91 pages ; 18 cm Experience and Education is the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education (Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analyzing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Traditional vs. progressive education -- The need of a theory of experience -- Criteria of experience -- Social control -- The nature of freedom -- The meaning of purpose -- Progressive organization of subject-matter -- Experience : the means and goal of education. by John Dewey Filosofía de la educación Educación Experiencia LB 875 D519e 2015 9780684838281 0684838281 251009 20251124131342.0 eng
