Korczaks Pädagogik heute

Janusz Korczak is internationally recognized as one of the most important educators and as a pioneer of children's rights. Far less known is the importance he attached to early childhood. In this book, the author shows the topicality of his ideas and opens up completely new perspectives on his life and work. She focuses on the importance of his concepts for early childhood education. What attitude has shaped Korczak's pedagogy and how can this inspire our work in daycare today? How can education, upbringing and care in day-care centers based on Korczak be made appreciative, participatory and cheerful? This introduction to Korczak pedagogy is theoretically sound and at the same time practice-oriented - a new discovery for teaching, research and study as well for educational professionals in crèche, kindergarten, day care, after-school care and home. Prof. Dr. Irit Wyrobnik teaches early childhood education at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Koblenz University of Applied Sciences. Janusz Korczak's pedagogy has been one of her main research areas for many years.
