Question

Froebel regarded school as a ........... and the teacher as a ........... .

Hint:

Froebel’s concept — school = garden, teacher = gardener.

Answer 1

Friedrich Froebel, the originator of the kindergarten concept, conceptualized the school as a garden and the teacher as a gardener.
He posited that children develop and acquire knowledge organically, akin to plants, when cultivated in an appropriate setting.
The educator's function is to steer, attend to, and foster the child's development with affection and forbearance.
This principle advocates for education via recreation, the natural world, and practical engagement.
Froebel’s pedagogical principles continue to underpin contemporary early childhood education.
