In 1919, while traveling in Japan on sabbatical leave, John Dewey was invited by Peking University to visit China. Dewey and his wife, Alice, arrived in Shanghai on May 1, 1919, just days before student demonstrators took to the streets of Peking to protest the decision of the Allies in Paris to cede the German held territories in Shandong province to Japan.

Schools of To-morrow and The Schools of Utopia argue that education and learning are social and interactive processes, and thus the school itself is a social institution through which social reform can and should take place.

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»...

One of the most influential forces in the shaping of American education, the famed philosopher and psychologist John Dewey (1859–1952) believed in «viewing the education of the child in the light of the principles of mental activity and processes of growth made know by modern psychology.» As the administrator of the University of Chicago's laboratory school — which he established in 1896 and which was one of the first such schools in the United States — Dewey...

Американский философ, психолог и педагог Д.Дьюи – один из самых выдающихся и влиятельных мыслителей ХХ века. Благодаря Дьюи, во многих странах мира кардинально изменился подход к методам обучения. В своей экспериментальной школе Дьюи сумел осуществить свою идею «обучения деланием», когда дети не только приобретали знания, но и учились их использовать, т. е. по-настоящему жили, а не только готовились к взрослой жизни. Так называемый «метод проектов» и «продуктивное обучение», более детально...

How We Think by John Dewey is a classic book about thinking. The contents of Dewey’s book are applicable to innovation, learning, business management, and many other fields. John Dewey’s view of thinking, and thinking skills, as elaborated in “How We Think” is surprisingly fresh and consistent.
