Hogan University of Alaska Fairbanks Bertram C. Bruce University of Illinois Progressive education, though its meaning be contested, is the basic idea that schools should be agents of democracy. To reform society, we must reform the schools. The converse is also true: Change in schooling is realizable only to the extent that society progresses. Thus, progressive education entails not merely progressive methods for individual learners, but education for a progressive society. Growing out of a period of rapid social, economic, demographic, and political change in the early 20th century–with an influx of millions of immigrants and a move toward a more urban, industrial economy–the United States version of progressive education arose as the belief that schooling needs to be solidly grounded in the idea of democracy as the idea of ―associated living" or a "conjoint communicated experience‖ (Dewey, 1916/2008, p. 93). This idea requires an appreciation for diversity as both a crucial element for democratic life and a resource for learning, as well as the goal of fostering a "critical, socially engaged intelligence‖ (Miller, 1997, para. 1). Similar ideas have developed in other regions and other times as the articles in this series of Special Issues demonstrate. The future, if nothing else, is about hope–hope for individuals to thrive within the flourishing of global societies and the environment. Thus the articles in this "Future‖ issue have a strong forward-looking and hopeful aspect. Yet, this hope is grounded in concrete experiences set against the background

  • Progressive Education 2012
    A History of Progressive Education Title Slide History of Progressive Education in Winnetka We are so glad to talk with you this morning about Progressive Education. It is our district’s philosophy. It is our passion. It is our guiding principal as we teach your children each and every day. As we gathered information for this presentation, we borrowed generously from Gazette articles by Susan Whitcomb, William Meuer and Jan Tubergen as well as the “Philosophy in Brick” display co- authored by our very own Eva Tarini! Education has always been important to the Winnetka community. To understand the foundation of our schools - progressive education - it is important to start at the beginning. 1 Room School House It is October 1, 1859. A one-room schoolhouse has just opened on the southeast corner of Maple and Elm. The teacher was paid $20 a month and taught 25 students, which was one quarter of the population. She taught all ages and subjects as well as lit the fire in the morning and swept the floors at night. Mostly likely, her pupils were children of newly-arrived immigrants who did not speak English. Desks bolted in a Row The curriculum was based on the Chicago Public Schools, which was traditional schooling consisting of rote learning – “lockstep” with all children marching through subject textbooks all together in class. The environment and form of education was so rigid, with the teacher leading drills and hearing recitations, that even the desks were bolted to the floor. If students misbehaved, they were harshly punished. Industrialization At this same time, after the end of the Civil War, the United States was experiencing rapid industrialization and undergoing the transition from an agricultural to an urbanized society.

  • CONTROL of the CURRICULUM and the COMPETENCE By
    CONTROLOF THE CURRICULUMAND THE COMPETENCE OF TEACHERS by Alan Scott Carson Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Philosophy of Education Institute of Education, University of London January 1980 f7 Abstract The question of who ought to have control of the curriculum was dormant a issue poked alive by a succession educational ideologues, government commissions and concerned segments of the public, since the 1960s. For the free school movement, community education movement, Plowden Report, Great Debate and Taylor Report each had recommendations for who ought to determine the aims, content and methods of curriculum - an issue that in earlier days had been of rather less concern than the matter of what ought to be on the curriculum. The most frequently supported contenders for control of the curriculum are students, parents, the teaching profession, educational experts, the state or some form of participatory arrangement that would include some or all of these. What is of particular interest to the philosopher in this are the lines of justification that can be offered for these potential decision-makers. There are, of course, different sorts of argument, for example moral and political justifications. But fundamental is the issue of competence. If we are concerned about the quality of education we provide children, we must know who is the most competent to determine curriculum. This thesis considers the question 'Who is most competent to control the curriculum? ', and in doing so takes, one by one, the various potential decision-makers and considers from the point of view of competence the case that can be made in their favour.

  • American Educators Visit Soviet Schools, 1925–1929
    50 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation ARTICLES / ARTICLES The “Educational Laboratory”: American Educators Visit Soviet Schools, 1925–1929 Hannah Lindsay Rudderham University of Ottawa ABSTRACT Progressive educators who travelled to the Soviet Union in the 1920s were often enthusiastic about the schools they visited, despite the fact that early Soviet educational reform had been chaotic and largely unsuccessful. The accounts of five such visitors, John Dewey, Scott Nearing, Lucy L.W. Wilson, Carleton Washburne, and George S. Counts are examined here. They show that this discrepancy between perception and reality was not the result of naivety or even self- censorship. Rather, I argue that the progressive education movement’s utopian outlook was a key factor in these educators’ reception of Soviet schools, enabling them to recognize serious shortcomings, while maintaining they were among the most important schools in the world. In their orientation to the future, they viewed Soviet schools as a laboratory, whose findings could advance the cause of the broader progressive education movement. RÉSUMÉ Les éducateurs progressistes qui se sont rendus en Union soviétique dans les années 1920 étaient souvent enthousiasmés par leurs visites dans les écoles, malgré le fait que les premières réformes éducatives soviétiques aient été largement chaotiques et infructueuses. Les récits de cinq de ces visiteurs, John Dewey, Scott Nearing, Lucy L. W. Wilson, Carleton Washburne et George S. Counts sont étudiés ici. Ces derniers démontrent que le décalage entre les percep- tions et la réalité ne découlait pas de la naïveté ni même de l’auto-censure. La vision utopique du mouvement éducatif progressiste était plutôt le facteur-clé de cette façon qu’avaient les éducateurs de percevoir les écoles soviétiques, leur permettant d’en reconnaître les grandes imperfections tout en maintenant le fait qu’elles comptaient parmi les plus importantes écoles du monde.

  • Ideology and Reception of Textbooks Under Italian Fascism
    CHILDREN’S UTOPIA / FASCIST UTOPIA: IDEOLOGY AND RECEPTION OF TEXTBOOKS UNDER ITALIAN FASCISM A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sylvia Tamara Hakopian August 2017 Copyright © 2017 Sylvia Tamara Hakopian All Rights Reserved CHILDREN’S UTOPIA / FASCIST UTOPIA: IDEOLOGY AND RECEPTION OF TEXTBOOKS UNDER ITALIAN FASCISM Sylvia Tamara Hakopian, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 ABSTRACT Capitalizing on children’s “extraordinary ability to learn,” Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini decreed an order to issue five elementary school textbooks, known as the Libro unico dello Stato in 1926. Reaching across Italy’s geographic and multicultural barriers, the purpose of this state-issued textbook was to standardize Italian schooling and create a unified body of Fascist subjects. Yet, Fascist Italy’s new curricula proved anything but uniform, as the regime issued two distinct rural and urban editions of the Libro unico between 1929 and 1944 following Mussolini’s decree. Exploring tensions within the regime’s ideas on nationalism in a study that combines literary, theoretical, and historical analyses, my dissertation, Children’s Utopia / Fascist Utopia: Ideology and Reception of Textbooks under Italian Fascism, argues that the Libro unico served purposefully to stratify and not unify Italy’s student body at the primary school. Approaching my study of the regime’s education reforms, pedagogic manuals, and scholastic reading material through an Althusserian framework, my work diverges from the issues which current scholarship has tended to focus on (i.e. militarism, Aryanism, questione meridionale) and in this way offers a new perspective on Fascist cultural history.
