Is Progressive Education Obsolete: A Reconsideration.

Beineke, John A.

Teaching Education, v5 n2 p175-81 Spr-Sum 1993

Van Til's 1962 article on whether or not progressive education is obsolete was a response to charges that the new education as espoused by Dewey was outmoded. This paper reexamines Van Til's article and suggests a prognostication similar to Van Til's could be ventured today that another period of progressivism is inevitable. (SM)
