This book delves into how progressivist thinking transformed the rhetoric and the structure of schooling during the first half of the twentieth century, with echoes that reverberate strongly today, and investigates historical meanings of progressive education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Theodore Michael Christou closely examines the case of interwar Ontario, where the entire landscape of public education, including curricula and avenues to post-secondary study, were radically transformed over just twenty years. Christou contextualizes this reformist thinking in light of a social, political, and economic climate of change, which seemed to demand schools that could actively relate learning to the real world. Through its examination of educational journals published throughout the interwar period and previously unexplored archival sources, this book illuminates how the present structure of curricula and schooling were achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: What Was Progressive Education?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Ontario’s Educational Context in the Interwar Period\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Approaching Progressive Education\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Progressive as Active Learning: Critiques of Rote Scholarship in School\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul style='\"list-style-type:none;\"'\u003e \u003cli\u003eChild Study and Developmental Psychology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSocial Efficiency and Adjustment to Industry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSocial Meliorism and Engagement with Social Ills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Progressive as Individualized Instruction: Critiques of Content-Driven Learning\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul style='\"list-style-type:none;\"'\u003e \u003cli\u003eChild Study and Developmental Psychology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSocial Efficiency and Adjustment to Industry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSocial Meliorism and Engagement with Social Ills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Progressive as Contemporary: Critiques of Learning Correlating Schools and Society\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul style='\"list-style-type:none;\"'\u003e \u003cli\u003eChild Study and Developmental Psychology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSocial Efficiency and Adjustment to Industry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSocial Meliorism and Engagement with Social Ills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Humanists as the Foil to Progressivists: Resistance to Progressivist Reforms in Ontario\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Continuities and Change: Reforming the Curriculum and the War’s Impact on Progressivist Rhetoric, 1937–1942\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: Progressive in a Parallel Way\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppendices\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppendix A.
