As you all know, we suffer today under the materialistic view of the world. This perspective demands not only that we only accept material things as being valid. It also insists that we trace everything in the world back to the activities of atoms. It is unimportant whether we think of those atoms in the way people thought of them in the 1880s, that is, as small elastic particles made up of some unknown material, or whether we think of them as people do today—as electrical forces or electrical centers of force. What is important in materialism is material itself, and when the tools of materialism are transferred to our view of the spirit and soul, we think of them as being composed of tiny particles and depending upon the activities of those particles. Today we have come so far that we are no longer aware that we are working with hypotheses. Most people believe it is a proven scientific fact that atoms form the basis of phenomena in the external world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"X.

Wir verlegen uns darauf, daß ja die Außenwelt von dem Menschen verlangt eine synthetisierende Tätigkeit, und das hat, ich möchte sagen, aus einem gewissen pädagogischen Instinkt heraus, der aber einseitig ist, dazu geführt, hauptsächlich das Synthetisieren zu berücksichtigen, nicht so sehr das Analysieren. Das hat praktisch eine große Bedeutung. Denn sehen Sie, gerade wenn man das entfalten will, worauf ich zum Beispiel gestern aufmerksam gemacht habe, auszugehen in der Sprachlehre von dem Dialekt, da zeigt es sich, wie man notwendig hat, zu analysieren. Das Kind hat Fertiges im Dialekt, das es uns bringt. Indem wir das Kind Sätze sprechen lassen, müssen wir aus dem Fertigen mit dem Kinde die Sätze dann analysieren, um aus den Sätzen heraus die Gesetzmäßigkeit der Sprachbildung zu entwickeln. Wir müssen analysieren. Aber wir können die analytische Tätigkeit im Unterricht noch viel weiter ausbauen, viel weiter treiben. Ich mache Sie da vielleicht auf etwas aufmerksam, was Ihnen ja in der oder in jener Form bereits hinlänglich entgegengetreten ist. Sie werden aber sehen, daß wir gerade von diesem Gesichtspunkte aus die Sache weiter ausbauen müssen. Es handelt sich darum, daß man auch zum Beispiel bei dem Erklären der Buchstaben nicht in erster Linie von einer synthetischen Betätigung, sondern von einer analytischen Betätigung ausgeht. Sagen wir zum Beispiel, ich lasse das Kind ein Wort sprechen, das Wort Fisch, und dann schreibe ich ihm einfach auf die Tafel hin — indem ich darauf zähle, daß ich mit ihm, so wie ich es geschildert habe, Zeichnen getrieben habe -, ich schreibe ihm, bevor es irgend etwas von einem Buchstaben weiß, das Wort Fisch hin. Ich versuche sogar, dieses ganze Wortbild, ohne daß ich es in Buchstaben zunächst gliedere, einzuprägen. Ich versuche sogar, das Kind, nachdem es lange genug eben das Zeichnen getrieben hat, so wie ich es auseinandergesetzt habe, das Wort nachbilden zu lassen, ohne daß es zunächst eine Ahnung hat davon, daß da ein F-I-SCH drinnen ist. Einfach dasjenige, was ich auf der Tafel habe, das soll das Kind nachahmen. Und bevor ich zu den Buchstaben übergehe, versuche ich sogar öfter, das Kind fertige Worte nachmalen zu lassen. Und dann versuche ich die Analyse. Dann versuche ich, das Kind aufmerksam darauf zu machen, wie es das Wort beginnt: F, analysiere das F heraus, analysiere dann das I heraus und so weiter. Also es ist etwas, was einfach der menschlichen Natur entgegenkommt, daß man nicht von den Buchstaben ausgeht, sie synthetisch zusammensetzt zu Worten, sondern daß man vom ganzen Worte ausgeht und analysierend zu den Buchstaben geht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":434,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/301/1920-05-05/p006"}],"english":["GA 301/1920-05-05/p012","GA 301/1920-05-05/p013","GA 301/1920-05-05/p014"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":434,"en_words":389,"ratio":0.9,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.91,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5311,"original_word_count":5848,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Ruth Pusch and Gertrude Teutsch","identified_edition":"AP2001","book_title":"The Renewal of Education","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA301/English/AP2001/19200505d01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
