ABSTRACT

This article examines the life of Friedrich Froebel, the founder of the kindergarten in the 1840s. It describes how the kindergarten and its impact in Germany and the United States. It spread at the international level of education because German kindergarten teachers relocated it to other countries when it was banned in Germany. In the years from 1851 to 1914, kindergarten had much greater success in the United States than in Germany. In 1900, most German school authorities refused to incorporate the kindergarten into public school systems, but many American school systems included kindergarten classes after it was accepted. This paper provides a summary of Froebel’s life and his gifts to children in Germany and the United States.

摘要

本文考察了 1840 年代幼儿园创始人弗里德里希·福禄贝尔的生平。它描述了幼儿园及其在德国和美国的影响。它在国际教育层面传播开来，因为当它在德国被禁止时，德国幼儿园教师将其转移到其他国家。从 1851 年到 1914 年，美国的幼儿园比德国的幼儿园成功得多。1900年，大多数德国学校当局拒绝将幼儿园纳入公立学校系统，但许多美国学校系统在接受幼儿园课程后才包括幼儿园课程。本文概述了福禄贝尔的生平以及他给德国和美国儿童的礼物。
