Socijalni rekonstrukcionizam i globalno obrazovanje
Social Reconstructionism And Global Education

Summary/Abstract: During the first half of the 20th century, social reconstructionism represented a radical wing of the larger Movement for Progressive Education. Its supporters constituted the part of the progressive forces that withdrew from the primary focus on the child, instead becoming focused on the social dimension of education. The aim of this paper is to examine the reconstructionism perspective in the context of current global changes. The approach used in this paper is the theoretical and comparative analysis of evolution of the socially-based reconstructionism ideas of the 20th century. The paper is based on the assumption that the ideas of prominent socially-oriented progressive theorists are crucial for consideration of the ways in which the young people could prepare to become responsible, tolerant, and peaceable individuals in a globalized world.
