Question 1
'Reforms are necessary in all walks of life' is a central idea of which educational philosophy?
  • Perennialism
  • Essentialism
  • Progressivism

Correct Answer Explanation
Reconstructionism (Social Reconstructionism) holds that education must actively work to reform and reconstruct society. Associated with Theodore Brameld and George Counts, it argues that schools should be agents of social change, addressing injustice, inequality, and societal problems. It believes the current social order needs fundamental reform, and education is the primary tool for building a better, more equitable world. This directly aligns with 'reforms in all walks of life.'
