In this paper, I have delineated the socio-cultural contexts which gave birth to the progressive education whose founding philosophy is closely related to the underlying principles of holistic education. In doing this, I have also illuminated its underlying philosophical tenets. Moreover, I have investigated some main features of the progressive education movement despite that its multifarious concerns and strategies sometimes conflicted and contradicted with one another. Last, I have made its comprehensive assessment based upon the evaluations of both its proponents and opponents. Based on my analysis, educational progressivism has accomplished two major feats which are democratization of education and education for real life. Progressive education can be credited for liberating students from external control, authority, drudgery and heteronomy. Furthermore, it has successfully transformed schools into something closer to the real world. However, educational progressivism has created anti-intellectualism in American schools. It is blamed to be a culprit of academic degradation and imbroglio of American public schools. Under the heavy influence of progressive education, schools have neglected their commitment to the intellectual development of each children. In short, educational progressivism has been both a blessing and a curse.

이 연구는 문헌 연구로서 연구자는 이 연구에서 홀리스틱 교육과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있는 진보주의 교육에 대해 논의하였다. 연구자는 우선 진보주의 교육사조가 태동하게 된 사회적 배경에 대해 고찰하였고, 다음으로 진보주의의 철학적 기저를 분석하였다. 이와 아울러 다양한 형태로 전개된 진보주의 교육운동의 공통적인 특징을 재조명하였으며, 이를 토대로 진보주의에 대한 재평가를 시도하였다. 연구자의 분석에 의하면, 진보주의는 교육을 민주화하고 실생활과 밀접하게 변화시켰다는 점에서 그리고 특히 홀리스틱 교육의 철학적 기저를 제공하고 있다는 점에서 그 기여도가 크지만, 학교 현장의 혼선을 초래하고 아동의 지적 발달을 경시하는 결과를 초래했다는 비판으로부터 자유롭지 못하다.
