Until relatively recently, children were taught the three Rs in afairly straight forward fashion. The teacher explained the lesson andthen the children practiced it. No other way of accomplishing the jobever occurred to anyone, until the 18th century Roman philosopherJean Jacques Rosseau began to advocate that educators follow
nature slow down their students intellectual growth and wait forthem to demonstrate interest in a subject. Rosseaus ideas did notgain common currency, however, until they were adopted by theAmerican social scientist John Dewey around the turn of thiscentury. Deweys recommendations such as his emphasis onlearning by doing and his belief that the process is more important
than the product, were immediately hailed with enthusiasms bymany American educators who began to implement them inAmerican schools in the 1920s.

activities that will lead to further activities.

The nature of the child must be made the basis of theformulation of the immediate and ultimate aims ofeducations.
The nature of the child rather than the nature of thesubject-matter should determine the nature of teaching.
Each pupil differs greatly within himself in his potentialityto learn. This psychological concept is based on theprinciple of individual differences or the principle of traitdifferences.
Each individual is created with the power of create. Inother words, all pupils possess creative ability, but indifferent degrees.

The Child-centered curriculumwas the result of the research conducted by
John Dewey. According to this curriculumdesign, the child is the center of the
educational processes and the curriculum
should be constructed upon his needs,
interests, purpose and abilities.

1. The misinterpretation of the philosophy of the child-centered
curriculum was a natural consequence of radical change.Teachers were sometimes ill prepared to adapt tochanging consents of child development, which fosteredlicense rather than freedom.
2. Often basic skills were neglected in the fierce towards self-
expression and creativity.
3. The cult of permissiveness confused teachers, children andtheir parents. While nothing inherent in the philosophy ofchild-centered curriculum supported many of the practicespurported to reflect this philosophy, numerousmisinterpretations created eventually a tidal wave of severecriticisms which underlies many of the reactionary trends inelementary education today.

26/27
Child is the center of the whole education
process. The great philosophers at different times
emphasized on it. The role of the teacher is like a
guide and observer to provide complete freedom
to the child to grow naturally. Child-centered
Education is the ideal system to manifest the latent
talent of the child. In this process education is not
an extra venous imposition but natural stimulationfor development of the child.
