history

The Vienna Teachers 'Training Institute , the Municipal Teachers' Pedagogy , was opened on October 12, 1868 and was given the legal basis by the Reich Primary School Act of March 1, 1869. The pedagogy was set up at Fichtegasse 3 and replaced in 1925 by the Pedagogical Institute of the City of Vienna .

The Pedagogical Institute carried out teacher training courses in preparation for the teaching qualification test for elementary schools and the test for the individual subject groups of the community schools and offered courses for the supplementary test at secondary schools. At the beginning of the academic year 1925/26, under the direction of Viktor Fadrus , the three previous locations in the school building at Burggasse 14-16 were brought together, which made it possible to expand the study program.

From 1925 to 1930, university-level, academic teacher training courses were held in cooperation with the University of Vienna . The lecturers included Alfred Adler (1920 to 1929), Max Adler , Charlotte Bühler , Karl Bühler , Wilhelm Jerusalem and Hans Kelsen (winter semester 1926/27). At the institute, teachers were introduced to the theory of individual psychology as part of the Vienna school reform .

Well-known students of the institute were Ludwig Wittgenstein (1919/1920) and Karl Popper (1925 to 1927), who trained there as elementary school teachers.

The institute also included the central pedagogical library with the latest reform literature and an institute school for testing and further developing pedagogical theory and practice. Since the renovation in 1959, the school building has had 14 smaller and one large lecture hall for 300 people, an auditorium designed as a ballroom, several training workshops, laboratories and a gym.

The Pedagogical Institute existed until 2007 and was replaced by the Vienna University of Education in the same year . The holdings of the central library were taken over by the Vienna library in the town hall .

Teaching

The Pedagogical Institute was set up by Glöckel with the aim of university-level teacher training and teacher training. Among other things, they had the purpose of promoting the concerns of the Vienna school reform and giving them a broad impact.

Ferdinand Birnbaum took over the lecture “Difficult to Educate Schoolchildren” from Alfred Adler in the winter semester 1929/30, which he had held since 1924. With further lectures he was able to introduce teachers to the theory and practice of individual psychological school management until 1934, taking the diverse everyday pedagogy as the starting point for analyzes.

These lectures were resumed after the Second World War from 1945 and expanded. After the eleven years of abandoning the Viennese school reform, there was a great need among the teaching staff to be able to deal with psychological and pedagogical issues. Hundreds of enthusiastic teachers flocked to the lectures, seminars and exercises.

The well-known school practitioners from the time of the Viennese school reform Oskar Spiel , Ferdinand Birnbaum, Karl Nowotny and Margarethe Hofbauer with their four-semester "Individual Psychology Seminar" from 1946 to 1952 as well as the subsequent four-semester interdisciplinary seminar "Training for educational advisors", which was organized by, among others, attracted particular attention Walter Spiel, Knut Baumgärtel, Lotte Schenk-Danzinger . The seminar was carried out together with the University Clinic for Neurology until 1960.

Parallel to the educational counselor training, Oskar Spiel and Franz Scharmer taught practical school and individual psychological content. Education for democracy, which was much discussed after the Second World War, was dealt with in lectures on "student self-administration" from 1945 to 1947. He then expanded this into lectures on "The class as an administrative, discussion and aid community". In addition, until 1956 he held lectures on topics such as “recording student personalities” and “children with learning and behavior problems”. After Oskar Spiel retired in 1957, the institute no longer offered individual psychology lectures.
