Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

His ideas have been influential in education and social reform. "No one doubts that thought, at least reflective, as distinct from what is sometimes called constitutive, thought, is derivative and secondary. It comes after something and out of something, and for the sake of something. No one doubts that the thinking of everyday practical life and of science is of this reflective type. We think about; we reflect over." (Studies in Logical Theory)
Download or read book John Dewey and the Art of Teaching written by Douglas J. Simpson and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2004-12-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This text is an intriguing alternative to the steady diet of ′how to′ texts that dominate educational readings." –Ranae Stetson, Texas Christian University "At a time when critical-reflective teaching is constantly in jeopardy, John Dewey and the Art of Teaching is very refreshing. Both prospective and experienced teachers should find this work helpful if they are serious about realizing democratic values. Policy makers need to take the time to read this work to be reminded of the core values of democratic education." –John Portelli, University of Toronto, Canada "The authors, by championing the relationship of art to education, offer a much needed counterbalance to our society′s over-reliance on standardized testing. I enthusiastically endorse this work and would readily use it in both undergraduate social foundations of education and masters′ level philosophy of education courses." –Tony Johnson, West Chester University "At last we have a volume that beckons the uninitiated reader into a study of Dewey′s significant ideas about the art of teaching. The authors demonstrate great intellectual integrity in describing these ideas while expressing them in practical, even elegant prose." –Jackie Blount, Iowa State University "This book translates Deweyan theory and practice into common-sense, readable, and lucid language. It extends and challenges thinking about the work of teaching, the larger contexts in which it occurs, and the many roles of teachers as change agents. It will also promote novel ways of thinking about teaching for those entering the profession—and for those who strive to teach more thoughtfully." –Joe DeVitis, University of Louisville John Dewey and the Art of Teaching: Toward Reflective and Imaginative Practice is an engaging and accessible introduction to the art of teaching as seen through the eyes of John Dewey. Authors Douglas J. Simpson, Michael J. B. Jackson, and Judy C. Aycock provide a lucid interpretation of the complexities and art of teaching in contemporary classrooms. In addition, they discuss, apply, and question the practical implications of Dewey′s ideas about the art of teaching for beginning and practicing teachers. Throughout the book, the reader reflects on the role of the teacher as artist, orchestral conductor, lover, wise mother, navigator, gardener, pioneer, social servant, engineer, curriculum builder, group leader, composer, and wise physician. At the heart of the discussion is the desire to support teachers in their pursuit of thoughtful and innovative teaching. In addition, the book encourages policy makers and educational leaders to help create conditions in districts, schools, and classrooms that value reflective and imaginative teachers who are free to think and create as they educate each student in and for democratic communities. Key Features • Chapters begin with an epigraph by Dewey, and also include quotes from Dewey and questions for reflection and discussion • Activities include creating a snapshot of a teacher by using the ideas discussed, analyzing one′s own strengths and challenges by engaging in an introspective moment, and considering reflective questions about the ideas presented • A series of figures throughout the book summarize, clarify, and illustrate ideas • Readers can record concluding thoughts for each chapter under the heading A Summative Exercise: The Artistic Teacher John Dewey and the Art of Teaching is perfectly suited as a text for undergraduate and graduate courses such as introduction to teaching, educational foundations, and philosophy of education. Beginning and experienced teachers will also find a wealth of ideas to apply in their classrooms.
Download or read book John Dewey and the Decline of American Education written by Henry Edmondson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influence of John Dewey’s undeniably pervasive ideas on the course of American education during the last half-century has been celebrated in some quarters and decried in others. But Dewey’s writings themselves have not often been analyzed in a sustained way. In John Dewey and the Decline of American Education, Hank Edmondson takes up that task. He begins with an account of the startling authority with which Dewey’s fundamental principles have been—and continue to be—received within the U.S. educational establishment. Edmondson then shows how revolutionary these principles are in light of the classical and Christian traditions. Finally, he persuasively demonstrates that Dewey has had an insidious effect on American democracy through the baneful impact his core ideas have had in our nation’s classrooms. Few people are pleased with the performance of our public schools. Eschewing polemic in favor of understanding, Edmondson’s study of the “patron saint” of those schools sheds much-needed light on both the ideas that bear much responsibility for their decline and the alternative principles that could spur their recovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Logical Theory by John Dewey: Studies in Logical Theory presents a collection of essays by John Dewey, one of the most influential American philosophers and educators of the 20th century. Dewey explores various aspects of logical theory, providing readers with insights into the nature of thought, inquiry, and knowledge. Key Aspects of the Book “Studies in Logical Theory”: Pragmatic Approach: Dewey's essays reflect his pragmatic philosophy, which emphasizes the practical consequences and applications of ideas. He examines logical theory in relation to everyday experiences, highlighting its relevance to problem-solving, decision-making, and the improvement of human affairs. Experimental Inquiry: Dewey promotes an experimental approach to logical theory, emphasizing the importance