How We Think

Autor John Dewey
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2020
In this short book Dewey shows what pragmatist learning theory means for epistemology (what it means to think well) and for pedagogy (the study of teaching and learning). The starting point is a mind already active, curious and interested in what's going on around it, that, given the chance, will figure out how to read its environment for conditions likely to improve its qualitative experience. Learning what things mean in a way that enables you to make a difference you care about is the only kind of learning worth the effort. (Maughn Gregory)

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

John Dewey's How We Think advises us to step back from the noisy clutter of the information age. The acquisition of information, no matter how voluminous, by itself, is neither knowledge nor critical thinking. In How We Think, Dewey provides a clear but profound philosophical analysis of how we transform ideas into instruments to solve our personal, social, and political problems.


Notă biografică

"We are apt to look at the school from an individualistic standpoint, as something between teacher and pupil, or between teacher and parent. That which interests us most is naturally the progress made by the individual child of our acquaintance, his normal physical development, his advance in ability to read, write, and figure, his growth in the knowledge of geography and history, improvement in manners, habits of promptness, order, and industry-it is from such standards as these that we judge the work of the school." John Dewey (1859-1952) was a philosopher, educational reformer, and a psychologist. The School and Society was Dewey's first published book of length on education, and it paved the foundation for his later works on this same topic. Dewey's works are a valuable source of information and anyone interested in learning more about education and child development.
