Group Four Presentation

Group Four did their presentation on chapter 7: Education Phlosophy. They started their presentation talking about the four different philisohies of what educationis about. The four philosophies were, Perennialism, essentialism, progressivism, and social reconsruction.
They explained that Perennialism is the belief that human nature is constant. So the goal of pernnialism is to teach the intellect and it is strict and focused on the academic work. Essentialism is the belief that there is basic knowledge that everyone needs to knw to survive and are focused on teaching about these basic skills. Progressivism is the belief that we should focus on te real-world problem solving and the individual development. Social Reconstruction is the belief that the schools, teacers, and the students should take the lead in addressing socail problems and improving the society.Overall I thought that the group did really good and everything was well organized.
