Psychologie de l'éducation

Résumé

"Psychologie de l'éducation" by Gustave Le Bon is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work critiques the methods of education prevalent in France and explores their psychological implications, while offering insights into more effective educational practices observed in other countries, particularly the United States. It aims to dissect the shortcomings of the current educational system, advocating for a profound transformation in teaching methods. At the start of this discourse, the author establishes the foundational premise that education is about transferring knowledge into the subconscious mind. Through a detailed examination of various educational reforms and their failures in France, Le Bon critiques the emphasis on rote memorization and strict adherence to outdated pedagogical frameworks. He highlights that the systemic inadequacies stem from both the educators and the structure of the educational institution itself. By comparing French methodologies with those used in America, he suggests that real learning occurs through observation and practical engagement rather than mere recitation, thus emphasizing the need for a revolutionary approach to teaching.
