ABSTRACT

Georg Kerschensteiner (1854–1932) was a world-renowned proponent of the work school concept (die Arbeitsschule). His educational philosophy was adopted not only in Europe but also in other parts of the world, both in the fields of primary school and vocational education. This study aims to analyse how Georg Kerschensteiner’s views on vocational education, civic education, work school, and teaching were interpreted and adopted by the Early Republican period Turkish pedagogical thinking. Moreover, it aims to scrutinise the impact of his pedagogy on educational practices. In the post-1908 period, in particular, concepts such as work-based education and applied education played an important role in the establishment of the idea of work education. With the proclamation of the Turkish Republic in 1923, Turkish administrators adopted such vocational school principles as the official pedagogical guidelines for its primary schools. During this period, Georg Kerschensteiner’s publications were translated into Turkish, and his work school gained an increasingly important place in Turkish pedagogy. Turkish educators such as Halil F. Kanad, İsmail H. Tonguç, and Hıfzırrahman R. Öymen played an important role in the adoption of his ideas. The Kerschensteinerian approach to education was more directly applied to teacher education in Türkiye, particularly between 1935 and 1954.

16 Mustafa Necati made significant contributions to the personal rights of teachers, teacher education and the teaching profession to reach certain standards during his brief term as the Minister of Education. His letters about the importance of teaching profession, especially addressing newly graduated teachers, promising that he would not leave any unschooled children in the country, and signing and submitting John Dewey’s book, Democracy and Education, which was translated into Turkish, as a gift to young teachers, despite all their hardships and poverty, led to the development of a firm belief in the teaching profession: see Kemal Arı, “Mustafa Necati’nin Ölümü ve Ölümü Sonrasında Onun Eğitimci Yönüne Vurgular” (paper presented at the meeting for the Ölümünün 80.

24 Turkish educators, especially the three educators examined in this study, contributed significantly to the translation of Kerschensteiner’s works into Turkish and to the dissemination of his articles and views among teachers. These educators developed new ideas and perspectives on school curriculum, school managament, and discipline.

39 The main reason for this keen interest in the German culture and education system was the formal education system established in Prussia at a very early period and the admiration for the effectiveness of this system. On the other hand, Prussia’s establishment of a successful primary and secondary education system that produced citizen soldiers was notable as an important example at that time. This was undoubtedly true for Ottoman intellectuals as well: see Walter J. Opello Jr., War, Armed Force and the People: State Formation and Transformation in Historical Perspective (London: Rowman & Littlefield, 2016), 118.

42 Ali Haydar Taner held high positions in the education bureaucracy of the Early Republican period and became the spokesperson of modern pedagogical ideas with his works. After 1908, he studied pedagogy and psychology at the University of Jena.

43 The most important assistant translator of Franz Schmidt in the ministry of education was Halil Fikret Kanad, who was among the important proponents of work pedagogy in the early republican period. He was discharged while serving his military service and was assigned as a translator. MF.MKT.1233, 44 H-27-06-1336.

While Avni Başman was known for his translations from John Dewey and his progressivist ideas, Erişirgil was an important proponent of pragmatist philosophy.

70 The clearest indication of this is Kanad’s book, History of Education and Education, published in 1926. The structure and perspective of the work were similar to the work of his teacher, Paul Barth, Die Geschichte der Erziehung in soziologischer und geistesgeschichtlicher Beleuchtung (Leipzig: ORReisland, 1911).

88 Although Tonguç’s main reason for turning to a different perspective from Kerschensteiner’s work education was to avoid being associated with the socialist work school, the main reason here was actually that the country’s economic downturn left no other way out. On the other hand, the village school and peasant approach applied from the end of the nineteenth century in Bulgaria and Romania, where Tonguç spent his childhood and youth, had a solid place in his mind. Erişirgil, with whom he was a colleague for many years, also emphasised the same point: see ”Mehmet E. Erişirgil, 23.”
