setting. Ascham emphasizes the importance of proper pedagogy, advocating for a nurturing and encouraging approach to learning rather than one based on fear and punishment. At the start of "The Scholemaster," the author presents a narrative framework in which he recalls a significant discussion among prominent scholars and advisors during a royal dinner at Queen Elizabeth I's court. Through their conversation, Ascham articulates the belief that harsh disciplinary methods often lead children to despise learning. He reflects on his own educational experiences and explores the characteristics of effective teachers and students, arguing for a learning environment that fosters love for knowledge over fear of punishment. This opening sets the stage for his elaborate exploration of teaching methods throughout the text. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 66.7 (8th & 9th grade).
