This article examines the
pedagogical purpose of kindergarten and primary school comparing
the curricula of the canton Berne. Three questions direct the
qualitative content analysis:
1. What pedagogical and didactic principles are characteristic
for kindergarten?
2. Where do we find tendencies of similarity and difference
between kindergarten and primary school?
3. Which areas provide opportunities for educational innovation?
A qualitative content analysis reveals two different leitmotifs:
for kindergarten it is the leit-motif "development"
and for school it is "learning". Despite the different
leitmotifs there are tendencies towards similarity, especially
for the didactic principle of individualization. This area provides
manifold possibilities for the further development of educational
concepts. |
