A jövő iskolája és a múlt emberei
The School of the Future and the Humans of the Past

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes three provocative theses with an eye of the down-to-earth experimental cognitive psychologist towards a recombination of schools and psychology. The key notion is to start from the biologically formed man of the past in improving the schools of the future. Schools have to rely on a more up-to-date developmental psychology. Children’s naive theory formation and the concept of natural pedagogy play a central role here. The cognitive systems involved in the school setting have to be interpreted in the unity of skills and explicit knowledge. With the changes in acquisition contexts, the issues of horizontal transmission and social contacts move to central stage. Finally, regarding motivation systems in the schools, the joy of knowledge has to play a central role.
