  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pestalozzi and Pestalozzianism
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, one of the greatest pioneers of modern education, born at Zurich, Switzerland, 12 January, 1746; died at Brugg, 17 February, 1827.
Pestalozzi was made the head of an institution at Stanz in which the orphans were to be trained.
Pestalozzi then opened a school in the Castle of Burgdorf, and there laboured zealously from 1799 to 1804, though hampered by jealousies and misunderstandings.

  pestalozzi
Pestalozzi sought to establish a “psychological method of instruction” that was not in line with the laws of human nature.
Pestalozzi was the quintessential “reflective practioner.” He was committed to reflection and observation, elements that are crucial to the success of education.
Pestalozzi believed that if the school was combined with work, in essence a production enabling children to finance their own learning, then they would not be obligated to anyone, and could operate “their” school free from government regulation and interference.

 Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi Summary
After his father died in 1751, Pestalozzi experienced a sheltered childhood; he remembered that he was guarded like a sheep that was not allowed to leave the barn; he never met boys of his own age on the street; he knew none of their games or their secrets; he felt awkward among them.
Pestalozzi's classes, which were often visited by observers, showed him to be a father figure and friend, constantly stressing the powers of love and understanding in the educational process.
Pestalozzi's profound piety, the desire to love and to be loved, his compassion for suffering—and his extreme sensitivity and awkwardness in dealing with the practical affairs of life—were due largely to the exclusive upbringing of his pious mother.

Pestalozzi married at 23, and first lived with his wife Anna Schulthess in Birr (Canton Aargau), where they tried to organize help for local abandoned children and from where Pestalozzi wrote books and newspaper articles to bring the problem of children in poverty to wider attention.
Pestalozzi took in up to 150 boys aged 7 to 15 who would otherwise have been begging on the streets, fed and clothed them, and organized a flexible school curriculum suited to each child’s abilities, covering mathematics, languages, music, gymnastics, biology, astronomy and more, thus gaining worldwide attention from social scientists of the day.
If anything, Pestalozzi’s legacy is only beginning to be fully realized today, with the UN acknowledging education to be a human right and recognizing that children have a right to be treated with the same respect as adults.

Without a doubt many requests of the French revolutionaries agreed with Pestalozzi's ideals, for example their ideas of trade and freedom of trade, of freedom of the press, of freedom of worship, of abolishment of unfair contributions, of the tax right and of the improve of the education of the people.
Nevertheless, there are plain differences, too: Pestalozzi never judged the ideal of the outer equality particularly high and the modern understanding of freedom as an all-round independence stood in contrast to his differentiated idea of freedom.
Pestalozzi bowed to the inevitable and as the constitution and the board of directors promised to realize most of the reforms, that he had demanded for 30 years already, he worked for the new system; he found it easier, as he befriended one of the five directors, Phillip Albrecht Stapfer.

Pestalozzi's theory of education is based on the importance of a pedagogical method that corresponds to the natural order of individual development and of concrete experiences.

Pestalozzi's pedagogical doctrines stressed that instructions should proceed from the familiar to the new, incorporate the performance of concrete arts and the experience of actual emotional responses, and be paced to follow the gradual unfolding of the child's development.
Pestalozzi's curriculum, which was modelled after Jean-Jacques Rousseau's plan in Émile, emphasized group rather than individual recitation and focussed on such participatory activities as drawing, writing, singing, physical exercise, model making, collecting, map making, and field trips.
Pestalozzi was influenced by the political conditions of his country and by the educational ideas of Rousseau; as a young man he abandoned the study of theology to go “back to Nature.” In 1769 he took up agriculture on neglected land near the River Aare—the Neuhof.

Pestalozzi was born in Zürich and educated at the University of Zürich.
This school, attended by pupils from all over Europe, served for 20 years as a testing ground for the Pestalozzian system, in which the child is guided to learn through practice, observation, and the natural employment of the senses.
Pestalozzi stressed the individuality of the child and the necessity for teachers to be taught how to develop rather than to try to implant knowledge.

Pestalozzi's followers developed various sayings from this: from the known to the unknown, from the simple to the complex, from the concrete to the abstract.
That said though, Pestalozzi made a significant contribution to the establishment of the school as a central educational force (in contrast to Rousseau's emphasis on the tutor).
Third, there is Pestalozzi's concern with equilibrium between elements - head, hands and heart - and the dangers of attending to just one.

Pestalozzi believed that thought began with sensation and that teaching should use the senses.
Pestalozzi employed the following principles in teaching (viewed as correct even today): (1) begin with the concrete object before introducing abstract concepts; (2) begin with the immediate environment before dealing with what is distant and remote; (3) begin with easy exercises before introducing complex ones; and (4) always proceed gradually, cumulatively, and slowly.

The memorial year 1996 (his 250th birthday) has put the "myth" Pestalozzi and Pestalozzi's reception into the middle of a scientific discussion.
But the recently, after 70 years of work, finished complete edition of Pestalozzi's works is asking for another discussion about the thoughts and ideas of it's author, to separate fundamentals and time-dependent issues, and to re-evaluate Pestalozzi's contribution to the origination and development of pedagogical thinking.

 Pestalozzi-Fröbel-Haus
The convictions of Pestalozzi and Fröbel regarding teaching methodology were revolutionary ideas that directly challenged this orthodox mindset: despite arriving at their theories via different routes, both men considered the child to be an ‘essential link in the chain of humanity’ (Pestalozzi), which they hoped to improve through advances in children’s upbringing and education.
The child’s experiences in its first years of life formed the basis for its subsequent development, and the two 19th century educationalists concluded that corresponding importance should be attached to protecting and nurturing children, promoting their development at the infant stage and encouraging a measure of independence and auto-instruction.
It was their intention to combine teaching theory with practical application, and thus was born the Pestalozzi- Fröbel Institute and the parallel streaming of training and hands-on experience that still exists today.

 Hans A. Pestalozzi Details, Meaning Hans A. Pestalozzi Article and Explanation Guide
Hans A. Pestalozzi (1929 - July 14, 2004) was a Swiss social critic who, in the prime of life, broke free from the Establishment and started a new life explaining and criticizing late 20th century capitalism, which eventually led to his becoming a bestselling author (Nach uns die Zukunft, Auf die Bäume ihr Affen).
The institute was being established to investigate the range of possible shortcomings and negative effects of capitalism, in particular within Western consumer society, so that they could be combated more effectively.
Pestalozzi fulfilled that task very thoroughly, especially in his lectures, so much so that in 1977 he was fired by Migros.

But central to Pestalozzi's vocational activity as a school master/educator was the idea of the Brotherhood of Humanity, for Sozialpadagogik insists that the spirit must not be torn from the work, or the theory from the practice.
Like Natorp and unlike Pestalozzi who was concerned principally with the very young, Hutchins was primarily concerned with the metaphysical and moral basis of higher education.
However, Natorp and his American heirs agree with Pestalozzi that soul education is the supplementation of the natural course of human development in regard to the laws of our being.
