Education is democracy. Our system of Government fails without it.

Lovely, this is not my work filed that life gave it to me but there is something in me, in my inner world that loves everything related to Educaton or children or what the Germans called "‏Bildung". That's why I'm deeply interested on philosophers such as John Dewey, Russell and Rousseau. Thanks for sharing this kind of subjects on KZfaq, God bless you.

Subscribed, rang the bell, liked and commented for the algorithm this is a great video

Brilliant video

What teaching calls for is this: to let learn Because genuine interest cannot forced.

Very informative and great presentation of Dewey's ideas! Thank you!

America’s greatest thinker, though you wouldn’t know it from studying philosophy in American universities. It’s very difficult to summarize any one area of Dewey’s thought. I’ve heard Dewey scholars struggle to describe his theory of education in a way that doesn’t come across as flat or trivial. I mean, it seems obvious that education is most effective when the material taught is presented in a way that evokes the attention and interest of the learner, as opposed to a mere pouring-in of knowledge assumed to be passively absorbed. Duh! But then you go to the text itself and discover the astonishing range and depth of his ideas, and it quickly becomes clear that there is a rigorous systematic interplay among all the moving pieces. The connections are subtle but also very precise, and they don’t seem to want to fit together in any nutshell summary (much to my own chagrin!). All of that is to say that this is a really nice video that will succeed in piquing the curious viewer’s interest. I would encourage teachers to read Experience and Education for a relatively brief overview of Dewey’s philosophy of education. He shows clearly what progressive education is, and what it is not. Democracy and Education (1916) is the theory’s more systematic elaboration, and it is a masterwork among many masterworks. Others gems include Experience and Nature (1925), Art As Experience (1934), The Quest for Certainty (1928), Logic: The Theory of Inquiry (1938), etc. Dewey’s political writings are a pleasure to read, and they provide a deluge of untapped resources for the self-understanding and advancement of progressive political action. Thx again for your contribution! ❤

As someone who is actively working on their teaching license, thank you for the video. I never truly heard of John Dewey till this video, what books of his would you recommend ?

Great video on a little known man. Thank you!

Daniel Greenberg and the Sudbury Valley School seem the true inheritors of this legacy

Read victor hanson. Has similar beliefs.

Very educational video

Fun fact: 5:01 the text says that a book is no different from someone speaking in public

For the algorithm!

His 'progressive education' has been a disaster. Read several online critiques of him.
