进步主义教育运动的开端:库克实习学校实验

An experiment of Cook's practice school that sparkles the progressive education movement

国内教育学界少有关于库克实习学校实验的系统或专门研究。基于历史文献及相关研究成果分析实验的背景、总结实验的指导思想、介绍实验的内容、探讨实验的影响及意义。研究认为,库克时期是帕克教育思想与实践的系统成熟时期,此时的帕克既强调儿童自由的重要性同时也不忽视教育在构建民主社会中的作用。此外,实验采取了很多具有革新意义的教育改革举措,库克县师范学校的很多教师成员及毕业生后来都成为进步主义教育运动的中坚力量,实验在很大程度上促进了进步主义教育运动在美国的兴起,堪称"进步主义教育运动的开端"。
