This investigation involved pre-service education students who were enrolled in a one-year full -time professional Bachelor of Education program in Ontario, Canada. Each of the students completed an educational philosophy survey to identify their current philosophical orientation. Overwhelmingly, most preservice students selected and identified with the statements emanating from the progressivist school. The majority (+90%) of pre-service student teachers who completed the survey strongly agreed with the statements underpinning progressivism. A minority (3%) or 15 of the 520 surveyed indicated they were Social Reconstructionists (an outgrowth of progressivism) and only 1 % or five participants indicated that they strongly identified with Existentialist statements.
