Education is not preparation for life: Education is life itself. — John Dewey (1859-1952)
Although he was one of the most famous educators of the 20th century, what may have been most remarkable about John Dewey was his ability to see the extraordinary value of the unremarkable, everyday experience for young children.
In most classrooms across the United States during Dewey's time, children could be found sitting quietly and obediently in their seats, passively receiving information from their teachers and committing random facts to memory. Every classroom and every teacher would be doing the same thing at the same time.
How unsettling this was for Dewey! He knew that, out of necessity, even the youngest children participated in household chores and activities, and he quickly recognized the wonderful learning opportunities these everyday experiences provided. He came to believe that the child's own instincts, activities, and interests should be the starting point of education.
Dewey's strong beliefs fired his passion for educational reform. After receiving a Ph.D. in philosophy from Johns Hopkins University and teaching at the University of Michigan, Dewey founded his now-famous Laboratory School at the University of Chicago in 1896. The Lab School came to have a powerful influence on American education. In designing the curriculum, Dewey took advantage of the teachings of early European educators such as Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, who emphasized that children learn by doing, and

John Dewey
De Amerikaanse filosoof en sociaal pedagoog John Dewey (1859-1952) werd geboren in Burlington, Vermont. Dewey geldt als een hoofdvertegenwoordiger van het pragmatisme en de vernieuwing in het schoolwezen.
John Dewey kwam tijdens zijn opleiding in aanraking met het hegelianisme. Dewey bleef de sleutelbegrippen van deze theorie (continuïteit, ontwikkeling en macht van ideeën) trouw, maar gaf er toch een andere invulling aan. John Dewey koppelde de moderne theorieën aan praktische invulling van deze begrippen. Hij kreeg bij de stichting van de universiteit van Chicago de leiding over de filosofisch-psychologische afdeling. Reeds snel was sprake van de "Chicago School of Philosophy".
John Dewey was van 1904 tot 1931 als professor verbonden aan de Columbia universiteit in New York.
John Dewey beschouwde de mens als een wisselwerking tussen organisme en omgeving. Het denken speelde een belangrijke rol als instrument om zich aan te passen. Het denken van Dewey vertoonde parallellen met het "behaviorisme", want het verstand is wat het lichaam doet.

Name: John Dewey Birth Date: October 20, 1859 Death Date: June 1, 1952 Place of Birth: Burlington, Vermont, United States Place of Death: New York, New York, United States Nationality: American Gender: Male Occupations: philosopher, educator, professor, writer John Dewey Main Biography During the first half of the 20th century, John Dewey (1859-1952) was America's most famous exponent of a pragmatic philosophy that celebrated the traditional values of democracy and the efficacy of reason and universal education. Born on Oct. 20, 1859, in Burlington, Vt., John Dewey came of old New England stock. His father was a local merchant who loved literature. His mother, swayed by revivals to convert to Congregationalism, possessed a stern moral sense. The community, situated at the economic crossroads of the state, was the home of the state university and possessed a cosmopolitan atmosphere unusual for northern New England. Nearby Irish and French-Canadian settlements acquainted John with other cultures. Boyhood jobs delivering newspapers and working at a lumberyard further extended his knowledge. In 1864, on a visit to see his father in the Union Army in Virginia, he viewed firsthand the devastating effects of the Civil War.

    John Dewey
    John Dewey (1859-1952) is considered one of the seminal thinkers of the 20th century and one of the great American philosophers. After graduating from the University of Vermont he taught high school and then completed his Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins. He taught at various institutions before going to the University of Chicago (1894-1904) where he established a Laboratory School to put his distinctive educational philosophies into practice. His best known innovation was what he called "directed living" with an emphasis on learning combined with concrete activity and practical relevance. He later went to Columbia University as professor of philosophy (1904-1930) where he helped move Teacher's College into the forefront of American education.
    Dewey's relationship to Antioch is more indirect than direct, although many of his ideas about education and democracy, the role of experience in learning, notions of community and communication, and his considerations on ethics and inquiry, were foundational concepts for Antioch College and later, for the University that followed. Arthur Morgan, Antioch's president in the 1920s, was a devotee of Dewey's philosophy. In 1921, Morgan offered Dewey a job at the College, but there is no record of any response. Dewey, however, did come to the Yellow Springs campus in 1936 to deliver a lecture as part of the Horace Mann Centennial of Public Education. At that time, Dewey recommended George Geiger, one of his doctoral students at Columbia, for a philosophy position at Antioch. Geiger was hired and was eventually named the John Dewey Professor of the Humanities. He ran an annual Dewey Lecture series during the 1970s.

