Froebelian

Where it comes from

From Froebel + -ian.

adjective more Froebelian · most Froebelian · Fröbelian

Of or relating to Friedrich Fröbel (or Froebel; 1782–1852), German pedagogue who laid the foundation for modern education based on the recognition that children have unique needs and capabilities. We quoted a month or two back some amusing verses from Punch poking fun at child study, pædometry and the new faddists; but it is easy to turn the tables and show the nauseating diet that was provided for children of the early Victorian age when Froebelian methods were unknown.

noun Froebelians · Fröbelian

One who favours Fröbel's system of education.
