Marian Heitger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marian Heitger (born August 18, 1927 in Hamm ; † April 7, 2012 in Vienna ) was a German educationalist.

Life

From 1966 to 1995 he was professor (theoretical and systematic pedagogy , from 1981 also special and curative pedagogy) at the University of Vienna .

Following on from his academic teacher Alfred Petzelt and his doctoral supervisor Richard Hönigswald, Heitger represented the point of view of principles-based pedagogy and created this through numerous activities (including chairman of the scientific advisory board of the University of Klagenfurt , vice-president of the Vienna Catholic Academy , member of the board of directors of the Salzburg University Weeks ) and publications strong response. He understood principles to be generally applicable and necessary requirements that one must assume when one considers von und v. a. want to talk about pedagogy. One of these principles is “self-determination” of people. Without assuming people as the ability to determine themselves and also to be able to determine themselves, no scientific pedagogy can begin. His pedagogical work therefore necessarily has normative traits based on an unconditional ought, but it is by no means normative. Heitger was of the opinion that people are asked to educate themselves and that this means to be educationally active, which is de facto only possible through dialogue. Marian Heitger's principled pedagogy is therefore v. a. also a “pedagogy of dialogue”.

Since 1950 he was a member of the Catholic student union KDStV Winfridia (Breslau) Münster .
