Froebel - • German educator (1782-1852) created the kindergarten— literally,
"children's garden"—a school for early childhood education.
• His first kindergarten, founded in 1837 at Blankenburg, was a permissive learning
environment that featured games, play, songs, stories, and crafts.
• The kindergarten's activities, now a standard part of early childhood education,
stimulated children's imaginations and introduced them to their culture's folk heroes and
heroines and values through songs and stories. Play, especially games, socialized
children in group activities and developed their physical and motor skills.
• The kindergarten's activities, now a standard part of early childhood education,
stimulated children's imaginations and introduced them to their culture's folk heroes and
heroines and values through songs and stories. Play, especially games, socialized
children in group activities and developed their physical and motor skills.
• Philosophically an idealist, like Plato, believed an inherent spirituality was at the core
of human nature
• He believed that every child possesses an innate interior spiritual essence, a power,
striving to be externalized. Froebel designed his kindergarten as an educational
environment in which children could actualize their inherent but latent spirituality through
activity.
• A nationalist, he believed that the people of each country, including his native
Germany, shared a common folk spirit that was manifested in the nation's stories,
songs, and fables. Thus, storytelling and singing were important in the kindergarten.
Herbart - (1776-1841), a German professor of philosophy and psychology, devised an
educational method that systematized instruction and encouraged students' moral
development.
, • In particular, he used history and literature to construct networks of ideas in students'
minds.
• Herbart defined interest as a person's ability to focus on and retain an idea in
consciousness.
• He reasoned that a large mass or network of ideas would generate a great number of
interests. Ideas related to each other formed a network, or what he termed an
"apperceptive mass," in the mind.
• Concerned with students' character education, Herbart emphasized the humanities,
especially history and literature as rich sources of moral values.
• Was influential in bringing history and literature into the secondary-school curriculum
at a time when it was dominated by the classical Greek and Latin languages.
Herbart - Seeking to systematize teaching, __________ structured instruction into a
precise sequence of five steps:
1. Preparation, in which teachers encourage readiness in students to receive the new
concept or material they are planning to introduce
2. Presentation, in which teachers clearly identify and present the new concept FOCUS
3. Association, in which the new concept is compared and contrasted with ideas that
students already know
4. Generalization, in which a principle is formed that combines the new and previous
learning
5. Application, in which appropriate examinations and exercises assess whether
students have mastered and learned the new principle
This method is especially relevant to the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) guide- lines that
time spent on instruction should be efficient and effective and that students should be
tested to assess the degree to which they have mastered skills and subjects
Thomas Jefferson - (1743-1826), author of the Declaration of Independence and the
third president of the United States, expressed his educational philosophy in his "Bill for
the More General Diffusion of Knowledge
• principal founder of the University of Virginia.
