Quote
Progressive educators typically emphasize learning by doing, contextual learning relevant to students’ real life experiences, critical thinking, deep understanding rather than rote memory, group work and collaboration rather than competitions, evaluation based on products rather than tests, and the fostering of social responsibility, democratic attitudes, and concern for social justice. They commonly talk about “educating the whole person” and about “student focused” as opposed to simply subject-focused education.
