Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to the educational theories of Johann Friedrich Herbart — a German philosopher, psychologist, and educator — and how they are used in practice. Herbart's theories have significantly impacted education since the early 19th century. The author provides a detailed overview of Herbart's psychology, ethics, and pedagogy. Herbart believed moral character could be formed through the influence of the enlightened will, and made knowledge subordinate to that end. Herbart's ethical theory and aim are seen as incompatible with the Christian religious instruction that is compulsory in German elementary schools — in the author's view, his followers have limited Herbart's universally applicable principles by local conditions of thought and faith. The book presents a detailed theoretical framework into Herbart's ideas and meticulously explains the practical application of his pedagogy. It illuminates the origins and development of Herbartian educational thought from its inception to the present day, showing how Herbart's principles have been embraced and adapted by educators worldwide. This well-researched book is well-suited for educators, psychology students, education students and scholars of Herbart's educational legacy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
