Várkonyi Hildebrand és a Polgári Iskolai Tanárképző Főiskola Szegeden

My following study is about the establisment of the State Civic School Teacher’s Training College in Szeged. It also contains information about the establishment of our country’s first Educational-Psychological Instute, and of it’s first (catholic) headmaster’s, Hildebrand Várkonyi’s work. The University of Szeged was put together of protestant teachers from the university in Kolozsvár in 1921. The Religious and Educational Board helped increase the attendance of the Faculty of Liberal Arts, but also decreased the protestant nature of it. The Religious and Educational Board also achieved this by moving the state, and catholic teacher’s training college from Budapest to Szeged and by duplicating the departments of the remaining protestant Faculties of Liberal Arts. Várkonyi’s pedagogy and psychology got built into the culture of civic schools.
