Progressive theory states that children have a natural desire to learn and discover things about the world around them which puts them in the perfect situation to learn.]]> 2021-11-24 04:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tclark0121/xxwpwf8q3jtw1613/wish/1909812750 Progressive Principles tclark0121 https://padlet.com/tclark0121/xxwpwf8q3jtw1613/wish/1909825672 Pupils are active rather than passive. Progressives believe that Children are not passive beings who are just waiting for a teacher to stuff their minds with unlimited  information. They believe that students are dynamic beings that naturally want to learn and will learn if they are not frustrated in their learning by adults and authorities who seek to impose their wills and goals upon them.]]> 2021-11-24 04:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tclark0121/xxwpwf8q3jtw1613/wish/1909825672 Progressive Principles tclark0121 https://padlet.com/tclark0121/xxwpwf8q3jtw1613/wish/1909826605 The teacher’s role is that of advisor, guide, and fellow traveler, rather than that of authoritarian and classroom director. Teachers are individuals who will learn with their students as they guide student energies and direct student interests in the learning enterprise. The role of teachers can be seen as that of helping students learn how to learn by themselves, so that they will develop into self-sufficient adults in a changing environment. ]]> 2021-11-24 04:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tclark0121/xxwpwf8q3jtw1613/wish/1909826605 Progressive Principles tclark0121 https://padlet.com/tclark0121/xxwpwf8q3jtw1613/wish/1909827293 The school is a microcosm of the larger society.   Progressives believe that education in schools should be seen in terms of how people are educated and how they learn in the world around them, because meaningful education is life itself and does not strictly happen within the wall of a school.]]> 2021-11-24 04:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tclark0121/xxwpwf8q3jtw1613/wish/1909827293 Progressive Principles tclark0121 https://padlet.com/tclark0121/xxwpwf8q3jtw1613/wish/1909828703 Classroom activity should focus on problem solving rather than on artificial methods of teaching subject matter.

It is a decentralized classroom in which the desks are separated into clusters and space is divided into learning areas.
