International Handbook of Progressive Education
The International Handbook of Progressive Education engages contemporary debates about the purpose of education, presenting diverse ideas developed within a broadly conceived progressive education movement.It calls for a more critical and dynamic conception of education goals as a necessary element of a healthy society.The scope is global, with contributing authors and examples from around the world.The sweep includes past, present, and future. Even for those who lament its failures, progressive education still seems to be asking the right questions.There is a vision, the progressive impulse, which goes beyond educational practice per se to include inquiry into a conception of the good life for both individuals and society. Because progressivists tend to dispute the status quo and the extent to which it nurtures that good life, there is an underlying critical edge to progressive thinking, one that has sharpened in recent progressive education discourse.The handbook’s inquiry into progressive education starts with a number of intriguing and difficult questions: How has progressive education fared in different contexts?How do progressive methods relate to ideas of constructivist, discovery, problem-based, experiential, and inquiry-based teaching? And do they «work»? If progressive education offers an important alternative, why has it often been ignored, abandoned, or suppressed?What is the relevance of its tenets, methods, and questions in the new information age and in a world facing global changes in environment, politics, religion, language, and every other aspect of society?

Progressive Education for Democratic Society : Smitty! Not g, Dr. Spearman
The American educational system, because it is based in behaviorist rather than progressivist philosophy, has not well-served the development of a citizenry capable of effective participation in the democratic decision-making process, the remedy being the progressivist methods described in the later chapters of Progressive Education for Democratic Society.The mistreatment of mind in schools, historically, is intentional, the consequence being the use of curriculum and methods that are intended to inculcate students in a manufactured truth rather than promote the development of critical thinking skills necessary for assessing the truth value of contents.While this emphasis does not educate students to be critically thoughtful participants in the societal decision-making process, it does pave the way for passive acceptance of an unfair and inequitable economic system, its beneficiaries the few and the wealthy while the masses are kept content and relatively subdued.Progressive educational methods are described and promoted as means for the creation of a sane and humane democratic society.These methods are student-centered, the student the creator of meaningful knowledge developed by treating information analytically in order to discover inherent truth value—this, the basis for effective decision-making as an individual and as a member of a democratic society.Freedom and responsibility are the linchpins of a free and, at the same time, humane society, responsibility leading to voluntary curtailment of freedom, enough so that all may enjoy the benefits of a free society.The book discusses issues of proper and improper authority in order to argue for schools in which students know how to benefit from the proper and challenge the improper.

The Progressive Patriot
What does it mean to be English? What does it mean to be British? Is the cross of St George a proud symbol of a great tradition, or the badge of a neo-Nazi?In a world where British citizens can lay bombs to kill their countrymen, where religious fundamentalism is on the increase and where the BNP are somehow part of the democratic process, what does patriotism actually mean?Our identity can change depending on what company we are in.For example, someone could describe themselves British to one person, Scottish to another and, say, a Londoner to another, and be right every time.But problems arise when someone tries to tell you what you are, based on your skin tone, religion, accent, surname, or whatever.This book is Billy Bragg's urgent, eloquent and passionate response to the events of 7 July 2005, when four bombs tore through a busy morning in London, killing 52 innocent people and injuring many more.A firm believer in toleration and diversity, he felt himself hemmed in by fascists on one side and religious fanatics on the other.The suicide bombers were all British-born and well integrated into our multicultural society.Yet they felt no compunction in murdering and maiming their fellow citizens.Inclusivity is important, but without a sense of belonging to accompany it, what chance social cohesion...But where does a sense of belonging come from? Can it be conferred by a legal document? Is it a matter of blood and soil? Can it be taught? Is it nature or nurture? The Progressive Patriot is a book we all need to read.It pulls no punches in its insights and its radical vision offers a positive hope for a country teetering on the brink of catastrophe.

Elitism : A Progressive Defence
Anti-elitism has become a common staple of media commentary and political rhetoric.But we are taking aim at the wrong enemy. The populist right have diverted public anger away from the real corporate and financial elites and onto those who treat us when we are sick, champion our rights in court, represent our interests in Parliament and create and curate the best literature, art and ideas. This important book argues that the real elites escape scrutiny, while everything that makes our lives worth living becomes 'worthy' and dumbed down.Culture and education have been made to function as merely symbolic arenas of democratisation, but gross inequality remains intact. Liberals have lost their nerve, accepting the anti-elitism slur at face value and worrying that promoting cultural high standards means protecting social privilege.For too long, conservatives have had a monopoly on upholding aesthetic values.But now that they've become ruthless modernisers, it's time for progressives to take on that task.Elitism: A Progressive Defence provides powerful ammunition for the fight, arguing that, rich or poor, beauty and truth belong to us all.

Makerspaces, Innovation and Science Education : How, Why, and What For?
This book provides an overview to a range of theories in science and technology that inform the different ways in which makerspaces can be educative.Makerspaces are an indispensable site for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instruction and pose novel risks and opportunities for STEM instruction.Educators are likely to reach towards activities that have a high degree of engagement, but this might result in observations like 'it looks like fun, but what are they learning?'. Beginning from the question of how we know what we know in science, the author asserts that understanding scientific knowledge requires us to know more than the abstract concepts typically presented in schools.The social and material aspects of knowledge are also important—these take the form of questions such as: What is the interplay between knowledge and power?How do we understand that we can have a ‘feel’ for materials and artefacts that we cannot completely describe in words?How do we know what ideas ought to be made real though technology and engineering?Significantly, this book also discusses the ethical dimensions of STEM education, in thinking about the kinds of STEM education that could be useful for open futures. This book will be useful to graduate students and educators seeking an expansive view of STEM education.More generally, these ideas outline a possible new strategy for a vision of school that is not merely training or preparing students for work.Education needs to also prepare students for sociopolitical participation, and with STEM being central to our contemporary lives, this book provides insights for how this can happen in makerspaces.
