Progressive Education Movement

Progressive educators who travelled to the Soviet Union in the 1920s were often enthusiastic about the schools they visited, despite the fact that early Soviet educational reform had been chaotic and largely unsuccessful. The accounts of five such visitors, John Dewey, Scott Nearing, Lucy L.W. Wilson, Carleton Washburne, and George S. Counts are examined here. They show that this discrepancy between perception and reality was not the result of naivety or even self-censorship. Rather, I argue that the progressive education movement’s utopian outlook was a key factor in these educators’ reception of Soviet schools, enabling them to recognize serious shortcomings, while maintaining they were among the most important schools in the world. In their orientation to the future, they viewed Soviet schools as a laboratory, whose findings could advance the cause of the broader progressive education movement.

Is the Experiential Education Movement doomed to an early death like its predecessor the Progressive Education Movement? The author argues that heresies evident in the literature of the Experiential Education Movement militate against its survival.

Procura reconstituir a trajetória de Cecília Meireles, uma das pioneiras da Escola Nova, focalizando três estações por ela percorridas cujo eixo principal é sua tese O Espírito Victorioso, com a qual se submete ao concurso público para ocupar a cátedra de Literatura Vernácula da Escola Normal do Distrito Federal. O nome próprio Cecília Meireles representa a forma socialmente instituída que lhe assegura a constância através do tempo e a unidade através dos espaços sociais, que são a manifestação de sua individualidade nos mais diversos campos: educacional, jornalístico e literário, isto é, em todas as suas histórias possíveis. A moldura do movimento da Educação Nova que se desejava implantar foi, em parte, obra plástica de Cecília Meireles. Abstract This article is intended to reconstruct the trajectory of a pioneer of the Progressive Education Movement in Brazil, whose name is Cecília Meireles. It highlights the three seasons that she went through, which the main axis is her thesis on The Victorious Spirit. This thesis made it possible for her to go through the examination to occupy the chair of Vernacular Literature at Escola Normal do Distrito Tederai. The proper name Cecília Meireles portrays the institutionalized social form that assures her constancy through the years and the unity through the social spaces, which are the manifestation of her individuality in various fields: Educational, Journalistic and Literary; that is to say, in all her possible histories. The Progressive Education movement's molding, intended to be implanted, was, in part, Cecília Meireles ' plastic art.

Le nom propre Cecília Meireles représente la forme socialement instituée que lui assure la continuité dans le temps et l'unité à travers les espaces sociaux, qui sont les manifestations de son individualité dans plusieurs champs: l'éducatif le journalistique et le littéraire, c 'est-à-dire, dans toutes ses histoires possibles. L'encadrement de l'Ecole Nouvelle qu'on voulait implanter a été, en partie, une oeuvre plastique de Cecília Meireles.

<p>The reason for this publication has been our interest in educational issues on the one hand, and, on the other, in the philosophy of education of J. Dewey. This resulted in further approaching the philosophy of Pragmatism and considering its influence on J. Dewey’s philosophy of education. At the same time, we have sought the influences on his work from Aristotelian thought. In this direction, we show that the American philosopher considered the philosophy of pragmatism as applicable to a democratic education, which is also considered to be moral education.</p>
