Description - New Progressivism by Peter Silcock
This text stakes the case for a progressivism which can generate effective and manageable school curricula, contribute to raising standards and meet the educational needs of a rapidly changing society. Many useful things that progressivism has to offer (child-centred approaches, flexibility of response, negotiated and democratic classroom organization) have been swept aside in the march of traditionalist policy. Taking robust theories of developmental psychology derived from the work of Swiss psychologist Piaget and Russian developmentalist Vygotsky, Silcock reasserts the need to explore the positive potential of progressivism, and looks at how progressivist approaches can help teachers to improve their classrooms.
