The Informatorium "The School of Infancy" by Comenius is probably the first treatise on the development and training of infants and children in the family during the first six years of life. Although this year 360 years will elapse since its first edition, the ideas of this work are of topical interest and are inspiring even today. This applies e.g. to the prenatal development, the relationship between biological maturing and training, the necessity to avoid forceful pedantic control as well as excessive permissiveness, the necessity to supply adequate sensory and emotional stimuli at a very early age, the necessity to support all natural activities of the child while taking care of his safety, maturity and readiness for school, emphasis on fundamental values of life, etc. Comenius proved himself a sensitive psychologist who understood the specificity of thinking and sensations of children, long before developmental psychology was established as a science.
夸美纽斯的《幼儿学校》信息馆可能是关于婴幼儿在家庭中生命最初六年的发育与培养的第一部专著。尽管自其第一版问世至今已有360年,但这部著作的思想仍具有现实意义,即便在今天也能给人以启发。例如,这适用于产前发育、生物成熟与培养之间的关系、避免强制迂腐控制以及过度纵容的必要性、在幼儿早期提供充足感官和情感刺激的必要性、在照顾孩子安全、成熟度和入学准备的同时支持孩子所有自然活动的必要性、对生命基本价值的强调等等。早在发展心理学成为一门科学之前,夸美纽斯就证明了自己是一位敏锐的心理学家,他理解儿童思维和感觉的特殊性。
