Appreciation

The commemorative publication On the Way to a Learning World on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the UIP states:

“Hausmann's pedagogy was that of questions and not answers. The intellectual in people should be respected and creativity - whether cultural, political or educational - should be promoted in its central importance. Whether the 'dramaturgy of teaching' or the term 'Ahmung' he used (which meant not imitating but sympathetic action), his approaches to didactics and methodology are both psychological-pedagogical and artistic in origin. This also applies to his considerations on the question of the psychology of holism. While psychology had the task of unleashing creativity for him, pedagogy took on the function of creating creativity. Gottfried Hausmann was a living link between different traditions and cultures. He sought change in society through education. International collaboration was mandatory for him in educational science. Not least because of this, he pursued his - not realized - idea of ​​creating a world atlas of education in order to provide a precise overview of the current state and history of education on earth.
