Fritz Otto Scheibner (born September 7, 1877 in Borna ; † December 18, 1961 in Leipzig ) was a German reform pedagogue .

Life

Otto Scheibner was born as the son of the editor Friedrich Gumal Scheibner, who worked for the Leipziger Tageblatt. After completing his training at the teacher training college , Scheibner passed the first examination for teaching at elementary schools in 1898 . From 1901 to 1923 he worked as a teacher at the secondary girls 'school with female teachers' seminar in Leipzig with the leading reform pedagogue Hugo Gaudig . During this period Scheibner, as a close colleague of Gaudig, clarified and systematized his work school concept .

Between 1915 and 1925 Scheibner taught as a lecturer at the Saxon University for Women in Leipzig and at the Leipzig workshop for handicrafts . From 1923 he worked in the course of Greil's school reform in the Free State of Thuringia as a high school councilor and honorary professor for educational science at the University of Jena . After the Reich execution in November 1923, the conservative successor government retired him in his role as high school councilor. After he was appointed director of the Pedagogical Institute at the University of Jena, where teachers were trained, in 1928, he was appointed professor for school pedagogy / didactics at the Prussian Pedagogical Academy in Erfurt , which was closed again in 1932 for reasons of economy. After that, he was retired and only worked as a magazine editor. In 1933 he showed sympathy for the National Socialists because their educational ideas were similar to those of the work school.

As a work educator , Scheibner showed a five-stage work structure: setting a work goal; Searching for work equipment; Drafting and structuring a work plan; Execution of the work steps; Obtaining and evaluating the work result. Scheibner can thus be regarded as the theoretician of the Gaudig School. Since the original estate of Gaudig was lost as a result of an air raid in 1943, the collection of material created by Scheibner forms the basis of the documents known today about Gaudig's educational work.

He had been married to Johanna Gareis, daughter of the Schwarzenberg mayor Alfred Paul Gareis, since 1904 .
