43. John Dewey Vs. The Alexander Technique

    Extractions: The Unknown Dewey John Dewey vs. the Alexander Technique The Alexander Technique is a method of carriage awareness and improvement carriage in the sense of how you carry yourself, grace, lightness, ease of movement. It’s usually taught privately, the teacher certified by a professional society such as AmSAT, ATI, and STAT after undergoing three years of training. It was discovered and developed by F. Matthias Alexander (1869-1955), and today is widely known among musicians, dancers, and actors. Everyone, though, can benefit from the Alexander Technique. (For more about it, see STAT The American philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952) recommended the Alexander Technique, and today teachers frequently use his endorsement in their advertisements. Further, Dewey claimed the Alexander Technique illustrated his own philosophy, and some teachers repeat that claim in their descriptions of the Technique. A Google search for “Alexander Technique” shows how often Dewey’s endorsement gets used in Alexander Technique literature. Of the first ten websites it lists, eight of them feature Dewey’s endorsement or furnish a link to a site that does. The question is: Is Dewey’s endorsement valuable?

One of his teachers was G. Stanley Hall, a founder of experimental psychology; another was Charles S. Peirce. Dewey, however, was particularly disposed to German philosophic thought, especially the unifying, organic character of the idealism of Hegel, in contrast to British empiricism. Dewey first taught philosophy at the University of Michigan (1884-88), and then at the University of Minnesota (1888), and subsequently returned to Michigan (1889-94). In 1894 he became chairman of the department of philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy at the University of Chicago. His influential classic

45. Educational Theory Of John Dewey
    dewey s theory of education analyzed into eight factors.  
    http://www.newfoundations.com/GALLERY/Dewey.html
    
    Extractions: Theory of Value : What knowledge and skills are worthwhile learning? What are the goals of education? D.E: The term "value" has two quite different meanings. On the one hand, it denotes the attitude of prizing a thing, finding it worth while, for its own sake, or intrinsically This is a name for a full or complete experience. To value in this sense is to appreciate. But to value also means a distinctly intellectual act-an operation of comparing and judging to evaluate. This occurs when direct full experience is lacking, and the question arises which of the various possibilities of a situation is to be preferred in order to reach a full realization, or vital experience. 291-292 P.M: Values that are "extrinsic" or instrumental may be rationally estimated. For they are only means; are not ends in any genuine sense. As means their efficacy may be determined by methods that will stand scientific inspection. But the "ends" they serve (ends which are truly ends) are just matters of what groups, classes, sects, races, or whatever, happen irrationally to like or dislike. 9 Q.C: Of the many consequences that result, the state of education is perhaps the most significant. As the means of the general institution of intelligent action, it holds the key to orderly social reconstruction. 252

    Extractions: Pragmatism Cybrary John Dewey founded the Chicago School of Pragmatism during his ten years at the University of Chicago , from 1894 to 1904. The original group included his philosophy colleagues: George H. Mead James H. Tufts James R. Angell Edward Scribner Ames (Ph.D. Chicago 1895), and Addison W. Moore (Ph.D. Chicago 1898). Jane Addams , the Founder of Hull House in Chicago, was a social activist and writer associated with this group. Among the many graduates of Chicago who were influenced by pragmatism during Dewey's time there, several were pragmatists in their own right: Simon F. MacLennan (Ph.D. Chicago 1896, professor at Oberlin College), Ernest Carroll Moore (Ph.D. Chicago 1898, professor at University of California, Berkeley) Arthur K. Rogers (Ph.D. Chicago 1899, professor at Yale University), Ella Flagg Young (Ph.D. Chicago 1900, professor of pedagogy, University of Chicago), H.

    Extractions: Quotations to inspire and challenge Main John Dewey I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform. All reforms which rest simply upon the law, or the threatening of certain penalties, or upon changes in mechanical or outward arrangements, are transitory and futile.... But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move.... Education thus conceived marks the most perfect and intimate union of science and art conceivable in human experience. My Pedagogic Creed, 1897 This quote is found in the following categories: Education Quotes

    http://www.christianparents.com/jdewey.htm
    
    Extractions: THE FATHER OF MODERN EDUCATION see also page 2 on John Dewey John Dewey is recognized as the Father of modern education. The N.E.A. gave him high recognition for his works. Much of his changes to schools was made possible by the theory of evolution being so strongly accepted after the writings of Charles Darwin. John Dewey wrote a theory of education and democracy that was based on evolution. The education theories of Dewey would not have been so acceptable to people had it not been for the previous acceptance of Darwin's Theory of Evolution.That theory was widely received around the world. Evolution praises change and declares the highest good is a positive change. Darwin's theory helped strengthen the ideas of relativism and positivism which had been around for ages but were reinforced by John Dewey. John Dewey developed ideas of evolutionary democracy and evolutionary education and evolutionary law. Those ideas had as their foundation the premise that nothing is constant. He said the only constant good is change for the good, ie positivism. He did not measure things from any absolute standards, but from a relative perception based on human desire. Relativism denies absolutes. God is absolute. The word of God teaches absolutes. Evolution flies in the face of God's word.

