The School And Society

The School and Society is a book written by the American philosopher and educator John Dewey. Originally published in 1899, the book presents Dewey's ideas on the relationship between education and society, and the role of the school in shaping the future of both. Dewey argues that the school should not be seen as a separate institution from society, but rather as an integral part of it. He believes that the purpose of education is not simply to impart knowledge and skills, but to prepare students to be active and engaged citizens who can contribute to the betterment of society. Dewey also emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, where students learn through direct experiences and interactions with their environment, rather than simply memorizing facts and figures. He advocates for a curriculum that is relevant to students' lives and interests, and that encourages them to think critically and creatively.The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the relationship between the school and society, while the second part focuses on the practical implications of Dewey's ideas for the organization and management of schools. Overall, The School and Society is a seminal work in the field of education, and continues to be influential in shaping educational theory and practice.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1905 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
