THE HISTORY OF THE HUNGARIAN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION AND ITS EFFECT ON TODAY’S ROMANIAN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: The quality of education, innovation and the application of the alternative methods play a particularly important role in today’s Hungarian kindergartens in Romania. The aim of my research is to identify and present the first Hungarian kindergartens, to describe their development, changes, how they gained elements of pedagogical reform until the end of the First World War. I mention the difficulties encountered during the foundation of kindergartens and their operation. I give an overview about the social and political background, and the way they affected the operation of kindergartens, the methods, contents used by teachers, and the preservation of the institutions. The endeavors of the pedagogical reforms at the turn of the century and their effects on preschooling also play an important role in the better understanding of the development of kindergartens.
