What is Friedrich Froebel: interpolation, extrapolation about?
Fredrich Froebel was a scientist, both in instinct and in training, and his life coincided with an important and dynamic period of scientific growth. I take this opportunity to delve both into some history and futurology to examine the heritage and legacy of his work. The usual of interpolation is of reading into data: where there exist some consistent trends within a broad set of data then the reader can reasonably infer the value of intervening points, to 'read between the dots.' Here, I explore known features of Froebel's scientific life and then readinterpretbetween the lines. Extrapolations, in turn, are inferences made beyond the data, surmises drawn from datum points already established. This is 'informed speculation'. In the latter part of the paper, I run with some of Froebel's seminal ideas into the near future, peering forward for issues in science education that might plausibly have Froebelian antecedents.
