What does «Educación progresiva» mean in Spanish?
- Progressive education is a pedagogical movement that began in the late 19th century and has persisted in various forms to the present, when it is showing a popular resurgence as an alternative to the essay-oriented instruction legislated in the "No Child Left Behind" education funding law. The term "progressive" was used to distinguish this education from the traditional curriculum of the 19th century, which was rooted in classical college preparation and strongly differentiated by socioeconomic status. In contrast, progressive education is rooted in current experience, has a more democratic perspective, and looks to the future. Most progressive education programs have these qualities in common: - emphasis on learning by doing - hand on projects, experiential learning - emphasis on learning by doing - emphasis on learning by doing.