    http://cuip.uchicago.edu/~cac/dewey.htm
    
    Extractions: John Dewey was an American philosopher and educator who, with Charles Peirce and William James, was a founder of the school of philosophy known as "pragmatism." Dewey had a long a distinguished career as a teacher, school reformer, labor activist, political commentator, and "public intellectual" who was not afraid to deal, in his philosophical writings, with actual social issues. Dewey began his career as a Hegelian idealist, but gradually move away from idealism and adopted an "experimentalism" which stressed the continuity of human thought and natural conditions, and which emphasized the ways in which human intelligence may be applied, through inquiry, to the solution of real problems. Dewey published over 100 books during his lifetime, dealing with such topics as education, ethics, logic, metaphysics, aesthetics, religious experience, war, politics, economics, and valuation. (Several of his booksare available on-line.) He was often scorned by other philosophers, who deemed his philosophy too much concerned with practice and not enough concerned with theory or with traditional philosophical issues such as epistemology (or "how can we know"), ontology ("what is real"), or traditional logic ("what is truth"). Indeed, Dewey was quite explicit in his claim that "Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method, cultivated by philosophers, for dealing with the problems of men." ("The Need for a Recovery in Philosophy," 1917; MW 10:42)

He believed that learning was active and that children came to school to do things; that learning arithmetic would come from learning proportions in cooking or figuring out how long it would take to get from one place to another by mule. History, how people lived, geography, what the climate was like, and how plants and animals grew, were important subjects. Dewey's gift was for suggesting activities that captured the center of what his classes were studying. He believed, together with University of Chicago President William Rainey Harper, that schooling was unnecessarily long.

54. "Organic Democracy: The Political Philosophy Of John Dewey" By Scott London
    john dewey has been described as a philosopher who combined the stubborn perseverance of a New England farmer with the zeal of a reckless liberal.  
    http://www.scottlondon.com/reports/dewey.html
    
    Extractions: John Dewey has been described as "a philosopher who combined the stubborn perseverance of a New England farmer with the zeal of a reckless liberal." He was a progressive and far-sighted thinker with a distinctly American sensibility, one who espoused the virtues of pragmatism and experience over absolute and metaphysical truths and who advanced a social and political philosophy perhaps more thoroughly democratic than any that has been formulated before or since. Today, some fifty years after his death, John Dewey remains if not America’s premier political philosopher, then at least its greatest spokesman for civil society, community values, grass-roots liberalism, and some would argue even democracy itself. John Dewey was born in 1859 in Burlington, Vermont. After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Vermont, followed by a brief stint as a high school teacher, he earned his Ph.D. from John Hopkins University. He went on to teach at the University of Michigan for about ten years, the University of Chicago for another ten, and finally Columbia University where he chaired the philosophy department for over twenty years. After his retirement in 1930, he remained active and continued to write many articles and books not only on philosophy and logic but also on art, education, science, and social and political reform. Among his many books are Democracy and Education Reconstruction in Philosophy The Public and Its Problems , and Freedom and Culture

    Extractions: hn Dewey was America's most distinctive philosopher. Though he was a modest and unassuming man, his philosophical program ranged over the entire agenda of philosophical specialties, from the philosophy of science to the theory of knowledge, aesthetics, metaphysics, education and beyond. No other philosopher in the United States has contributed so much to so many fields of philosophical inquiry. Moreover, his contributions were extraordinary; in each of these fields of inquiry he sought to fundamentally reorient philosophical work. In the theory of knowledge, for example, he elaborated a conception of truth that turned on the uses of what we know, and in aesthetics he sought to turn inquiry away from abstract theory and judgment toward a socially grounded consideration of art. Though a technically proficient philosopher, Dewey attacked the intellectual issues that joined philosophy to the great questions of everyday life. Dewey was a college professor, but he was a public intellectual. Unlike many of his academic colleagues then or now, he worked prodigiously hard to make his ideas count for America and ordinary Americans. In addition to writing about issues that did count, he was active in the social and political causes that he thought important-including everything from opposing tests and vocational schools that would track workers' children away from brighter futures to a third-party presidential campaign in the 1930s-and worked hard for civil liberties and civil rights. He fiercely opposed Communist and other totalitarian regimes, and spoke out strongly against them at a time when such independence was quite unfashionable.

    http://curricublog.org/2006/09/05/dewey_on_journey-map-territory/
    
    Extractions: What is curriculum? — Some Observations by Maxine Greene Book-TV notification Informed by the meaning of the Latin root currere , we understand “curriculum” as the course of human experience in which the formation of human being takes place (in which human being(s) “take(s) form,” that is, not only as individuals, but also in the formation of human institutions, practices, cultures, and societies). But the word “curriculum” is often used in general public discourse as referring to official plans and printed documents, which lay out the scope and sequence of what students in schools are supposed to learn. Such a notion of curriculum is common not only in the general public, but even among professionals in education; so that even in our doctoral courses in Curriculum Studies, we often need to begin by disabusing our education grad students of such incapacious ways of thinking about curriculum. I have found it effective to begin with the problem of someone confusing the map for the territory (Korzybski, Bateson), and Bateson’s extension of this to somebody mistaking the menu for the meal (which conjures images of somebody walking into a restaurant and chomping on the menu). This helps people move from their idea of “curriculum” as State or National Guidelines, District or Building-Level documents, or even classroom lesson plans (which would be like the maps or menus) to an idea of the curriculum as being, instead, the meal to be consumed, or the territory to be covered (e.g., the math, the history, the biology, the literature, etc.).
