Abstract

Progressive education is normally associated with activity in the classroom, and has thus been thought of mainly in connection with curriculum and with teaching method. This chapter tries to consider progressive education more widely, to look not just at its pedagogy, but at its context, motivating philosophy and strategies for gaining influence — as well as examining the modifications that these have undergone in the course of time.
