William Heard Kilpatrick
Definition
- William Heard Kilpatrick (1871–1965) popularized the project method and child-centered curriculum and proved most important to curriculum studies as an emblematic figure for progressive education curricula. Although Kilpatrick's reputation suffers criticism for misapplying progressive ideals and the beliefs of John Dewey, he remains the self-proclaimed interpreter and leading proponent of the progressive education curriculum of the early to mid-20th century.
