Abstract | Pointing out that teachers and supervisors need to study, analyze, and synthesize diverse issues in the teaching of handwriting, this paper explores several relevant issues. The following issues are discussed: (1) whether handwriting ought to be taught as a separate subject; (2) the conflict between the behaviorism approach--which utilizes precise measurable objectives--and the humanistic approach--which emphasizes that students engage in decision-making to select objectives and learning activities; (3) experimentalism, or the belief that problematic situations in school must relate to life and living in society, as a philosophy of education; (4) the artist approach versus the technician approach to teaching handwriting; (5) self-evaluation versus teacher evaluation of handwriting; (6) the preplanned curriculum--with objectives, learning activities, and appraisal procedures developed by teachers and supervisors--versus the needs approach--which would emphasize diagnostic and remedial work as the involved student reveals specific errors; (7) rewarding proficiency in handwriting through verbal praise, external rewards, and the reward of learning itself; (8) using the word processor in the language arts curriculum; and (9) using a variety of activities to achieve educational objectives.
