Classical Pedagogy
Classical pedagogy is an educational approach that emphasizes the teaching of foundational knowledge and skills through structured methods. It often involves the study of classical texts, languages, and the arts, aiming to cultivate critical thinking and moral character in students. This method is rooted in the traditions of ancient Greece and Rome, where education focused on rhetoric, logic, and philosophy.
In classical pedagogy, the curriculum is typically divided into three stages: the trivium, which includes grammar, logic, and rhetoric, and the quadrivium, which covers arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. This framework encourages a deep understanding of subjects and promotes lifelong learning.
