Librería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the new approaches to education championed by Progressive reformers in early 1900's America. It explores the tension between champions of traditional education that was rigorous and focused on rote memorization and discipline and Progressive educators who favored a more hands-on, experiential approach that emphasized creativity and critical thinking. The book reviews how this tension played out through the stories of the author's ancestors and his exploration of his grandmother's teaching career and the evolution of the American school system. Through this lens, the author argues that the stress and pressure placed on teachers and students today is a result of the failure to fully embrace the Progressive reforms of a century earlier and that schools would greatly benefit from revisiting these ideas.
