Johann Friedrich
Herbart
1776-1841
Herbart's
system of philosophy stems from the analysis of experience. The system includes
logic, metaphysics, and aesthetics as coordinate elements. He rejected all concepts of
separate mental faculties, postulating instead that all mental phenomena result
from interaction of elementary ideas. Herbart believed that educational methods
and systems should be based on psychology and ethics: psychology to furnish
necessary knowledge of the mind and ethics to be used as a basis for
determining the social ends of education. Learning follows from building up
sequences of ideas important to the individual.
Herbart's systems of philosophies is very idealistic. Because the use of psychology to all levels of learning should consider individual uniqueness, for not all people can understand psychological methods easily.
