Long shot. I’m not a historian of pedagogy, but I’m trying to trace the idea of children being predisposed/inclined (natural abilities) towards certain subjects. For instance, Latin, some thinkers say there’s no point forcing children disinclined towards Latin to spend a lot of time on Latin, but instead let them focus on what they’re inclined towards. What is the history of this idea in pedagogy? When and where does it appear first?

Student centered learning really got formalized pedagogically by Piaget and Dewey amongst others but that will give you a good start in your research.

@mazdam @leifhammer @ASECS @histodons Ah yes, Rousseau's Noble Savage vs the corruption of civilization theory. That fuelled a LOT of thought for a very long time.
