Starting Point
In the 1930s Brameld was drawn to a social
activist group of scholars at Teachers College,
Columbia University (i.e. Counts, Rugg, Curti,
and Kilpatrick).
Counts especially influenced him profoundly.
Writing in The Social Frontier, a journal of
educational and political critique, he argued for a
radical philosophy that focused analysis on
weaknesses in the social, economic, and political
structure.
From this analysis came constructive blueprints
for a new social order that challenged social
inequities like prejudice, discrimination, and
economic exploitation.

Notable Reconstructivisits
George Counts (1889-1974) - recognized that
Education was the means of preparing people
for creating this new social order.
Paulo Freire (1921-1997) - a Brazilian whose
experiences living in poverty led him to champion
education and literacy as the vehicle for social change.
- humans must learn to resist oppression and not
become its victims, nor oppress others.
- saw teaching and learning as a process of
inquiry in which the child must invent and reinvent the
world.
