Thesis (Ed.D.)--Teachers College, Columbia University, 1990.

This dissertation is an examination of three discourse-texts which evolved over a hundred and fifty year period. Compositely, they have come to be known as the child-centered tradition within progressive education. All three discourse-texts are part of my history and have a compelling value to me which evokes my allegiance. I identify them separately as follows: (1) The theoretical discourse-text on "Play" and "Work." (2) The discourse-text on "Play" and "Work" created between 1967 and 1978 in a New York City Public School. (3) A discourse-text on "Work" and "Play" created during 1987-1988 in one kindergarten classroom in the above school.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation is an examination of three discourse-texts which evolved over a hundred and fifty year period. Compositely, they have come to be known as the child-centered tradition within progressive education. All three discourse-texts are part of my history and have a compelling value to me which evokes my allegiance. I identify them separately as follows: (1) The theoretical discourse-text on "Play" and "Work." (2) The discourse-text on "Play" and "Work" created between 1967 and 1978 in a New York City Public School. (3) A discourse-text on "Work" and "Play" created during 1987-1988 in one kindergarten classroom in the above school.
520 $a I am motivated to reconstruct these three discourse-texts because discourse-text three--The Classroom Discourse--sets a reflective problem for me. It is here that the antithesis to the theoretical discourse appears. I describe how the classroom discourse is caught in a double-bind because it tries to act on the incompatible dual commitments of the theoretical discourse-tradition and of the common-sense culture.
520 $a I conclude that the metaphors of "Play" and "Work," which the tradition has left us, are no longer sufficient tools to create vital kindergarten classrooms. I do this only after re-enacting the theoretical discourse-text and the school discourse-text and seeing their full persuasiveness. Thus, I call for "metaphoric redescriptions" (Rorty, 1988) within the tradition by way of rethinking of its whole aim, in an attempt to determine what is most significant in it. I suggest that an expanded position would move towards a reconceptualization of another essential referent within this tradition. I name this referent human memory: both individual and cultural-historical. I conclude by pointing to the work of Kieren Egan as a place to begin a reconceptualization. His latest book Primary Understanding (1988) presents a careful argument which established orality by way of the story form as a powerful communicative media, holding untapped educative potential for the primary school.
