4. University Highlights
Wilhelm von Humboldt´s University Made in Germany (1810)
Basic idea: No more regurgitation of knowledge, instead:
encourage productive thinking Quote:
„Just as primary instruction makes the teacher possible, so he renders himself dispensable through schooling at the secondary level. The university teacher is thus no longer a teacher and the student is no longer a pupil. Instead the student conducts research on his own behalf and the professor supervises his research and supports him in it.”
