you relate that stand of progressivists to the current educational system of our country?
What are the issues branching out from this?

Progressivism is a multi-faceted philosophy advocating progress and change.

Progressives work toward what they hope will be better conditions, implement what they
consider more to enlightened ideas and new experimental methods to facilitate change.
Progressivism is the support for or advocacy of social reform. It is based on the idea of
progress, which asserts that advancements in science, technology, economic
development and social organization are vital to the improvement of the human
condition.

There are four goals to be achieved in progressivism these are:

1. Protect social welfare

2. Promote moral improvement
3. Create economic reform
4. Foster efficiency

Progressivist believe that individuality, progress, and change are fundamental to one’s
education. Believing that people learn best from what they consider most relevant to
their lives, progressivists center their curricula on the needs, experiences, interest and
abilities of students.

Progressivism is an educational movement that students learn through their own

experiences. Progressivism revolves around the student’s needs, including teaching
students to be good citizens as well as good learners, a concept known as focusing on
the whole child.

learn by doing. It is a response to traditional methods of teaching. It is defined as
educational movement which gives more value to experience than formal learning. It is
based more experiential learning that concentrate on the development of child’s
