Abstract

The kibbutz educational system achieves continuity of community, childrearing and teaching, due to (1) the wider meaning of learning in a kibbutz society: children learn how fellowship and cooperation work together; (2) similarity between social educational principles: education is collective and communal, imbued with the attitude of economic cooperation, and related to the community through work; (3) structure of the children's society educational program: to provide resources and guidance and to achieve cultural integration.
