PRINCIPLE OF UTILITY

• T.P.Nunn, believes that principle of utility is the

most important principle underlying the formation
of a curriculum.
• “While the plain man generally likes his children to
pick up some scarps of useless learning or purely
decorative purposes, he requires, on the whole, that
they shall be taught what will be useful to them in
later life and he is inclined to give ‘useful’ a rather
strict interpretation.”
TRAINING IN THE PROPER PATTERN OF CONDUCT

• Crow and crow: the construction of a curriculum is

that through education the educand should be able to
adopt the patterns of behaviour proper to different
circumstances.
• Man is a social animal who has to constantly adapt
himself to social environment.
• Therefore, education must aim at developing all
those qualities in the educand which will facilitate
this adaptation to the social milieu.
 SYNTHESIS OF PLAY AND WORK
• Its modern technique of education.
• Try to educate through work or through
play.
• Curriculum should aim at achieving a
balance between play and work.
• The wok given to the educand should
be performed in such manner that the
child may believe it to be play.
• There is difference between work and
play.
SYNTHESIS OF PLAY AND WORK
T.P.Nunn, “The school should be through of not as a knowledge
monger’s shop but a place where the young are disciplined in
certain forms of activity. All subject should be thought in the
“play way”, care being taken that the “way” leads continuously
from the irresponsible frolic of childhood to the disciplined
labors of manhood”.
