Word history
The term arose from an anthropological perspective that understands humans as homo educandus, i.e. as defective beings who need upbringing in order to be able to survive in nature.
Although the term has occasionally appeared earlier, it found more widespread use in German-language educational specialist literature when the humanities education was increasingly replaced by a more social science education in the 1960s and 1970s. Outside the German-speaking area, a distinction between “pupil” and “educand” is not very common because there is often no distinction between “ education ” and “upbringing” due to the lack of reception of German idealism .
