Summary: Gall's core premise is that for teaching to be truly effective and for educational outcomes to improve, there must be a deep and practical understanding of the underlying philosophical principles. He argues that education, like any other science, must be built on a solid foundation of observed facts and sound principles, rather than mere conjecture or tradition. He criticizes the state of education in his time, viewing it as being in a "transition state" where the public is increasingly aware of its importance but still grappling with how to ensure its efficiency and permanence.
