Scholarly Resources Effect on Early Childhood Education The effect of this court case on early childhood education was very influential because it ended the racial segregation of children in public schools (History.com Editors, 2009). In 1951, Oliver Brown filed a class-action suit against the Board of Education, where he claimed that schools for colored children were not equal to the white school (History.com Editors, 2009). Brown stated that the segregation violated the 14th Amendment. In 1954, the Court ruled that the plaintiffs were being deprived of the equal protection of the laws that were guaranteed by the 14th Amendment (History.com Editors, 2009). John Dewey led a progressive education movement that focused on the social consciousness of education. The movement consisted of advocated for the poor and immigrant getting the same level of education. According to the textbook, it states, “that the

rich and poor could learn from one another and that the same education opportunities should be available to all” (Henderson, Garcia-Nevarez, Biddle, Valero-Kerrick, 2014, p. 43). Dewey’s ideas were to replace memorization with more cooperative, child-centered approach, that appreciated the child’s individuality and creativity (Henderson et al., 2014, p. 43). The Great Depression affected early childhood education because it caused many middle class families to slip into poverty which caused young children to starve. The stress that this economic event caused adults resulted in child abuse and domestic violence. School districts ran out of money, classrooms become crowded, and the school years were shortened because the districts could no longer afford to pay the teachers (Lynch, 2016). Also, many young children dropped out of school to seek work to help out their families which they would ignore the existing child labor laws. This caused the children during this time to not get a proper education. Piaget learned after interviewing children that they had remarkable responses to his questions after he would prob them. Piaget’s technique of asking questions and allowing children to explain their answers is called clinical interview method. He was among the first to propose a stage model of cognitive development which now influences the way we view children

(Henderson, Garcia-Nevarez, Biddle, ValeroKerrick, 2014). Piaget’s theory explains that children need to actively participate in the learned environment in order to learn. He referred to children as little scientists because they will investigate, hypothesize, and experiment (Henderson et al., 2014)
