Pedagogical Academy of Vienna
The Pedagogical Academy of Vienna (Austrian German: Pädagogische Akademie der Stadt Wien) was the long-term predecessor institution of the Vienna University College of Teacher Education (Pädagogische Hochschule Wien).[1] Located in Vienna's 10th district, first in Kundmanngasse, as of the mid-1920s in Grenzackerstrasse, the institution has seen expansions since its founding in 1886[2] after many decades of calls for better education of primary and secondary school teachers.[3]
Interwar period
After World War I, the pedagogical reform movement of Otto Glöckel, member of the Social Democratic provincial government began its comprehensive school reform legislation and implementation process under Otto Glöckel.[4] Glöckel instituted a compulsory four-semester course for teachers "against the opposition of the Christian-Social Party ("gegen den Widerstand der christlichsozialen Opposition"). Glöckel used the Pedagogical Academy (then: Pedagogical Institute of the City of Vienna) in conjunction with University of Vienna departments for the improvement of the training of the Viennese teachers, with novel pedagogical concepts and a pedagogical research library.[2]
Pedagogical innovations
This institution has played an important role in the professionalization of pedagogy in the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy, Central and Eastern Europe and the Republic of Austria more generally.[5] Not only in the context of Austria's fascist years, 1934 — 1945 (1938 — 1945 under the Third Reich), the institution managed to maintain some forms of intellectual freedom, especially from 1934 to 1938, when at Austrian universities these were either wholly curtailed or at least limited.[6] From 1923 to 1934 the institution collaborated with the Department of Psychology at Vienna University and had by the early 1930s reached international acclaim.[7][8] Karl Buehler was actively involved in the institute's development in the 1920s and 1930s.[9]
