Description
Experience and Education is a concise statement on education by John Dewey, widely regarded as the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written over two decades after his comprehensive statement of educational philosophy, this book reflects Dewey's reformulated ideas on education, shaped by his experience with progressive schools and the criticisms of his theories. Dewey argues that both traditional and progressive education systems are inadequate, as they fail to apply the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. This book illustrates Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education, urging educators to consider the deeper issues of education rather than focusing on divisive "isms". Dewey's philosophy proposes an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, offering a true learning situation that is both historical and social, and orderly and dynamic.
