Educational norm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An educational standard is a supra-individual value principle or a social norm that determines how the education is to take place of children and adolescents. Educational standards based methods of education , and educational means and form the basis of the educational assessment of the child behavior. They are linked to individual educational concepts and, together with them, are subject to historical change.

The expressions pedagogical norm , educational or educational model and educational or educational principle are mostly used in the same sense as educational norm .

Definition

Although the term is often used by educators and is one of the defining elements of the term “upbringing”, there has hardly ever been an attempt from the educational side to define it precisely. Even in some pedagogical real lexica the lemma is completely absent. Also Hans Bokelmann z. B. only vaguely defines norms of upbringing as “certain ideas about life” on which upbringing is based. Oswald Kahnt, a pioneer of scientific pedagogy, took a closer look as early as 1902 when he described how, with the help of psychology, subordinate, special educational norms can be derived from superordinate, general educational norms ( educational goals ) , which orient the education in detail.