    Famous Quotes By: Dewey, John 1859-1952 American Philosopher Educator
    The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs. Self-conceit often regards it as a sign of weakness to admit that a belief to which we have once committed ourselves is wrong. We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a pet notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.

    From the Paper:
    "Differing notions of experience divide philosophers John Dewey and John Locke. The views of both have meaning in terms of such human endeavors as scientific inquiry and relate to scientific meaning. Locke's view of experience sees the world as preexisting and the mind as learning from experience. Locke believes that the mind at birth is a tabula rasa, a blank slate, and it is only through experience that knowledge is gained. Any knowledge possessed by the individual would be knowledge gained through experience. In the beginning, however, the individual has no experience. In the Garden of Eden, when Eve has experience of reaching for the extended red apple, it is a new one, the outcome of which will teach her a lesson she could not have gained otherwise.

    Education Schoolchildren may not fully appreciate the opportunity to receive an education, but it wasn't so long ago that instruction in the arts and sciences was reserved for a privileged few. Fortunately, concerned educators have worked to provide schools for all children and to develop the most effective teaching methods possible. Here, we feature two such reformers: Emma Willard and John Dewey.

    Gift of Emma Willard School The sixteenth of seventeen children, Emma Hart Willard grew up on a Connecticut farm in an age that generally thought most females incapable of absorbing much formal learning beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Her father, however, did not take that view, and while she was taught the domestic arts that were to prepare her for future duties as a wife, in addition her father often made time with her to discuss abstract ideas such as philosophy and to encourage her pursuit of learning. Emma responded eagerly to this encouragement and in 1802 enrolled in the Berlin Academy. Within two years, she was teaching the school's younger pupils, and in 1806, she took over the task of running the entire academy for a term. Soon after accepting a teaching position in Middlebury, Vermont, she met her future husband, physician John Willard. As was the custom, she abandoned her career in order to fulfill her domestic duties. However, the thought of educational discrimination against girls continued to bother her, and in 1814 Willard opened the Middlebury Female Seminary in her own home. The term "seminary" implied advanced learning in classics, arts, and sciencesa curriculum traditionally reserved for males. To prepare herself to teach these subjects, she tried to take classes at Middlebury College. Not surprisingly, the college denied her entrance because of her sex. Instead, she was forced to remedy the situation through a combination of self-instruction and tutelage from sympathetic friends. This stopgap measure proved adequate, and her seminary was soon offering ample demonstration that girls could meet the challenges of a rigorous academic program.

    Influence of Darwin on Philosophy and Other Essays John Dewey
    Prominent American philosopher and educator John Dewey (1859-1952) had been schooled in the Hegelian tradition, but he later rejected Hegelian idealism for the pragmatism of William James . In this collection of informal, highly readable essays, originally published between 1897 and 1909, Dewey articulates his now classic philosophical concepts of knowledge, truth, and the nature of reality. Here Dewey introduces the scientific method and uses critical intelligence to reject the traditional ways of viewing philosophical discourse. Knowledge cannot be divorced from experience; it is gradually acquired through interaction with nature. Philosophy, therefore, has to be regarded as itself a method of knowledge and not as a repository of disembodied, preexisting absolute truths.

    John Dewey and the Alexander Technique John Dewey The American philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952) first met F.Matthias Alexander at the time of the first World War and was deeply impressed by the practical benefits and scientific soundness of his teaching. Dewey had individual lessons in the Alexander Technique over a 35-year period and wrote the introductions to three of Alexander's books. He readily acknowledged that he owed the "concrete" form of certain of his ideas to his experience of the Alexander Technique. Basic among these ideas was a thorough-going acceptance of the principle of mind-body unity, which Deweylike Alexanderbelieved was the "missing link" in the current theories of both physiologists and psychologists.
    F.M. Alexander and the
    Alexander Technique
    F. Matthias Alexander (1869-1955) was the developer of the education system known as the Alexander Technique, originally developed as a method of vocal and breathing improvement. Through extensive practical observation and experience, Alexander realized that coordination of the vocal and breathing mechanisms was an intrinsic part of the coordination of the body as a whole and that this functioning of the body should not be seen and treated as separate from mental activity. For more information on the Alexander Technique see the Insiders' Guide to the Alexander Technique The Alexander Technique Mr. Alexander has done a service to the subject by insistently treating each act as involving the whole integrated individual, the whole psycho-physical man. To take a step is an affair, not of this limb or that limb solely, but of the total neuromuscular activity of the momentnot the least of the head and the neck.
