Description

Despite the fact that he didn’t coin the phrase “Progressive Education,” American philosopher and psychologist, John Dewey, has historically been associated with this brand new educational method. In these two works, “The School and Society” and “The Child and Curriculum,” Dewey lays out his philosophies of pragmatism, educational reform, and his advocacy of democracy. In a time when education focused primarily on rote memorization and passive acquisition of knowledge, Dewey advocated a “learning by doing” method. He believed students would change into more well-rounded, productive members of society through their natural inquisitiveness, and experimentation through interaction with the world. Dewey’s complex and naturalistic theories were number one influences in both education and social reform within the twentieth century. Furthermore, he has change into referred to as one of the most founders of the philosophy of pragmatism and functional psychology. Nowadays, his work remains to be a valuable source of information and inspiration to those interested within the education and development of school-age children.
