The traditional school education was, among others, Johann Friedrich Herbart founded (1776-1841) and deals with the dimensions of education and teaching , and it was adopted by educators and teachers as a supporter and initiator of the interests and abilities of the child.

The role of the educator

The role of the educator is to make the child a strong, morally active person. It should give the child food for thought and encourage and encourage self-activity, because the child carries out the learning process by itself.

Good teaching

According to traditional school pedagogy, “good teaching” is based on awakening and promoting the interests and skills of the child through the presentation of interesting objects and activities. This takes place in graded courses according to the principle “from the sensual to the abstract”. The support of interests and abilities helps the child to act independently and thus to form his own will, whereby he acts morally from his own insight.
