Schools of Tomorrow (1915)

Schools of Tomorrow is a book written by John Dewey, an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer. Published in 1915, the book explores Dewey's ideas on progressive education, which emphasizes hands-on learning and problem-solving rather than rote memorization and passive learning. Dewey argues that traditional education methods are outdated and fail to prepare students for the rapidly changing world. He proposes a new approach to education that prioritizes experiential learning, critical thinking, and collaboration. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of education and explores the shortcomings of traditional education methods. The second part discusses the principles of progressive education and provides examples of progressive schools in action. The third part addresses the practical challenges of implementing progressive education in schools. Overall, Schools of Tomorrow is a seminal work in the field of education and has had a significant impact on educational theory and practice. It remains relevant today as educators continue to grapple with how best to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
