moving in space.
3.Force or energy is the ultimate
reality.

demands of day-to-day life.

NATURALISTIC EDUCATION ARE:

natural goodness of man.
2.Education according to nature.

natural individual rights of
man.

JEAN-JACQUES
ROUSSEAU

 Famous nature philosopher of the

18th century.
Published a famous book Emile.
Everything is good as it leaves
the hands of the Author of
things; everything degenerates
in the hands of man - Rousseau

Naturalism
emphasized
the
duties of parents in the
education of their children
by protecting from artificial
society.
Parents
should
develop
the
childrens
inherent qualities.

The four stages of life and

development are:
1.Infancy (birth to 5)- let them
experience everything and this
should be accomplished without
external compulsion of
authority.

2. Childhood (5-12)- laissez-faire

approach. Let the child do nothing
and allow nothing to be done. Do not
use books instead use games and let
experience be the only teacher.
3. Boyhood (12-15)- age of reasons.
The child would then recognize the
usefulness of knowledge.

4. Adolescence (15-20)perception of human relation

arouse. Sex impulse appeared to
be strong and reason had to
check the sexual desires and
channel them to more desirable
outlets.

The main contribution of

naturalism to the educational
method was its emphasis on
making the child the center of
the educative process.
