프뢰벨 ‘은물’의 신적통일성에 대한 탐구

Abstract

his study is on the geometric cognition in the Froebel's conception of the ‘Gifts’. His geometric conceptions are based on his former geological studies than he had committed in the education. His academic grounds are, as regarded, from the Kantian philosophy those day as well as from the form of Pestalozzi’s theory, including such as the geologic crystallography in the Weiβ, even though he had met Pestalozzi by accident. Nevertheless, Froebel’s educational thoughts have been reckoned as quite different from Pestalozzi and Kant, which has gone beyond their Enlightenment perspective and then constituted views of Romanticism. As a result of this profound influence, he has considered various experiences as an educationally significant, and this is nowadays estimated to open a new era of education. The paper has made a focus on this. That is, the mutable world and children’s concrete experiences come together and make sense under the God’s unity. This enables us to understand his educational view as a kind of sequences ‘nature’-‘mutable’-‘creation’ with children’s concrete activities with the Gifts. And this also throws light on the practical guide at the level of the early-childhood education.
