====Johann Pestalozzi====

[[Johann Pestalozzi]] (1746–1827), a Swiss educational reformer, emphasized the child rather than the content of the school.<ref name=glover>Glover, J, & Ronning, R. (Ed.). (1987).</ref> Pestalozzi fostered an educational reform backed by the idea that early education was crucial for children, and could be manageable for mothers. Eventually, this experience with early education would lead to a "wholesome person characterized by morality."<ref name=Horlacher>Horlacher, Rebekka (2011). Schooling as a means of popular education: Pestalozzi's method as a popular education experiment. "Paedagogica Historica": 47, 65-75</ref> Pestalozzi has been acknowledged for opening institutions for education, writing books for mother's teaching home education, and elementary books for students, mostly focusing on the kindergarten level. In his later years, he published teaching manuals and methods of teaching.<ref name=Horlacher/>

During the time of [[The Enlightenment]], Pestalozzi's ideals introduced "educationalization". This created the bridge between social issues and education by introducing the idea of social issues to be solved through education. Horlacher describes the most prominent example of this during The Enlightenment to be "improving agricultural production methods."<ref name=Horlacher/>
