To Unschoolers, Learning Is As Natural As Breathing Did you know that a growing percentage of home schoolers are becoming unschoolers? The unschooling movement is founded on the principle that children learn best when they pursue their own natural curiosities and interests. Without bells, schedules, and rules about what to do and when, the knowledge they gain through mindful living and exploration is absorbed more easily and enthusiastically. Learning is a natural, inborn impulse, and the world is rich with lessons to be learned and puzzles to be solved. Successful unschooling parents know how to stimulate and direct their children's learning impulse. Once you read this book, so will you!

The Unschooling Handbook

Für Freilerner ist Lernen so natürlich wie Atmen Wussten Sie, dass es immer mehr Freilerner gibt? Freilernen - im Englischen Unschooling genannt - basiert auf dem Prinzip, dass Kinder am besten lernen, wenn sie ihren eigenen natürlichen Interessen und ihrer Neugier folgen können. Ohne Pausenglocken, Stundenpläne und Vorgaben wird das Wissen, das sie durch aufmerksames Leben und Entdecken erwerben, einfacher und nachhaltiger aufgenommen. Lernen ist ein natürlicher, angeborener Impuls und die Welt ist voller Wissen, das gelernt werden will und voller Rätsel, die es zu lösen gilt. Erfolgreiche Freilerner-Eltern wissen, wie sie die Lernimpulse ihrer Kinder anregen und ihre Neugier füttern. Wenn Sie dieses Buch gelesen haben, wissen Sie das auch!

Freilernen: Die ganze Welt als Klassenzimmer

Das große Unschooling Handbuch

It is seldom that men begin to muse and sit alone in the twilight until they arrive at the age of fifty, for until that period the cares of the world and the education of their young children engross all their thoughts. Edgar Hastings, our hero, at thirty years of age, was still unmarried, but he had gone through a vast deal of excitement, and the age of musing had been anticipated by twenty years. He was left an orphan at fourteen, with a large income, and the gentleman who had the management of his estates proved faithful, so that when a person of talents and character was wanted to travel with the young man, a liberal recompense was at hand to secure his services. From the age of fourteen to twenty-one he was therefore travelling over Europe; but his education, instead of receiving a check, went on much more advantageously than if he had remained at home, and he became master of all the modern languages in the very countries where they were spoken. The last twelve months of his seven years' tour was spent in England, being stationary in London only during the sitting of Parliament.His talents thus cultivated, and his mind enlarged by liberal travel, he returned to America well worthy the friendship and attention of those who admire and appreciate a character of his stamp. He had not therefore been back more than a year, before his society was courted by some of the best men in the country; but previous to his settling himself into a home, he thought it but proper to travel through his own country also. His old friend, still at his elbow, accompanied him; but at the close of the excursion, which lasted nearly two years, he was taken ill of a fever caught from an exposure near the Lakes, and died after a few days' illness.Edgar Hastings was now entirely alone in the world, and he would have fallen into a deep melancholy, had he not engaged in politics. This occupied him incessantly; and, as his purse was ample and his heart liberally disposed, he found the demands on his time gradually increasing. He had occupations heaped upon him - for rich, disengaged, and willing, everybody demanded his aid; and such were the enthusiasm and generosity of his nature, that no one applied in vain.His first intention, on returning from his tour through his own country, was to improve an estate he had purchased in Pennsylvania, promising himself an amiable and beautiful wife to share his happiness; but politics interfered, and left him no time even for the luxury of musing in the evening. But a man can get weary of politics as well as of any other hard up-hill work; so, at the end of seven years, seeing that the young trees which he had planted were giving shade, and that the house that they were to overshadow was not yet begun, he fell to musing. He wanted something, likewise, to love and protect - so he fell to musing about that. He wished to convert a brisk stream, that fell down the side of a hill opposite to the south end of his grounds, into a waterfall-so he fell to musing about that. He wanted to make an opening through a noble piece of woods that bounded the north side, that he might catch a view of the village steeple-so he fell to mus ing about that. A beautiful winding river lay in front of his estate, the bank of which sloped down to the water's edge; this tranquillizing scene likewise operated on his feelings, so that politics faded away, and his mind became calm and serene. Thus it was, that at thirty years of age he had these fits of abstraction, and he became a muser.

The Homeschooling Handbook

Dünyanın büyük çoğunluğunun hayatına okul olgusunun girişi ancak yüz yılı kapsıyor. Herhalde bu yüzyılda her birimiz yüz bin kere okul kavramını tartışmışızdır. Okulsuzluk, okulun bir alternatifidir. Hepimize başka bir eğitimin mümkün olduğunu gösterir. Çok sağlam argümanlarla donanmıştır. Dünyanın değişik ülkelerinde hayata geçmiştir. Üzerine kitaplar yazılacak kadar deneyim birikmiştir. Okulsuzluğun El Kitabı, eğitimlerini okulsuz yani evde gerçekleştiren öğrencilerin ve onların velilerinin deneyimlerinden hareketle yazılmış bir kitap. Bütün örnekler gerçek ve yaşanmış. Okulsuz eğitimle ilgili okullu olanların kafası karışıkken açıkçası okulsuz öğrencilerin ve velilerin kafaları pek de karışık görünmüyor. Giriş bölümü, okulsuzluk ya da evde eğitim kavramını inceleyerek başlıyor. Ardından tek tek okuma-yazma, tarih, sanat, matematik, yabancı dil ve diğerleri üzerine öğrenme biçimleri ve eğitim materyalleri hakkında ayrıntılı bilgiler paylaşılıyor. “Büyükannem eğitim almamı istedi ve bu nedenle beni okuldan aldı.” diyor okulsuz öğrencilerden biri ve esasında meseleyi tek cümleyle özetlemiş oluyor. Ülkemizde “Eğitim şart!” nidaları, “Haydi Kızlar Okula” kampanyaları, “Köy Enstitüsü” tartışmaları, “İmam Hatipler” kargaşası arasında “Çocukların gerçekten neye ihtiyacı var?” sorusu silikleşip görünmez oluyor. Büyüklerin toplum mühendisliği kaygıları bir müsaade etse de yeni nesillere ihtiyacı olan eğitim verilse. Haydi bunu tartışmaya başlayalım çünkü başka bir eğitim mümkün.
