Produktbeschreibung
Our School in Pavlysh describes the inspirational work carried out at Pavlysh Secondary School in central Ukraine during the 1960s. For Sukhomlynsky's readership of teachers and school principals, the word 'Pavlysh' stood for creative thought, inspiration, and the hope of finding answers to troubling questions. Raising his school from the ashes of World War II, Sukhomlynsky created a system of education that was deeply embedded in the natural environment and that fostered the qualities of curiosity, empathy and creativity. One of the thousands of visitors to Pavlysh, a school principal from Armenia, wrote: 'I have spent only one day in this remarkable school where so much is happening, but I have gained as much as I did in four years at the institute.' Another visiting principal wrote: 'Pavlysh Secondary School should be renamed a university! We say this quite responsibly: here a feeling of wonder and admiration comes over anyone with the slightest love for children and schools.' Students enrolling in Sukhomlynsky's school became part of a vibrant learning community in which teachers, parents, community members, and the students themselves all played a role in educating each other. Dozens of clubs operated after school, most attended by children of varying ages, and the older children played a significant role in educating younger children. These informal, extracurricular activities were extremely important in developing children's talents, building their self-esteem, and providing an experiential background for formal studies. In this environment students became autonomous, lifelong learners.
Autorenporträt
Vasyl Sukhomlynsky was a Ukrainian educator who published in both Ukrainian and Russian. (In some publications, his name has been transliterated from Russian as Vasilii Sukhomlinskii or Vasily Sukhomlinsky.) Sukhomlynsky was the most influential Soviet educator of the 1950s and 1960s. He lived from 1918 to 1970, and wrote over 30 books and over 500 articles, many of which have been translated into multiple languages, selling millions of copies. Sukhomlynsky tried to redirect the course of Soviet education towards a greater concern for the needs of individual students. He was influenced by earlier educators such as Leo Tolstoy and Janusz Korczak. Sukhomlynsky's works continue to enjoy popularity in his homeland (Ukraine) and in Russia, where many of his works were first published. His writings are also immensely popular in China, where he is one of the most influential foreign educators.
