During the 19th century, the dominant approach towards childhood in Greece is that of the âsmall adultâ. The child is metaphorically described as a âspongeâ or as âmalleable waxâ. At the end of the 19th century the educators - proponents of Herbart's psychology and pedagogics - attempt to explain this identification theoretically. From the beginning of the 20th century, childhood is progressively defined as an object of scientific research and study (mainly in Medical and Hygiene area). In 1920-21, the journal titled Pedology is published. At the same time, important Greek educators refer to the physical and intellectual development of children, influenced by the principles of the Progressive Education. Thus, discussion begins concerning experimental pedagogics and psychology of children. The notion of âhuman natureâ begins to give way to the notion of the ânature of children.â The aim of this paper is to record the development of pedagogic approaches to children and childhood in Greece from the 19th century up to the beginning of the 20th century. For this reason, pedagogic texts of the aforementioned time period will be studied, in order to investigate the content that is attributed to the terms âchildâ and âchildhoodâ by early Greek educators.
