The German model of what a research university should be was highly influential on graduate education in the United States, to which we may add the Land Grant model that acted as a moderating, application-oriented influence on both graduate and undergraduate education. But the model that U.S. primary and secondary education progressively followed throughout the last century would have to be the canon of Progressive Education that derived from the experimental school and the educational reforms of John Dewey.
