John Dewey , Educator/Philosopher 1859-1952 has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
John Dewey wrote extensively about philosophy, psychology, education, political science, and the arts. In his very full 92 years of life (1859-1952), he not only wrote about the breadth of life, he participated in it as a teacher, social critic, political activist and involved family man. This fully produced video introduces students to his philosophy and his critical studies of education, the arts and the implications of democracy for the lives of individuals and their communities. Dewey lived in a different era of history than we do, but many of his concerns are very relevant to life today. Maintaining a democracy in the face of diverse ethnic values, educating the young to participate fully in the life of their community, and expanding individual perceptions through participation in the arts were among the issues he examined. Contemporary examples of the influence of his work include film sequences of noted educator Deborah Meier's Mission Hill School in Roxbury, Massachusetts; commentary by literature authority Louise Rosenblatt on Dewey's theories of democratic behavior and philosopher Larry Hickman's comments on the ways technology changes our experiencing of the world. (Dr. Hickman is also the director of the Center for Dewey Studies in Illinois.) Terminology and the historical context necessary for understanding Dewey's work are provided by historical materials, newly shot visuals and clever graphics.
John Dewey (1859 1952) was a psychologist, philosopher and well-known American educational reformer. His thoughts on education, art, logic and ethics have influenced movements around the world. Along with the genius of Charles Sanders Peirce and William James, John Dewey is recognized as a co-founder of the school of pragmatism...The Dewey Theory on Democracy: John Dewey considered democracy as the result of schools and society at large. He believed that democracy in its very essence can only be applied to full potential if adequate attention was paid to reconstruction of experimental intelligence and social plurality. He strongly advocated social reconstruction to adopt democracy beyond voting right and well defined public opinion. He believed that the concept had to be an imminent part of effective social communication and that politicians were completely accountable for adopted policies. Dewey believed democracy to be synonymous with the only ethical ideal of humanity. John Dewey Theory on Functional Psychology: Dewey was committed to Hegelian idealism. He explored the possible synthesis between experimental science and idealism. In his theory on functional psychology, John Dewey laid a lot of emphasis on the need to reformulate psychology. He stressed that the focus on the role of the social environment needed to be strengthened to ensure that it remained in sync with that of mental activity and human behavior. Dewey's functional psychology laid practical emphasis on ...

This is the VOA Special English Education Report. We had a question from China from a listener who wanted to know about John Dewey. John Dewey was an influential thinker and educator. The New York Times once called him "America's philosopher." Larry Hickman is director of the Center for Dewey Studies at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. He was not surprised that the question came from China. Mister Hickman told us he just returned from two weeks of meetings in Beijing in December. He and Chinese educators discussed the close relationship between Dewey's ideas and those of Confucius. He also worked with a group of Buddhists who like Dewey's work very much because it goes along with some of the ideas of Mahayana Buddhism. John Dewey described his ideas in books including "Democracy and Education," "The School and Society" and "How We Think." Mister Hickman said Dewey was perhaps the best known philosopher, educator and public intellectual of the twentieth century. He was active in many fields, including education, philosophy, psychology and humanistic and humanitarian affairs. He was an important influence in the founding of the American Association of University Professors and the American Civil Liberties Union. He was also influential in the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, although he himself was white. John Dewey was born in Burlington, Vermont, in eighteen fifty-nine. He was influenced by the scientific work of Charles ...
