Malleability

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Friedrich Herbart; Engraving by Konrad Geyer (1816–1893)

As plasticity refers to the ascribed to the human ability to develop skills to learn and to form with educative support and in interactions with the world.

Concept history

The term points back far into history and is already addressed in ancient myth (e.g. in the theogony of Hesiod) as a peculiarity of humans who are not naturally made, but have to develop their abilities and talents themselves . Rousseau attributes this ability to children and adolescents in a special way and recognizes in it a prerequisite for upbringing. The term plasticity is used in German idealism as well as in the classical, romantic and enlightened poets. It was taken up by the classics of pedagogy in the first half of the 19th century to describe the possibility of having an educational effect on adolescents and supporting educational processes. Johann Friedrich Herbart raised the term plasticity to the basic concept of education. In pedagogical contexts it does not only mean the ability to learn in the sense of figurability, but is a basic concept of pedagogical interaction.
