Originating in Finland in eighteen-sixty-five, Educational Sloyd
used handicrafts practised in schools to promote educational
completeness through the interdependence of the mind and body.
These radical ideas spread throughout Europe and America and had a
significant impact on the early development of manual training,
manual arts, industrial education and technical education. Today it
is generally acknowledged that Educational Sloyd laid the
foundations of modern technological education. This book traces the
development of Sloyd from its conception by Uno Cygnaeus and the
first Sloyd school founded by Otto Salomon, to its enthusiastic
take up in Scandinavia and beyond. It examines the debates and
controversy which surround the Sloyd system, and considers the
transition from 'hands-on' craft work to concepts of technology
education. Finally, the investigation reveals the lasting legacy of
the ideas and practice of Sloyd education, and how it continues to
influence technological education. Included in the book: - the
foundations of Educational Sloyd - debates, controversy and rival
factions - key case studies in Finland and Iceland - the lasting
legacy of Sloyd education. This fascinating and comprehensive
historical exploration will be of interest to scholars and
researchers in the areas of technology education, comparative
education and the history of education.
