The term "Progressive Education" in the name of the journal was taken from John Dewey theory of progressive education movements. This term was engaged to distinguish the new era of education from the traditional Euro-American curricula of the 19th century, which was rooted in classical preparation for the university and strongly differentiated by social class. By contrast, progressive education finds its roots in present experience (source: wikipedia.org). Progressive Education is essentially a view of education that emphasizes the need to learn by doing.
