The school and society by John Dewey
QR code
"The School and Society" by John Dewey is an educational work published in 1899. Based on three influential lectures, it establishes a foundational framework for progressive education that responds to the Industrial Revolution's transformation of childhood learning. Dewey argues that modern schools must replace the practical, hands-on education children once received working alongside parents. He proposes making collaborative experimentation central to schoolwork, designing student-centered classrooms around children's natural interests rather than passive
listening, and integrating manual training with academic subjects to reconnect theory with meaningful practice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
