Dewey

À propos de l'auteur

John Dewey was an influential American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer associated with pragmatism and functional psychology. His work in education emphasized the importance of experiential learning and the need for students to engage in problem-solving. Dewey believed that education should be a process of living and not merely preparation for future living. His ideas laid the groundwork for progressive education, advocating for a curriculum that was relevant to students' lives and focused on critical thinking rather than rote memorization.

Throughout his career, Dewey wrote extensively on various subjects, including democracy, ethics, and aesthetics. He was a prominent figure in the development of social and educational theory in the early 20th century, and his writings, such as "Democracy and Education" and "Experience and Education," remain influential today. Dewey's legacy continues to inspire educators and philosophers who seek to create more engaging and effective learning environments.
