Abstract

One of the major inventions of modern education is the instructional use of Anschauung. It was a kind of experience/based learning and had two major influences - first as a method of instruction which was more effective than mere book learning and rote memorization, and second, as a rejection of old social arrangements which inculcated traditional values through deductive and authoritarian teaching. In this article I will examine how the implications of appealing to Anschauung have changed according to socio-historical changes.
