Progressivism most accurately reflects my views on education.
I believe the curriculum should be altered based on the needs and desires of
the students. Students learn best through experience, rather than lecture.
Teachers should give the students activities and lessons which have meaning to
their lives outside the classroom. Education should focus on the whole child, bettering
the children to become intelligent problem solvers. While it is difficult to
develop the curriculum around students’ interests and questions, since such a
heavy emphasis is placed on testing, children are more interested in a topic
when it becomes relatable.
