Interesting Facts About Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi:
  • Influenced by:  Rousseau, the french writer, political theorist, botanist, musician, and philosopher. 
  • Had Influence On:  Froebel, the German creator of Kindergarten. 
  • Established a school for boys in the Castle of Yverdon, Switzerland (1805-1825), where he implemented his method of educating children (the Pestalozzi Method).  He first used educational tools such as field trips, group work, grade levels, ability grouping, and allowance of individual differences.  About 100 underprivileged boys, between ages 7 and 15, were taken in to the school. 
  • Established a school for girls similar to the one for boys (1807). 
  • Established a school for children with hearing and/or speech disabilities.  This was the first school of its type in Switzerland, and the world (1813). 
  • Published How Gertude Teachers Her Children (1801).  This represents his initial influence on teaching practices. 

Concepts

  • Believed that children should not be taught through words, but through activity. 
  • Tried to strike a balance between education for the purpose of personal freedom and education for the purpose of citizenship (it was important for citizens to be educated so they would be responsible, and would understand the laws of their country, colony or town). 
  • Children should not be given answers, but should be allowed to go through the exploration process that will lead them to the answer. 
  • The Whole Child must be educated, not just their intellect.  Hands, Heart and Head must be kept balanced. 
  • Disapproved of Memorization. 

Quotes

"I wish to wrest education from the outworn order of doddering old teaching hacks as well as from the new-fangled order of cheap, artificial teaching tricks, and entrust it to the eternal powers of nature herself, to the light which God has kindled and kept alive in the hearts of fathers and mothers, to the interests of parents who desire their children grow up in favour with God and with men." (Pestalozzi quoted in Silber 1965: 134).
