B.

C.
critical thinking.
D.

Solution:

A curriculum is all of the experiences that individual learners have in a program of education whose purpose is to achieve broad goals and related specific objectives.Progressive education refers to the education that values experiential learning. It focuses on learning by doing, hands-on experiences, critical thinking, problem-solving, etc.Curricular goals in progressive education emphasize critical thinking as progressive education focused on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills among the learners by enabling them to think or analyze the concepts beyond traditional ways.Critical thinking is a skill that focuses on the analysis, evaluation and synthesizing of various available facts through experience, reflection, reasoning, communication, and arguments that allow us to make the best decision that could be possible.As progressive education gives opportunities to the children to think critically and analyze, the children observe their surroundings i.e., their family, community, and society, and think upon the evils of society i.e., biases regarding gender, caste, religion, etc.Hence, it is clear that curricular goals in progressive education emphasize critical thinking.
