Pestalozzian, a. (n.)|pɛstəˈlɒtsɪən| [f. surname Pestalozzi + -an.] Of or pertaining to the system of elementary education introduced by Jean Henri Pestalozzi (1746–1827), a Swiss educational reformer, who held the chief end of education to be the development of the faculties in natural order, the perceptive powers being the first to be developed. For this he made much use of object-lessons.
