Education for a Changing Civilization : Three Lectures Delivered on the Luther Kellogg Foundation at Rutgers University, 1926

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Education for a Changing Civilization' is a seminal work by renowned educational theorist William Heard Kilpatrick, exploring the critical intersection between a rapidly evolving modern society and the adaptive needs of the classroom. Derived from a series of influential lectures delivered in 1926, this text examines how the fundamental transformations of the industrial age necessitate a dramatic shift in pedagogical philosophy.Kilpatrick argues that traditional, static models of instruction are insufficient for a world defined by scientific advancement and social flux. He outlines the core tenets of progressive education, advocating for a shift toward teaching students how to think critically rather than merely memorizing facts. By emphasizing social problem-solving and the cultivation of adaptable, democratic citizens, the work highlights the school's role as a vital social institution.A foundational text in 20th-century educational thought, 'Education for a Changing Civilization' remains essential reading for those interested in the history of pedagogy and the philosophical debate over the purpose of schooling. Kilpatrick's vision of a life-centered curriculum continues to offer profound insights into the challenges of preparing learners for the complexities of a changing world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
