Dewey, John, 1859-1952

Democracy and education : an introduction to the philosophy of education / John Dewey - [Sioux Falls, SD?] : NuVision Publications, 2007. - 292 pages ; 24 cm.

John Dewey (1859-1952) believed that learning was active and schooling unnecessarily long and restrictive. His idea was that children came to school to do things and live in a community which gave them real, guided experiences which fostered their capacity to contribute to society. Dewey's education philosophy helped forward the "progressive education" movement, and spawned the development of "experiential education" programs and experiments. This treatise was originally published in 1916
