The Child And The Curriculum (1902)

The Child and the Curriculum is a seminal work in the field of education written by John Dewey, a renowned philosopher and educational reformer. Originally published in 1902, the book explores the relationship between the child and the curriculum, arguing that the curriculum should be based on the child's interests, experiences, and abilities. Dewey believed that education should be a process of growth and development, rather than simply the acquisition of knowledge and skills. He argued that the curriculum should be designed to help children develop their natural curiosity and creativity, and to encourage them to become active learners who are capable of solving problems and making decisions. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the nature of the child, the second part exploring the nature of the curriculum, and the third part examining the relationship between the two. Throughout the book, Dewey emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, arguing that children learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process. The Child and the Curriculum is a classic work that continues to influence educational theory and practice to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
