Tracing the Intellectual Legacy of Froebel
Abstract
This paper reviews the legacy of Froebel through three areas, namely (1) Early childhood education status and role; (2)The importance of activities such as play and work in early childhood education; (3) The Gifts and Occupations. It further explores the important role that Froebel's legacy still plays in the field of education, using New Zealand as an example. Finally specific aspects of Froebel's influence are explored at the international level and at the national level (using New Zealand as an example). Reviewing the legacy of ideas left by Froebel will allow us to better move forward.
