Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John Dewey's Progressive Movement was a catalyst for the reform efforts of progressive education in the 1920s and 1930s in the United States. It emphasized experiential learning and the importance of education for democratic citizenship, which led to changes in curriculum, teaching methods, and school organization. While the movement had some influence on education in Europe and Canada, it was primarily a US-based movement. Option A is incorrect as there is no evidence that the Progressive Movement led to rapid growth in education in Europe. Option B is also incorrect as the influence of the Progressive Movement on education in Canada was minimal. Option D is completely wrong as the Progressive Movement occurred in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, not the 1820s and 1830s.
