Earlier we know how important school for human education at an early age and continue. But as time passes on every teaching-learning process in school that a teacher never talks about the origin of school, where it came from and where the first school was founded, I still wonder now, because I have never found a teacher to give an eye to it.
So in some time ago, I was browsing and surfing in various educational websit. After reading some of the articles I got carried away to learn about the origin of the world's first education and the first school in the world. And I found it in several places.
Before going to the point, I want to explain a little about school, WHAT IS SCHOOL?
School is an institution designed for the teaching of students / mu Rid under the supervision of teachers. Most countries have a formal education system, which is generally mandatory. In this system, students progress through a series of schools.
The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the Regional section below), but generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who have been me nyelesaikan basic education.
In addition to core schools, students in certain countries may also have access and attend schools both before and after primary and secondary education. School childhood or pre-school to provide schools some children were very young (usually aged 3-5 years).
Universities, vocational schools, colleges or seminaries may be available after high school. A school may also be dedicated to one particular area, such as an economy school or a dance school. Alternative schools can provide kuriku lum and non-traditional methods.
The first school in the world?
I can not be sure even unsure of some of the opinions that say about the first established school in the world, I am mistaken. And in my opinion it does not have enough evidence to fit on this post.
However, if for a discussion of the "School of World's Oldest" I still can bepefikir normal and this glance I already knew before even with a different story. Well! Here is the world's oldest school bebepara:
A. Ancient Egypt
Historically, modern schools were first established in Ancient Egypt from about 3000 to 500 BC (BC). But the views of the learning model is still very different from today, because the learning process when it is still very simple. The learning activities at that time were held in an open field that resembled an open campaign or meeting today.
B. Ancient China
The oldest school in China, first introduced in the Han Dynasty circa 143-141 BC! Was founded by Governor named Wen Wang. Chengdu Shishi given name meaning "Stone House" because the construction materials used for this school of rock. Chengdu Shishi High School was scorched by a fire but renovated again by the Ming Dynasty in 194 after Masehi.pendidikan formal (teaching) is expected to appear during the Zhou Dynasty rule, ie, between years 770-256 BC. Confucius, Mensius, Laotzu, was among the first teachers in Ancient China.
C. Ancient Greek
In Ancient Greece, home to Western Philosophy, the Shopis began teaching in Athens around 400 BC. Socrates, who died 399 BC, may be the first to say that "true knowledge existed within everyone and needed to be brought to consciousness". With this proposition Socrates's approach is to ask probing questions to trigger the thoughts of his students to understand the meaning of life, truth, and justice in a more in-depth (inside out method).
After Socrates, Plato founded the Academy in 387 BC, and the next 52 years Aristotle founded his own school called Lyceum, also in Athens. Then in the same century, Isocrates develop educational methods for preparing the orators who work in government offices. He is believed to have directly influenced Roman educational specialists such as Cicero, the author of De Oratore, and Quintillian, who shared the lessons speci fi cally on the basis of phasing in early AD. In primary school stage taught about reading and writing. Then in the secondary school the Greek slaves (called pedagogues) were assigned to teach Latin and Greek grammar to the Roman children of that time (especially men).
D. Ancient India
Following after growing world of education in ancient Egypt other nations did not ketinggalan.Di Indian School was first established around 1200 BC with educational materials containing the teachings of the Vedas, huan Pengeta Sciences, grammar and philosophy.
According to history
Early
In early AD, the Jews had given instruction in a place called the Synagogue. Primarily taught is the Book of the Law of Moses. And as the Christianity developed, the Roman Church later also used a building called the church as its main teaching ground for Scripture and for preparing religious leaders teaching in the church.
At that time women still very few get the opportunity to participate in learning with boys her age.The Early Development of Islam
Around the X-XI century, Islamic education from Arabs began to affect the Western education system. Through the interaction of Muslims with Western educators, especially in North Africa and Spain, the West began to learn from Muslims about mathematics, natural sciences, medicine, and philosophy.
The number system that became the foundation of arithmetic in the Western world is believed some people as the most important contribution of Islamic education from Arab it.
