Child-Centered, Gender-Centered: A Criticism of Progressive Curriculum Theory from Rousseau to Plowden.
Darling, John
Oxford Review of Education, v12 n1 p31-40 1986
Argues that the child-centered theme of natural development advocated in Rousseau's EMILE (Rousseau, 1911), provided an unduly traditional and restricted view of education for the female role. Maintains that the full development of girls requires a vision of how things ought to be and a willingness to defend such value judgments, rather than simply following existing patterns of behavior.
