Abstract

[This chapter explores education in the early twentieth century by using pragmatism to present progressivism and its offshoot, social reconstructionism. Not content to examine the father of progressive education (John Dewey) this chapter also looks at the grandfathers of progressive education (G. Stanley Hall and Francis Parker). It separates out progressive education into three areas: child-centered progressivism, administrative progressivism, and social reconstructionism. It concludes with a discussion on the educational legacies of this period and recommendations for further reading.]
