The Paideia proposal was created by Mortimer J. Adler to overcome elitism in the school system and replace it with a truly democratic system. The Paideia Proposal aims to improve the quality of schools in America and make education available to all students (Adler, 1984). To meet students' individual needs, educators must adapt their instructional teaching strategies (Nolen, 2003). Educators must be aware of how their students learn and how to meet their needs. The potential benefits of using the Paideia proposal in schools are to fulfill the purpose of education, understand students' learning styles, and use instructional elements to meet students' needs. There have been many ideas about what the purpose of education is, which include the following ideas: “citizenship training, equal economic opportunity, and crime reduction” (Primavera, 2009, p. 5). The principles of Paideia state that education should prepare all students “to earn a decent livelihood, to be a good citizen of the nation and the world, and to build a good life” (Roberts & Billings, 1999, p. 4). . Spring (2009) writes that our country has had many transitions in goals for public school education from the bill for the most general diffusion of knowledge proposed in 1779 to the No Child Left Behind Act proposed in 2001. In 1982, Mortimer J. Adler's The Paideia proposal used democracy to promote education by ensuring that the education system allowed young men and women equal educational opportunities and that they were given the same quality of education (Adler, 1984). The Paideia proposal is a tool that educators could use to advance the idea of ​​a truly democratic system in public schools. In science, ...... half of the document ...... Curriculum development.
