Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education (Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analyzing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.

Rating: - Experience & Education by John DeweyIf you are think about reading Experience & Education by John Dewey, get ready for a "heady" read. This book is very dense and thoughtful. If you are an educator be prepared to read this book at a slow pace and take notes. Dewey, illustrates two thoughts in education: traditional vs. progressive. According to Dewey, traditional education is focused on content rather than process. Progressive education, is more of a free approach with freedom of choices being most useful in education. ... Read More Rating: - TimelessJohn Dewey's Experience and Education is a timeless treasure on the educational process in the United States. Although the language maybe flowery and dated the ideas are fresh and meaningful. I have worn out the binding in this short 91 page gem of learning theory from reading and rereading passages that are as relevant today as they were almost 70 years ago. As I continue in my process as a graduate student in education this book will be a worthwhile reference and inspiration. I highly recommend ... Read More
