ABSTRACT

One of the critical challenges that faces societies today is how to educate children and young people to cope with the ever demanding contexts in which they live. This education must include the relationships and support that facilitate socio-emotional development. This writing explores the work of Pestalozzi, a pioneering pedagogue, who, over two hundred years ago, challenged the existing notions of schooling and educational practices. Basing his work on pedagogies of love and care, he instinctively knew and was committed to educational practices which have influenced many who came after him and have since been validated by neuroscience and research into child development and psychology. Pestalozzi’s work remains an exemplary, reminder of what is important in education for the holistic development and growth of children and young people as neoliberal agenda increasingly dominates educational systems prioritizing ‘head’ over ‘heart’ and ‘hand’ and eliminating the moral purpose of educating for democracy.

摘要

当今社会面临的关键挑战之一是如何教育儿童和年轻人应对他们所生活的日益苛刻的环境。这种教育必须包括促进社会情感发展的关系和支持。这篇文章探讨了裴斯泰洛齐 (Pestalozzi) 的工作，他是一位先驱教育家，他在 200 多年前挑战了现有的学校教育和教育实践观念。他的工作基于爱与关怀的教学法，他本能地了解并致力于教育实践，这些实践影响了他之后的许多人，并得到了神经科学和儿童发展和心理学研究的验证。裴斯泰洛齐的作品仍然堪称典范，
