Klara Stoevesandt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klara Stoevesandt (born October 23, 1921 in Bremen ; † November 7, 2014 in Bremen) was a German kindergarten teacher, teacher and headmaster.

Live and act

Her parents were the doctor and theologian Karl Stoevesandt and his wife Dorothee, geb. Köster. She still had five siblings. After graduating from high school (1941), Stoevesandt completed the kindergarten teacher training course in Weimar, led by Mintje Bostedt . The latter was close friends with the Stoevesandt family. After a short career, Stoevesandt studied pedagogy, psychology and evangelical theology in Göttingen and Mainz . In 1952, she completed her studies with a doctorate at the university in the latter city . The topic of her dissertation, supervised by Otto Friedrich Bollnow , is: The educational significance of the evangelical parish sermon .

After completing his university studies, Stoevesandt taught at various seminars for kindergarten teachers, interrupted by an activity (1956–1958) as a consultant for the Protestant kindergartens and after-school care centers in Frankfurt am Main . In 1962, Stoevesandt took over the leadership of the Protestant kindergarten teacher seminar in Osnabrück . Until 1985 she was responsible for the above-mentioned training facility, which was renamed the Evangelical Technical School for Social Pedagogy in 1967 .

With her publication Building and Placing , she continued to provide pioneering impulses within pre-school education that are still valid today. She wrote about the educational value of building for the child's development:

“Building is proving to be a suitable learning area, and to an excellent extent in connection with pre-school education. Building blocks can be grouped in didactic material; because they enable both systematic and unsystematic learning and thus meet the child's natural need to learn (...) First, the child expands and refines his or her manual dexterity. It curbs its movements in order to place the building blocks on top of each other as precisely as necessary and not to bring the building to collapse. The restraint is far from tense; it is rather embedded in a relaxation that affects the whole body. "

For many years, Stoevesandt was a permanent employee of the Protestant journal Evangelische Kinderpflege / Theory and Practice of Social Pedagogy , for which she wrote a considerable number of articles.
