Study of Frobel's Gift (No.6) : The term and size of second Gift

Creators Shoji Yasuhiro

Frobel's second gift is 6Cm's column, and it makes by wool. The column is situated his nurturel purpose that is opposition, harmony. Frobel arranged these conditions by his own observation of infants. But, Frobel's gifts had been criticized by DeweyJ. That his gifts have own contradiction in his thought, that the systematic order of gifts disregard creative self, action of infants. The treatise aims to produce counterevidence the criticism by some experiments. I investigated term, order, size of the second gift. And as the results, we understand that the term is 24-35 monthes, the order is correct, and the size is found 6Cm. So, I have a disproof toward Dewey's criticism. Frobel's gifts are based on the essence and the development of infants. The systematic order of gifts do not disregard the creative self, action of infants. Frobel's gifts and his systematic order are showing us the eternal avail over the time and the nation.
