S・ウィルダースピンのクラスルーム, 運動場, ギャラリーとその系譜

Abstract

The aim of this study is to clarify a class room, a playground and a gallery in the educational theory written by Samuel Wilderspin and to investigate the roots of them with the research in some old educational entities in Scotland, such as the New Institution of Formation of Character, the University of Edinburgh, the High School of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Academy. At the High School of Edinburgh, the word of ‘class' emerged in 1644 and class rooms existed in the old building built in 1777. Furthermore, in 1764, a gallery could be seen at the anatomy theatre in the University of Edinburgh. Since then, a gallery had built in a class room for a lecture, like a simultaneous education, which enabled a professor to teach a lot of students at once.
