A teaching method, tradition or field of study grounded in a specific historical origin or philosophical stance, read today largely for the tradition it represents rather than as a contemporary instructional-design or curriculum-standards framework: classical rhetorical exercises (controversia, suasoria), named historical movements and schools (the Oswego Movement, the Carden Method, the Paideia Proposal, the Project Method, the curriculum of the Waldorf schools, Pestalozzi's object lessons), the French didactics tradition (the didactic contract and the theory of didactical situations, both developed by Guy Brousseau), and named fields and stances with an explicit philosophical or historical grounding (comparative education, cultural literacy, philosophy education, currere, institutional pedagogy, the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm, Marte Meo, and the plain didactic method itself).