of observation, investigation, and empirical evidence. He explores the role of experimentation in refining logical concepts and theories, challenging traditional notions of fixed and static truths. Educational Implications: Dewey's exploration of logical theory extends to its implications for education. He discusses the importance of cultivating critical thinking skills, fostering inquiry-based learning, and creating learning environments that promote active engagement and reflective thought. John Dewey, an influential American philosopher and educator, played a pivotal role in shaping modern educational theories and progressive pedagogy. Born in 1859, Dewey believed in the power of education to foster social progress and democracy. He emphasized the importance of active learning, experiential education, and the integration of knowledge with real-life experiences. Dewey's philosophy, often referred to as pragmatism, advocated for a student-centered approach to education, where learners actively engage with their environment, collaborate with others, and apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems. He believed that education should cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and moral development, preparing individuals to be active participants in democratic societies. Throughout his career, Dewey wrote extensively on educational theory, democracy, ethics, and social philosophy. His influential works, including Democracy and Education and Experience and Education, continue to shape educational practices around the world. Dewey's ideas have had a lasting impact, influencing curriculum design, teacher training, and educational policy. Beyond his contributions to education, Dewey was also a prominent voice in political and social issues. He championed social reform, advocated for women's suffrage, and emphasized the importance of social justice and equality. Dewey's legacy lies in his commitment to humanistic education, his belief in the transformative power of education, and his dedication to creating a more inclusive and democratic society. His ideas continue to inspire educators, philosophers, and policymakers to rethink traditional educational models and embrace a more progressive and student-centered approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools Of To-morrow and The Schools of Utopia argue that education and learning are social and interactive processes, and thus the school itself is a social institution through which social reform can and should take place. Students should thrive in an environment where they are allowed to experience and interact with the curriculum, and all students should have the opportunity to take part in their own learning._x000D_ John Dewey (1859-1952) is one of the primary figures associated with the philosophy of pragmatism and is considered one of the founders of functional psychology. His ideas have been influential in education and social reform. Known for his advocacy of democracy, Dewey considered two fundamental elements—schools and civil society—to be major topics needing attention and reconstruction to encourage experimental intelligence and plurality._x000D_ Excerpt:_x000D_ "What is learned in school is at the best only a small part of education, a relatively superficial part; and yet what is learned in school makes artificial distinctions in society and marks persons off from one another. Consequently we exaggerate school learning compared with what is gained in the ordinary course of living." (Schools Of To-morrow)_x000D_
Download or read book John Dewey s Philosophy of Education written by J. Garrison and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Dewey is considered not only as one of the founders of pragmatism, but also as an educational classic whose approaches to education and learning still exercise great influence on current discourses and practices internationally. In this book, the authors first provide an introduction to Dewey's educational theories that is founded on a broad and comprehensive reading of his philosophy as a whole. They discuss Dewey's path-breaking contributions by focusing on three important paradigm shifts – namely, the cultural, constructive, and communicative turns in twentieth-century educational thinking. Secondly, the authors recontexualize Dewey for a new generation who has come of age in a very different world than that in which Dewey lived and wrote by connecting his philosophy with six recent and influential discourses (Bauman, Foucault, Bourdieu, Derrida, Levinas, Rorty). These serve as models for other recontexualizations that readers might wish to carry out for themselves.
Download or read book John Dewey written by Svend Brinkmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Dewey was an American psychologist, philosopher, educator, social critic, and political activist. John Dewey: Science for a Changing World addresses Dewey's contemporary relevance; his life and intellectual trajectory; his basic philosophical ideas, with an emphasis on his philosophy of nature; and his educational theory, which has often been misunderstood. In addition, Dewey's pragmatism and pragmatist ethics are discussed, as are some of the criticisms that can be directed at them. Throughout the book, Dewey's ideas are related to the general history of ideas, but there is also a constant focus on how Dewey may assist us in solving some of the problems that face us in a so-called postmodern era. This book is the first to offer an interpretation of John Dewey's works with particular emphasis on his contribution to psychology. John Dewey distinguished himself by combining a culturalist approach to human life with a naturalistic one. He was an avowed naturalist and follower of Darwin, and Brinkmann shows how his non-reductionist, naturalist psychology can serve as a much-needed correction to contemporary forms of "evolutionary psychology." Dewey's psychology, however, is not an isolated element in his thinking as a whole, so the author also provides an introduction to the philosophical, ethical, and educational ideas that go hand-in-hand with his psychology. In the past couple of decades, there has been a renaissance of pragmatist ideas in philosophy, political theory, and education. Scholars are returning to the writings of William James, Charles Peirce, George Herbert Mead, and John Dewey. This book continues the fine tradition of Transaction's History and Theory of Psychology series.
