Home›Thinkers›All ThinkersBrowse ByAll ThinkersReference and ClassificationDevelopingEducator entities are the individual theorists, reformers and founders this atlas documents, from ancient foundational figures through contemporary researchers, grouped into seven bands by primary scholarly contribution: Learning and Cognitive Theorists, Curriculum and Instructional Design Theorists, Cooperative and Collaborative Learning Theorists, Founders of Named Pedagogical Methods and Movements, Institutional Founders and System Builders, Equity and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy Theorists, and Educational Philosophers and Progressive Reformers. This band is the atlas's biographical spine for education: a thinker's page links out to the approach they founded, the theory they authored and the institutions they built or led, so browsing by thinker is browsing the field by its people rather than by its ideas.FactsAll ThinkersSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1770 1All ThinkersFilter Results326 entriesPedagogical ApproachAllBehaviourism (7)Bilingual Education (1)Charlotte Mason Method (1)Classical Education (1)Cognitivism (10)Constructivism (4)Cooperative Learning (3)Core Knowledge Sequence (1)Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (1)Dalton Plan (1)Decroly Method (1)Democratic Education (2)Differentiated Instruction (1)Direct Instruction (1)Essentialism (education) (1)Experiential Learning (2)Feminist Pedagogy (1)Flipped Classroom (2)Freinet Pedagogy (1)Froebelian Education (2)Herbartianism (1)HighScope Approach (1)Humanism (4)Inquiry-Based Learning (1)Keller Plan (1)Liberationism (8)Madrasa Pedagogy (1)Mastery Learning (1)Monitorial System (2)Montessori Education (1)Multicultural Education (3)Paideia Program (1)Peer Instruction (1)Perennialism (education) (2)Pestalozzian Method (2)Problem-Based Learning (1)Progressivism (education) (6)Reciprocal Teaching (1)Reggio Emilia Approach (1)Silent Way (1)Social Reconstructionism (education) (1)Socratic Method (1)Suggestopedia (1)Suzuki Method (1)Universal Design for Learning (1)Unschooling (1)Waldorf Education (1)Whole Language Approach (1)Influenced ByAllB.F.
