Beschreibung

Intermediate Diploma Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Pedagogy - Reform Pedagogics, grade: 2, University of Vechta, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with these questions, the basics of Korczak's pedagogy and his attempt to enforce respect for the child and the equality of adults and children in society. Janusz Korczak - the Polish doctor, writer and educator left behind a wealth of suggestions, novels, stories and child psychological treatises that still inspire and encourage people today, especially educators, to follow his unique pedagogy. An enormous range of literature can be found about his pedagogy, which primarily refers to his life and not so much to his pedagogical background. These pedagogical backgrounds are above all respect for and unconditional love of the child. Like no other, Korczak put his life at the service of children and did not represent his pedagogy through mere theories, on the contrary, Korczak lived his pedagogy. But who was Janusz Korczak? What was his idea of a "good" educator? What makes his pedagogy so unique and how does Korczak's concept differ from that of other pedagogues?
