The educational system and philosophy developed by Johann Friedrich Herbart, emphasizing structured lesson plans, apperception, and moral character development.
From Herbart + '-ism' (system/doctrine suffix). Developed in early 19th century Germany and spread internationally, influencing modern teacher training and curriculum design.
Herbartianism shaped how teachers are trained worldwide—his five-step lesson plan (preparation, presentation, association, generalization, application) became the template for lesson planning that teachers still use today.
