Relating to the educational philosophy and theories of Johann Friedrich Herbart, a 19th-century pedagogue who emphasized apperception and moral development in teaching.
From Johann Friedrich Herbart (1776-1841), German philosopher + '-ian' (adjective suffix). His educational method became influential in teacher training and progressive education movements.
Herbart was way ahead of his time—he believed teachers should understand how students' minds work and build lessons on what they already know, an idea that sounds obvious now but was revolutionary in the 1800s.
