Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 1989.

This study provides a comprehensive account of the origins and development of the elementary school system in the state of Bavaria from 1800 to 1918. It examines the aims and policies of government authorities and school reformers as well as the actual practice of popular education. Continuity and change in the areas of curriculum, method, attendance, school discipline, and schoolbooks are traced over the course of the century, and a social history of the elementary schoolteachers is also included. The study concludes that a dialectic of constraint and liberation characterized popular education in Bavaria, with the constraining aspect being predominant throughout most of the century. The ruling elites, who imposed compulsory schooling on the people from above, sought primarily to use the school as a means for exercising social control and inculcating the values of obedience, political loyalty, and deference to social superiors. Due to a variety of reasons--the relative autonomy of the school system, institutional deficiencies, parental opposition, and the unintended "enabling" aspect inherent in schooling--the elementary school did not, however, actually achieve the high degree of social control which the authorities desired. In the course of analyzing everyday school practice, the dissertation also describes and compares the variety of school types which emerged and competed with one another for pedagogical supremacy between 1800 and 1918: the "old school" of the pre-reform era, the enlightenment Volksschule, the Germanic school of the 1830s and 40s, the conservative catechism school of the 1850s and 60s, the learning school of the post-1870 period, and finally the pupil-centered activity school of the pre-war years. The enthusiastic involvement of the teachers in the 1848 revolution and the gradual improvement in their social status are examined in detail, as is the emergence of secular female schoolteachers in the years after 1870. Finally, an assessment of the effectiveness of the school and its relative strength within the educational configuration composed of household, church and school is offered. In the period 1800-1870 the school was weaker than the other two components, while in the following half-century its influence and authority relative to the family and church increased.Subjects--Topical Terms:
