  • School of Education Science, Education and Social Vision of Five
    School of Education Science, Education and Social Vision of Five Nineteenth Century Headmasters David Theodore Bottomley This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy of Curtin University October 2018 DECLARATION ii ABSTRACT The study investigates how science was used by five nineteenth-century headmasters at a time when the Church of England fought to maintain its historical control of elementary education and its associated Grammar schools resisted attempts to include science in their elementary or secondary curricula; when long hours in mills precluded poor children from education; when class attitudes biased Government enquiries into education and industrial training. It was a time when belief in laissez- faire economics conflicted with the exercise of moral judgements. The headmasters viewed their students as individuals and sought to equip them with worldviews. Their curricula were inspired by their visions for society. They used science, scientific method and practical learning. They liberated subjects from traditional boundaries to provide students with comprehensive understanding of areas of knowledge. They emphasised student self-learning and provided the facilities for it. There were similarities in their radical objectives and methods. They effectively interacted with local communities. Their methods mostly did not survive their school tenures but offer challenging thoughts for science teaching today. Key words: Science education; social positioning; nineteenth century. iii DEDICATION I gratefully remember my parents’ deep contribution to my education. In loving memory of Mrs. Ellen Bottomley (née Foxcroft), 1881-1969 and Rev. William Bottomley, 1882-1966. iv PERSONAL INTEREST IN THIS RESEARCH This study connects me with my Lancashire and Yorkshire parents and grandparents.
