A course on the history of education

Historical past is more than the research of the past, it also requires the research of modify and a continual over time. According to historian and lecturer Chris Stearns, “Only through understanding history can we understanding how things change; only through history can we begin to view the aspects that cause change; and only through history can we know what elements of an school or a world continue to persist despite modify.” Historical past training is an ideal choice for any college scholar who discovers they are always asking “why?” and then, once learning the answer, wants to share that knowledge and understanding with others. These days, history training is especially appropriate. Trained history instructors will play a huge role in helping furture years view the world around them – whether in terms of understanding the main causes of social or governmental issue or better admiring different social principles or pricing democratic organizations and beliefs.

Champion of the questioning of certain interpretations of Dees ‘new’, based on desire, plaisr, the game.His thought is characterized by Cartesian humanism. He is suspicious of all tyrannies and defends freedom of the individual against the seductions. He pacifist convictions.There is for him the need to open itself to the world. “Do not close the salvation of the spirit”.The aim of education is to discover humanity in itself.Education is an aid to the achievement of the individual, that is to say an expression of what exists potentially in him, the practice of decision and firmness of free behavior.

The child and Steiner

The pedagogy of Rudolf Steiner refers to knowledge of the child we are not necessarily habituelle.Sa perception of child development opens us to a world where a path is referred to human and spiritual, in which the child has histoire.Par the other hand, we see a parallel between the physical evolution and intellectual development.

This is an overall perception of the child where every dimension of its humanity in connection with others. For example, the appearance of teeth has implications for its apprentissages.C is a complex approach is done in small steps, like a initiation.Je Come share some findings about the child, characteristics and needs . I hope to be not only true to Steiner’s thought, but make you want to discover it.

Two books, among other things, I used to write what will suivre.Je make some connections with other teachers, when they seem obvious. Gradually, the child enters the real world, he built his “I” in stages, leaving this spiritual matrix that is somewhat small in its territory, to gradually confront the monde.Ceci not may well be that with the confidence he has for the adult and the construction of a quality environment that corresponds to it.It takes only what he needs and evolves mainly même.Il he does what he wants according to his own organisation.Ne are we not surprised sometimes by the pugnacity, the force with which a child wants or REFUSE! As if he felt that this does not suit him …

And who wins?

What we ask him he can do at this point? Inhabited by forces,-the latter term is reminiscent of reflections F. Fröbel in “Education of Man” – as the child grows a plant with the same growth system that we find in the nature.Par successive transformations.

We must therefore adopt this view the child grow.A preschool age child has the feeling of being inserted into a single sphere. A sphere of life, similar to that of his mother. Nothing exists outside this world of magic.It knows no divide between the outside world and inner world.R. Steiner tells us that the child is unable to differentiate between his inner world, human and the outside world. If it is in the grip of gloom, for example, or other feeling it assumes that the same thing happens in the sun, moon, tree, or plant, in itself.

Is not that what psychologists call the period are animist. ?This is reflected in their drawings. Children draw what they feel represent their body before the outside world. They draw their stories, their first vision mixed with the ability to feel inside their bodies.Until seven years all the forces of intellect and the will of the child form a whole. It is found in its language and what is usually called “the keyword phrase”. Needless to say, “coat” for: get out, walk, go shopping .The overall perception by the child is also expressed by O. Decroly.”Absorbed”, to borrow a term from Maria Montessori.

This helps us to understand the importance of the testimony we can give, we adults, because we are close to the little ones, who see beyond what we can imagine.They are in tune with their environment, they act according to imitate him and as you go.All that a child can learn just because he is with us. Especially because he is with us!Besides, why he prefers to stay close to us in the kitchen rather than go play alone in his room?

This will also see when you want to show the child like to do something, he’ll want to do together. He said: “Look, Before” but no! If we want to show him how to turn the dough to make a cake or mixing two colors in painting, he has the instrument in the hand and is now!The children are totally confident. Hence the importance of a safe environment, regular and beautiful.Then the child separates the two worlds, his and the outside. Only this time it is taking time to listen to adults … all the way! It’s difficult but gradually internalizes it.

And if we as we listened to the end?

Storytelling is very important for children. The child identifies with because he finds the expression of the complexity of its path, and the difficulties in constructing his person, there are often different tests to overcome when he “found” his.These are the difficulties they have, little by little, into the world of reality: “The world of the earth.”

In this “found” it is there in front of the principle of reminiscence raised by Socrates. Indeed the tales ‘classic’ Grimm, Perrault, Andersen and other traditional tales, to revive the child of “already lived” as Plato tells us that learning is “relearn” in terms of the time “when we contemplate Ideas. ”

There is no explaining the child appropriates events. It reveals what is happening. These are images of the truth he discovered. They are not imposed, he listens, educates and assimilates. They will undergo multiple transformations during its transition to adulthood.
It is obviously the interest that the narrator feels is essential to the story! the child takes all.Stories where the characters are the elements of nature are very important too. Animals, plants, stones … that come alive, have feelings and emotions that allow the child to identify. He will be afraid and will be reinsured, it will have compassion … and gradually develop feelings that will be part of his life and his personal culture.

Pedagogy

It is the “Art to educate and raise” children.

It is a skill which implies a method for acquiring knowledge. Seeks rather to the teacher.

“Theory of Education, normative and critical, on the one hand, and also art and science of education in practice”. (Dictionary of Social Sciences)

It is an art which we consider as we should be able to appreciate his actions, see what they are worth, to readjust. If this causes a scientific observation, the creativity that can adapt its comments to the educational reality, is more an art.

Questions arise
How it works
What result is produced?
What conditions do the results differ?

So the teaching is not only the teaching, that is, any work that aims to educate, but also the methodical explanation of the processes of an art, discipline and all methods that seek the optimal conditions for teaching.
