• Resumen

  • The aim of the article is to provide an analysis of the introduction of principles of New Education in Greece in the beginning of the twentieth century. It focuses on the influence of this movement on Greek pedagogues, especially on those who had studied in Germany, and who tried afterwards to introduce them in the didactic sphere and in the pedagogical field. Their ideas and principles related to New Education and the School of Work (Arbeitschule) and their way of putting them into practice inside the educational system are analysed, including the creation of a certain curriculum, the way of teaching some courses, and the use of certain educational/didactical methods. It is also intended to show how the most important issues of pedagogy and didactics were developed and analysed by the most important pedagogical journals of this period. Attention is paid mainly to the difficulties faced by those who attempted to introduce this system in Greece with regard to a series of factors that differentiate the Greek paradigm from similar endeavours in other European countries. Among these factors one should mention the problem of the language and the consequent ideological antithesis, and the educational reforms in relation to the sociopolitical situation in Greece during the aforementioned period.
