Kurzbeschreibung:
In this classic of childhood education, Friedrich Froebel identifies the fundamental principles upon which he based his now-ubiquitous kindergarten system. Froebel demonstrates how to channel child's play and integrate it into the development of intelligence and social skills, explaining the vital inner connection between the pupil's mind and the subject of study. Rooted in the theories of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, Froebel's approach to early childhood education exercised enormous influence over modern techniques, particularly those of John Dewey.
