Shady Records®
Who is John Dewey?
• He is considered to be the pioneer of modern education
• His ideas & approaches towards education & schooling were revolutionary
during his lifetime which remain important today,
Biography:
Shady Records®
• He was born on the 20th of October 1859 in
Burlington, Vermont(USA).
• He attended the university of Vermont when he
was 15 years old & his focus was on Philosophy.
• John Dewey taught in high school & elementary
school when he obtained his Bechalor.
• In 1884, John received his Ph.D from the
university of John Hopkins & started teaching in
the university of Michigan.
• In 1904, Dewey became a professor in the
university of Colombia till his retirement in 1930.
Exploring his ideas & approaches:
Shady Records®
• John Dewey is most famous for his role in
what is called ‘Progressive Education’.
• This puts Dewey in the education of
Philosophy called ‘Pregmatism’.
• Pragmatism believe that reality must be
experienced.
• His vision to the classroom was influenced
by democratic ideals .
Shady Records®
• Dewey’s approach was child-centered which places the emphasis of
learning on the needs & interests of the child.
• Dewey believed that children should be allowed to explore their
environment
• John believed in what’s known as ‘interdisciplinary’ curriculum’ that
focuses on connecting multiple subjects.
• According to him, children should be allowed to explore in & outside the
classroom & construct their own paths for acquiring & applying
knowledge.
Shady Records®
• The role of the teacher is rather a facilitator
than an instructor.
• The teacher should observe the interests of
the students & the directions they naturally
take.
The role of the teacher in Dewey’s view:
Comparison between:
Traditional teaching
• Traditionally, a teacher would stand
in front of a group of students
delivering information to them sitting
in rows.
• The students would receive
information given by the teacher,
memorize, & give them back in the
exams or tests.
Dewey’s ideal classroom:
• In Dewey’s classroom, you may find
the teacher delivering some
background content information
• The students work in groups
exploring different concepts within
the content.
• You might see a lot of conversation &
collaboration between the teacher &
students.
• Students prepare presentations,
projects, or any kind of evaluation.
Shady Records®
• The idea of John Dewey is not to allow children to do whatever they please, but rather for
the teacher to use a professional judgement to shape this process.
Dewey believed that treating aducation as a part of life opposed to preparation for it,
students would learn to become independant & productive citizens.
Shady Records®
The influence of Dewey’s ideas & approaches:
Shady Records®
• His ideas continue to influence both schooling & teacher education nowadays. The
concept of a democratic classroom where students & teachers learn together & share
their voices & interests is at the heart of many teacher preparation programs.
