  1. Hello Today we're going to discuss a shift in american
  2. education influenced by the philosopher johann Pestillo C If you
  3. recall colonial and early american schools were founded on colonialism,
  4. which value learning about the past through classical literature and
  5. learning facts and knowledge that had prevailed throughout time.
  6. School age students at this time would have really been
  7. taught through teachers and an instruction and they're learning would
  8. have been focused on religious and moral teachings, arithmetic and
  9. reading. For example, we looked at the new England Primer
  10. which taught reading and encouraged the rote memorization of calvinist
  11. doctrine. Here in the first line of the letter a
  12. we see it stands for an adam's fall, we send
  13. all you get that idea that students are sinful and
  14. bad conveyed in that very first line.
  15. Therefore they're teaching needs to be very strict um in
  16. order to guide them and correct them.
  17. As diversity grew in America, the religious messages were tempered
  18. into a broader moral guidance, but the instructional method remained
  19. the same rote memorization.
  20. A bigger shift began to happen as leaders look to
  21. spread education to the broader Population through the common schools.
  22. In the early 19th century, these reformers in America were
  23. drawn to ideas in Europe, such as Pestillo sees which
  24. were based on the enlightenment idea that Children were basically
  25. good and it was society that needed to be reformed.
  26. So let's take a look at Pestillo.
  27. See that found out patient principle, the Children are good.
  28. Um Through that he developed a student centered philosophy of
  29. education that was based on an understanding of natural child
  30. development, learning through sensory experiences and the idea that education
  31. can reform society.
  32. His method would come to be known as a balance
  33. of educating the heart, head and hands as he addressed
  34. students effective cognitive and physical needs.
  35. Let's take a closer look at those three areas.
  36. First, the heart pesto loses education centered on love.
  37. He cared about his students and he saw himself as
  38. a father figure to them.
  39. He also believed that education took place best in a
  40. safe nurturing environment and he emphasized the role mothers plate
  41. in teaching their Children.
  42. Additionally, Pest Alosi showed his love for students by giving
  43. them that developmentally appropriate education that would lead to them
  44. having brighter futures head pestilence.
  45. He believes students learn best through the senses.
  46. He was the creator of the object lesson.
  47. He believed that rather than memorizing a list of facts,
  48. students should be encouraged to observe, describe and reflect with
  49. learning a new subject hands.
  50. While Pestillo sees hands on education began by focusing on
  51. vocational training for his needy students.
  52. He didn't move on and focus on physical education, pe
  53. such as we know it today.
  54. He believed that students should be active and this idea
  55. that movement can influence learning has been proven.
  56. So like I said, these ideas were adopted by american
  57. leaders and they were implemented in the teacher training seminaries
  58. that train the women who had become teachers in America.
  59. This was mostly in the Northeast, but these women were
  60. sent out into the Western states and indian territories to
  61. teach the population and pest loc method was carried with
  62. them. When I think of a pestilence in teacher, the
  63. picture that comes to mind this is Mrs beetle from
  64. Little House on the Prairie.
  65. If you haven't seen the show, you should watch a
  66. few episodes just to get the idea.
  67. But if you have seen it, you will definitely recognize
  68. mrs veal.
  69. She was a kind nurturing mother figure teacher student.
  70. She cared about their needs inside the classroom and out.
  71. She individualized instruction by teaching in a one room school
  72. with multiple aged Children.
  73. She would have to, but she made sure it was
  74. developmentally appropriate for each age.
  75. And she often took classes outside to explore nature and
  76. learn through this instance.
  77. Overall she's a picture of the american pest illusion teacher.
  78. So in summary this shift can be described in several
  79. ways. It was a shift from colonialism to progressivism, from
  80. the transmission of information to the transformation of society, from
  81. teacher centered instruction to student centered instruction.
  82. And in regards to instructional methods from rote memorization to
  83. a real balanced learning.
  84. What implications do pasta lows these methods have on educators
  85. today. When we look at the classroom within the last
  86. year, you see students who are socially distanced masked or
  87. even learning online.
  88. How can teachers address the heart?
  89. By building positive relationships, the head by individualizing instruction and
  90. making it meaningful, their sensory engagement in the hands?
  91. By allowing students to move and exercise.
  92. These are questions educators are facing today and that you
  93. should consider in your future classrooms because you think about
  94. how to give your students and balanced education.
  95. Thank you have a great
