Description:
(Teacher) Jean-Ovide Decroly, a Belgian teacher and psychologist, studied medicine in Ghent and Berlin, with a focus on the effects of toxins and antitoxins on general nutrition. He later worked with mentally handicapped children at a neurological clinic in Brussels. In 1907, he founded The Hermitage School and introduced the "Decroly plan," which emphasizes children's social adaptation based on their biological needs. His pedagogical approach continues to be implemented at the Ecole Decroly in Brussels, influencing education by prioritizing biosocial needs.
