Paradigms
“Here we have two competing conceptual schemes […]. Which should prevail? Each has its advantages; each has its special simplicity in its own way. Each, I suggest, deserves to be developed. Each may be said, indeed, to be
12
the more fundamental, though in different senses.” (Quine 1948, “On What There Is”)

„Eines der größten Probleme der Erziehung ist, wie man die Unterwerfung unter dengesetzlichen Zwang mit der Fähigkeit, sich seiner Freiheit zu bedienen, vereinigenkönne. Denn Zwang ist nöthig! Wie cultivire ich die Freiheit bei dem Zwange? Ichsoll meinen Zögling gewöhnen, einen Zwang seiner Freiheit zu dulden, und soll ihn

Developmental Tasks and Education. McKay, 1972.d d t d l f D l t l T k
Robert Havighurst (1900-1991)
DevelopmentalTasks
age dependent model of Developmental Tasks (1948)
The Developmental-task concept occupies middle groundbetween the two opposed theories of education: the theory of freedom – that the child will develope best if
left as free as possible, and
15
the theory of constraint – that the child must learn to become a worthy, responsible adult through
restraints imposed by his society.“ (Havinghurst 1972, S. vi)
A developmental task is midway between an individual need and a societal demand. (Havighurst, [1948] 1972, p. vi)
Earli 2009, Amsterdam [email protected] 28 August, 2009
Havighurst picks up Kants ‘dialectical’ formulation for the problem (cf. Meyer 2007, p. 165)

“A developmental task is a task which arises at or about a certain period in the life of the individual, successful achievement of which leads to his happiness and to success with later tasks, while failure leads to unhappiness in the individual, disapproval by the society , and difficulty with later tasks.” (cited by Trautmann 2004, S. 23)

By placing sense making, competence and identity development in the middle of our diagram, we
17
y p g g, p y p g ,define good instruction in a new way. Experience, in educational setting, allows sense making, this means growth of meaning in the Dewey sense, and growth of meaning means competence and identity development. It is of great importance for success in learning and should receive increased weight in the analysis and evaluation of learning environments and instructionalprocesses. (Meyer 2007, p.167)
