by John Dewey (Author)
Reclaim the democratic purpose of education with the foundational texts of the progressive movement.
Over a century ago, John Dewey identified a critical disconnect between rigid classroom routines and the dynamic needs of a functioning democracy. As modern educators navigate the pressures of standardized testing, digital distraction, and ongoing curriculum debates, Dewey's writings offer a vital, enduring framework for meaningful classroom reform.
This volume brings together his two most influential early works on experiential learning. The School and Society argues for integrating active occupations to transform the isolated schoolhouse into a cooperative community. The Child and the Curriculum reconciles the tension between a student's spontaneous curiosity and the structural demands of formalized academic subjects.
This special Polis & Praxis Education Series edition features:
- Exclusive New Introduction: "Why We Should Read John Dewey Today" connects Dewey's 19th-century theories to modern issues like standardized testing and civic engagement.
- Comprehensive Author Biography: "Who Was John Dewey?" details the historical forces of the Industrial Revolution that shaped his pragmatic philosophy.
- Expanded 1915 Text: Includes Dewey's deeper explorations into elementary psychology, student attention, and historical instruction.
- Curated Further Reading: A thematic guide pairing Dewey with modern thinkers like Neil Postman, Paulo Freire, and Maria Montessori to expand your syllabus or personal study.
Whether you are a veteran teacher, a school administrator, or a student of educational philosophy, this collection provides the theoretical groundwork required to build environments that foster genuine inquiry, continuous growth, and active citizenship.
